PHOENIX — Travelers in and around downtown Phoenix on Monday night should expect heavy traffic, with the Arizona Diamondbacks in town and country pop superstar Shania Twain playing next door.
The Diamondbacks are back home after a seven-game road trip to host the Texas Rangers at 6:40 p.m. at Chase Field (401 E Jefferson St.).
Meanwhile, Twain’s “Now” tour hits Talking Stick Resort Arena (201 E Jefferson St.) with a start time of 7:30 p.m.
The singer’s first U.S. tour since 2015, which kicked off on May 3, is winding down. Only three shows remain after the Phoenix date, with the finale scheduled for Saturday in Las Vegas.
