In context, Gila River Arena is the 25th professional hockey arena that I have been to for a hockey game. So that is why I think it's kind of a 2nd rate venue. Not saying it's horrible, but compared to the other arenas I've visited, Gila River doesn't measure up. The area around the arena is nice, with lots of shops and restaurants so you can make an evening of it. But once you get into the arena, you can see it is a little run down and long in the tooth. The concourse around the arena is very narrow...kind of reminiscent of Nassau Coliseum, which is 30 years older than this place. Food options are fairly generic...nothing special. Seats are narrow (compared to a venue such as T-Mobile arena) so you feel kind of squeezed in and you can't avoid pressing your shoulders against your neighbor. The other thing that was disappointing was the lack of energy in the arena. The lights, sounds and graphics are rudimentary with little pizzazz. I saw the Coyotes play the Maple Leafs and there seemed to be more Leafs fans there. One section was almost entirely blue. It reminded me of when I saw a baseball game at Tropicana Field and it felt like a library. I'm not trying to hate on this place but it doesn't feel like you've been to a professional sporting event when you attend a game here. The people who run this should take a trip to Las Vegas or Edmonton and see how it's done.
I have yet to see a concert here, but I've been to a few Coyotes games and I think it's a great arena. The parking cost is a little pricey, but there's more availability than at the Suns stadium and closer spots than at the nearby Cardinals stadium. Considering the reasonable price and available deals for Coyotes tickets, $25 for parking isn't awful. There's also cheaper options at the nearby hotel. I've been seated in different areas and there really aren't any bad seats. Even the bathrooms are decent. They have some good food and drink options, but nothing outstanding. I prefer their pretzels, but that's a personal bias. Like all stadiums, it's somewhat overpriced, especially for alcohol, but the event of a game makes a trip here worth it. Every game has mini-activities, and they put on special stuff for holidays like Halloween (with every moment having its own individual sponsor). Dress warm, especially if you're seated closer to the rink, and prepare for an all-around cool time.
Came here again for a Muse/Evanescence/Highly Suspect concert on 4/3/23. The arena has since been renamed Desert Diamond Arena and the Coyotes no longer play here. Oh well. Our experience was great, except for one small snag. No draft beer. Went to 5 concessions and all they had were the gigantic cans...which since we aren't power drinkers (sorry Baccus-Badgers) didn't really work. Now worries, took a big beer for the team. Concert venue gets high marks. Although the GA floor never did fill, which looked at bit odd and might have left performers wanting,,,more? Clean restrooms a plus. Well stocked and no overflowing trash cans like other venues. Security staff Q's efficient and parking was a BREEZE in and out. Venue holds 18,xxx and the crowd was definitely loud. Muse was epic, so we're the opening acts. Acoustics worked great from section 119 row N for a couple of old farts like us. Seats were comfortable for tired knees. Views were acceptable from our $150 seats. Ticket prices are out of hand but better with three artists on the bill. Cup holders in the back of seats in front of you a nice convenience. Do not bring a purse, satchel, or backpack. No go here. Pack light and charge your phone. Cell service was decent for most of the concert so we could stay social relevant. All in all a nice experience. Final note - book your parking online for $10 in Lot G for quickest ingress/egress pre/post event. Cheers! We will be back.
I've had the pleasure of attending a Duran Duran concert, several Coyote hockey games and now PBR bull riding and can honestly say I've always enjoyed this venue. Located on the outskirts of WestGate it is surrounded by restaurants & bars ... The security check before you get in is well staffed and the lines move quickly.. the ushers in the different sections are always helpful in pointing you to your seats. The amenities are adequate for the large crowds, food options include Dunkin donuts, nachos, wetzel pretzels, lots of drink options including several cocktail bars (for us non-beer drinkers). Looking forward to my next visit..
Current bag policy at Gila River Arena is a joke! Prior to any event, I diligently check the COVID policy and bag policy. The current bag policy includes measurements for PERMITTED clutch style bags. These measurements are pretty standard for most venues. I have a crossbody clutch that I take to all events with this same bag policy. Upon entering the metal detectors at Gila River, I was told my bag was not permitted. I pointed at their printed diaphragm of permitted bags and was told that my bag is prohibited because it has a strap. Lame! If straps are not permitted, that should be added to the bag policy information. Side note: My boot laces were longer than my purse strap. I'm sure there were people inside the venue with belts longer than my purse strap.
I was here back in November for a concert and I honestly thought it was such a great experience! I don't like AZ for many reasons but we had a great time. Everyone wore masks (thank god) but i think it's only cause the artist said to...and tbh whatever the king himself says, i will do! The floor was not crazy at all, and I can honestly say I had such a wonderful time. Staff was nice and helpful the entire time.
Flew out for the King's game and surprisingly at least 50% or more in attendance (think only 3K allowed in) hailed from LA! Very grateful that AZ is allowing fans, unlike CA (recall is in the works for our illustrious Guvnah). Anyway, parking is convenient ($25 touchless), entry requires to be "Clear" via the app (which didn't work, so they had an optional QR scan that was FAST - why didn't they give me that in the first place?), masks must be worn (no gaiters, luckily the nice guy @ the gate had a box full of disposables), seats were great (section 113, row V), and game experience was FUN FUN FUN! As for distancing, seats were mostly paired with a two seat separation (zip tied closed), and an every other row configuration. Was actually nice not to be sardined in our seats! I'm liking some aspects of the Covid world we live in. Felt "normal," if only for the weekend...
First time at Gila River Arena & I want disappointed. Bathrooms, walkways, seating...everything nice and cleaned. I was on the top deck and will say that they had few vendors open, possibly due to Covid, but its alittle annoying that bottom deck has everything open and the top is slim pickens. None the less I enjoyed myself. Wear a fat jacket or sweater because it's obviously chilly inside, but if you forget one those $14 beers will have you nice & warm. Oh, I paid $15 for parking in Westgate, but if you're planning on having dinner after the game most places will validate your parking & take the $15 off your tab.
For Father's Day, I had gifted my husband tickets to go see the band, the killers at the Gila River Arena in Glendale. We arrived late to the concert but were still able to park at the hotel, Renaissance valet parking. You can also pre-pay for parking through your Ticketmaster account, but I wouldn't wait until last minute because we did that and it was already full. The valet at the Renaissance didn't take long at all and it was $30. It's a pretty easy arena to navigate. Straight forward. What I didn't know ahead of time is that you can only bring in a very small purse. My purse was small and I only had two items in it and they still made me check it out a locker for $10. However the locker service does go to veterans so that made me feel better. I was actually more upset about the extra step before and after the concert. I got my husband a $40 T-shirt and an eight dollar Gatorade because we weren't drinking alcohol, however alcohol is served and if you're getting a beer, you can go to the Heineken tent for draft beer or you can get a tall beer. They do that so you don't have to keep going back. They have a bar for cocktails and wine and seltzer as well as non alcoholic beverages. The ushers are very helpful. There were people sitting in our seats when we got there late and they helped us out. Overall, the venue is nothing too spectacular, a basic event venue. I would go return for another concert. It's located in the Westgate entertainment center which has tons of entertainment. Shopping, restaurants, Dave & Buster's, etc. You could make a day of it if you had the time before the concert. I would definitely go back to see another show. I know that they are in the process of renaming to Desert Diamond Arena. Look at the bag policy!
Went to the Jurassic Quest event with the kids. This was a drive through dinosaur experience. You pay by car. you can also buy gift packs. We bought one. It had a poster, dinosaur, backpack, dinosaur egg with slime & baby dinosaur in it. During the drive, you have a link to play on your phone or through the car to listen to the narration. It's a kid friendly, fun story about the dinosaur quest through. We did have a hard time staying in the storyline of where we actually were on the drive, lol. But overall it was good. The kids really enjoyed it and that's what mattered to me
Disappointed that the venue allowed the sale of obstructed view tickets without them being labeled obstructed view. But according to the staff you can see a piece of the stage so it's not obstructed.
I have been here for lots of events including hockey games , concerts and a coUple other types. OveralL a great venue with plennty of food options in the area. The last event aattended was the coyotes game and it was packed which was nice to see. The atmosphere of the game was great they did alot of giveaways tO fans and the team won which was great. If you have never been to a game I definitely suggest coming out and seeing one aS it was such a fun thing to do while in the area, they also hAve a toon of great food options for the whole fAmily.
As far as arenas go, this is a nice one. We go to a lot of hockey games and the occasional concert here, and this season (2019-2020) the arena has really stepped up the vending game with many more upscale options. There are fancy-ish, restaurant-style stands that are occupied by a single vendor like Grand Canyon Brewing and they serve only a few drink options, but they also have a single food option that you wouldn't expect to find at a game. For example, we saw a manned carved turkey station at Grand Canyon at the last game and pork belly tacos at Saint Archer at the one before. Plenty of food and drink options no matter what your preference is. The gear is priced typical of sports events (i.e., waaaay too high), but we expect that. One thing we especially love about Gila River is that if you park in the Westgate lots, you can bring your parking receipt in to any of the bars/restaurants and they take $15 off your bill! If you didn't know that, you're welcome LOL. It makes the 1 hour or so drive from the east valley a TAD more tolerable. Go Yotes!

It's a basic arena. Nothing really special about it. Nothing really wrong with it. Chairs are padded both seat and back. Acoustics were good for The Lumineers concert. I had only previously been in this arena for NHL Coyotes hockey. One minus is that Westgate shopping center charges $15 for parking during concerts and other big events at the arena. However, if you buy something at Westgate and give them the parking receipt, they will remove the $15 from your bill. My friends enjoy happy hour prices at Bar Louie right across from the entrance to the area arena and get the $15 of their bill. I prefer to simply park slightly farther out by the Outlets and walk. I also find it saves time leaving after the concert also. The closer $15 parking lots do not have workers after the concert helping to make the traffic flow efficiently. It took over 20 minutes for them to get out of the lot nearest the stadium. read more
Been here many many times. I like that it is closer to home, but wow parking is crazy and $$$. They did give us a coupon that we get $15 dollars off if we ate at one of the establishments listed. But be prepared to wait in long lines at any of those establishments. The bag policy and each of the people working there have different options. WHAT? I checked the bag policy on their website and measured my bag prior to going. And I had to ask the security person before I got into the line is this bag ok, because I still had time to run back to the car. Entering the metal detectors, I was told my bag was not permitted. I told them that the staff member directing crowds said it was ok and she measured my bag with a paper her had. read more

So I'm here at least once a year to see the Coyotes take on the Rangers. This year I bought BMW Lounge tickets and sat three rows behind the Rangers bench. Overall, it was a good experience even though the Coyotes are a sad team. After seeing the arena in Vegas, Gila River Arena needs to step it up a little. The BMW Lounge could use some renovations..the windows where the players walk are partially obstructed by zig zag beams, which is annoying and the food is just ok. I'm vegan so there weren't a lot of options for me, unfortunately. Is it worth the expensive ticket? Yes, because my seats were awesome and I would have paid it even if I didn't have access to the Lounge. The arena is still clean and is still in good shape...just wish the sound was better and there were cooler things...like Vegas had this UFO thing fly around with cameras on it that would show on the Jumbotron. Also, I find the Coyotes fans to be annoying...all they do is howl and they have this chant where they mispronounce the team name. It's a coyote (kai*oh*tee). They pronounce it like kai*ōt. Why not chant "Go Coyotes Go"? They can't even pronounce their team name correctly lol. read more
This is an awesome arena. The seats are comfy and we could see everything. Security was on it and the staff in our area were busy kicking people out of seats that they had snuck into but weren't theirs. I really appreciate the good food choices. I had a very tasty hamburger from Cold Beers and Cheeseburgers. They have a Dunkin Donuts stand, a place to get poke, and a few breweries too. It's nice to have variety! Bring your jacket for the hockey games as of course it is chilly. read more
We attended the WWE smackdown here and first time being at the arena. Smaller than i thought. They had native New York and some snack bar and drinks inside. I had the wetzel pretzel and pink lemonade which was $15. It was fine. The facility was clean. Fun show. read more

As all arenas are, traffic getting in and out is a pain but this arena was on the short list of relatively pain free. Lots of restaurants around the arena if you don't feel like 20$ beers etc. Everyone inside was super friendly and helpful to guide me around. The box service was terrific although disappointing for my guests to find out that the dessert cart option has gone away post covid. All in all a great experience for one of the last ever Coyotes games in this arena. read more

3/22/2022 Coyotes Vs Kraken. As soon as I walked up not even to the security door, a staff member tells me my 10 inch bag is not within code and I have to pay for a locker or put in my car (I ubered). When I got to the lockers they were on a small uhaul type white truck with the lockers in the back. It was $10 for anything bigger than 12 inches wide. I was stern with the guy and told him my purse is definitely smaller than 12 inches and asked for a ruler he rudely replied I know my lockers and that won't fit. I stopped arguing and out my bag away and it didn't even take up half the locker space... waste of time and money I had to hold my wallet so they were literally just holding my bag in a random truck outside... also a single beer is $15. Cocktails range from $14-$25. The food is reasonable for being at a sporting event but a $15 beer?! Wtf. Don't bring any vaping devices they WILL make you throw it away. There is no smoking section. These were the best seats I've been able to sit in, I loved how close we were. I remember coyotes games hyping up the crowd a lot more when I was younger now it's just basic chants. read more
First time seeing a concert here and I was impressed! They seemed to manage the crowd fairly well and the arena was clean and staff was accommodating to my broken foot and even offered handicap seats since I am non weight bearing. I was impressed with the staff, cleanliness, and audio and visual. Parking was a little costly, but at least it is close to the colosseum. read more
The last stop in Disturbed's headlining tour in the U.S. was here at Gila River Arena and I like to hope we gave David Draiman a good send off. :) We got here close to when the concert started and went with the garage parking due to convenience ($15). From there it was a short walk to the entrance where there were long lines but they moved fairly efficiently due to good planning from the staff. Everyone helping us, from the ticket scanner to the gentlemen showing us where our seats were located, was friendly and polite. This was a nice venue for the show. We had a pretty good view of the stage from where we were (2nd section closest to the stage, mid row). The acoustics were great. As far as temperature level in the arena it was good, not too cold or hot. Getting out of the parking lot wasn't too bad, surprisingly. We were out in a short amount of time. It's a bit of a drive for us to the arena but compared to other concert venues this one is pretty good! read more
I've been to multiple Coyote's games here, as well as several concerts. It's not a large arena, but that's okay because it gives it a homey feel when attending events here. The security check points to get in aren't bad, and overall the stadium is pretty well managed. The restrooms are plentiful and cleaner than can be expected. There aren't any obvious structural issues or neglected maintenance as you walk around, which is always a good sign. The employees of the arena have always been friendly and helpful in my experience. The only down side is the seats are just too friggin small. I'm a little guy, at 5 foot 6 and they feel cramped even for me. It's pretty much an expected thing now with stadiums and airlines ... the seats are just gonna be a drag, but it's still worth noting. read more

Can I bring in a purse?
Based on the latest bag policy small clutch bags are permitted. HOWEVER, it cannot have a strap.
How strict is the bag policy?
No bags or purses allowed for Hockey games, NHL rule. Not sure about other events.
Just curious, how are they checking for proof of vaccination or negative Covid tests? Will a screenshot or photo on phone suffice?
We were not checked. I had my certification if necessary but it was never asked for.
If I buy tickets directly from the ticket office, will it exclude all the Ticketmaster fees? I don't want to do the driving unless it saves me the cost of those fees.
I don't believe it will however I always get better seating at the box office.
