PHOENIX — The board of directors of the Maricopa County Stadium District, which is overseeing the renovation of Chase Field, has hired Valley businessman Mark Winkleman as its executive director.

While the Maricopa County Stadium District has been around since 1991, the board was given new life last year after the state legislature approved a law to redirect some tax dollars generated at the Major League Baseball stadium to the renovation of the 28-year-old professional sports facility.
