Was invited to watch the Suns-Warriors last In-Game NBA Matchup since I was in town and since the Golden State Warriors won the match over the LA Clippers 2 days prior. A relative is a Season-Ticket holder so I was invited to watch what would be my 2nd NBA game ever watched, LOL! Since I'm a Warriors fan, it was a dream come true. Plus a friend flew in from Hawaii just to see the match so we were both in Heaven!! I was so giddy when we arrived and in anticipation of the game. We had Valet parking and went thru a door and downstairs to the upscale & bougie Annexus Social Club. Big screens all over, free drinks and a nice buffet ranging from Sushi, Oysters, Prawns, Lobster, Crab Claws, Pastas, Charcuterie Boards, Desserts, Fruit/Salads, Popcorn & Snack area w/Canned drinks to bring to the arena. I was too excited to eat but did order some Rum & Cokes that I was able to bring to the floor. I was told to leave at the 2-minute mark before the half and before the game was over so we could hit the bathroom, bar, for more food and to get a table if not at the bar. At gametime, I found my seats and was on the 2nd row on the Warriors side(YAY!!!) below the basket! Dream come true and found myself just amazed, watching the team just feet away, saw myself on the Jumbotron and later on my friends and relatives said they saw me on TV during a closeup with the ref & Suns' player, LOL!! Seats were ample and we got free Suns t-shirts which were laid out on our seat-backs. Ambiance, food, experience even the bathrooms were well-kept. Valet parking helped vs. trying to get out of a large parking lot. Stellar experience and Jasmine, our bartender!! read more

PHX Arena is truly such an amazing experience. First off, the workers are so kind and attentive. It was hard to navigate the entrance I needed to enter through, but everyone was nice and patient when asking for help and directions. The arena is by far the most clean I've ever seen. It's so lively and the entertainment is always great. The lighting is perfect and the monitors and screens are visible and clear. The sound and announcements were a bit low, but maybe that varies depending on the location of your seats. The food was tremendous. My party had access to the Annexus Social Club, which if you are able to, it's worth the hype. Just hope to get invited into the RaRa Room one time! My party ubered but from previous experiences, onsite garages and surrounding garage/area parking is available, easy and convenient. Overall, a 10/10 experience and I can't wait to go attend more events and games here in the future! read more

Like any stadium, it depends on the event and where you sit. I've been here for concerts and men's and women's basketball games, and sat in all levels of seating from upper deck to suites to courtside. The courtside seating experience is fantastic, especially if there for a Mercury game where the fans are some of the most supportive I have seen across all sports. The foot in the ultra club was worthwhile, including pork bao buns as a highlight. The ability to escape the game atmosphere for the seating area in back is also nice. The suites are a hit or miss experience. The food can be well curated with great meat and veggie selections, or lesser options like ground beef and hot dogs. The location of the suite also matters, as the ones I have been in don't have an optimal concert view. The staff are also really quick to put everything away as soon as the third quarter ends of the basketball game, so I recommend grabbing desserts early. The Cold Beers and Cheeseburgers lounge is a nice in between that offers some grilled food and a nice area (when not crowded) to hang out before or during a basketball game. They limit two drinks, but the line moves fast. Standard seating depends on event and angle, though the upper deck feels much closer for basketball than other arenas I have been to. If it is a promotional night they put the items on the seats, which in theory means everyone or most should get one. However, I have had multiple experiences of people taking the giveaways from my entire row or section before I got there. For concerts it is worth sitting on the floor in my opinion for the best angle. It's a nice modern arena. I think the price of beer is too high, but they get good shows, and I do like the Mercury experience. The Suns are hit or miss. read more

I've been to this arena for countless events over the last two decades. I've seen Justin Timberlake, JLo, Billie Eilish, Cirque du Soleil, and several athletic events. The fairly recent, multi-million dollar renovation has made it very open and modern feeling. I'm not a fan of the new name, Morgage Matchup Center??? read more

Last year I saw Def Leppard, Journey and the Steve Miller Band at the PHX arena. Last night I was lucky enough to see Stevie Nicks. As of three days ago, this arena was renamed the Morgage Matchup Center which has close ties with Phoenix Sun's basketball team owner Mat Ishbia. Both of the concerts were great but the "suite" experience took it to the next level sweet! Endless dinner buffet, desserts, bottomless soda, wine, beer and popcorn with all the seasoning shaker toppings. Last nights spread was impressive: loaded mixed green salads with fresh dressing, Asian cold noodle salads, hot sliced meat with rolls, deluxe Mac and cheese, ingredients to build your own tacos, teriyaki seared pork belly and shrimp and a chef slicing tri trip roast offering prickly pear glaze and or sprinkled with fresh black pepper or course salt. For dessert there were fresh cookies, individual mango cheesecake cups, chocolate mint cupcakes and four kinds of dessert bars. Lemon, layered nut and oatmeal among them. I was stuffed by dessert time but had to taste the cupcake which was fresh, minty and satisfying! Parking was a breeze with private security check-in, and the clean, no-wait restrooms nearby were a definite plus. It was an evening of VIP treatment! It will be a delight for me to have a "suite" opportunity again in the future! read more

The arena has all the trimmings... food, drinks, accessible restrooms and more. The concessions take debit & credit cards, no cash. The seats were really good. Looking around, I don't think there's a bad seat. There is a lot of parking near the arena, accessible via lightrail as well. read more

We came this time to see Stevie Nicks! She told a story about how the opening act was instrumental in her recovery when she broke her shoulder because she listened to them every day and let me tell you, it must be true what they say about how a lot of sleep aids in recovery because I could barely stay awake! But Stevie? Wow, better and better. She has not lost a step. She sang some of her old songs and some new stuff and, I'm guessing in tribute to him, a Tom Petty song that they did together and one that was just his and she KILLED it. The guy she had doing Tom Petty's part for sure wasn't Petty but that dude rocked it! They sounded great! This was another chance to be in the suite because my company sponsors the Suns so I get to attend a lot of events here and I am so thankful for all the opportunities I have to be here. They always have a big buffet going and the food is very eclectic and there's always something for everyone! I love these shows and I love this place and as a lifetime long Suns fan, I'm so happy we get to see them throughout the year! read more

I'm a man of principle. So this review is about a frustrating policy (and a rare one) that PHX Arena has. Before I get to that, here's an overview. The home of the Phoenix Suns, PHX Arena (previously the Footprint Center) is located downtown. Due to the location, parking isn't easy. There are a ton of parking garages and street parking close by where you'll have to pay to park. If you're looking for free parking, it's possible but you'll have a walk ahead of you. Beyond Suns games, PHX Arena also hosts a lot of concerts and comedy shows. The arena itself is pretty impressive. It's sleek and it's pretty easy to figure out how to get to your seat. And here's probably the best part: it's set up logistically in a way that you can leave the arena easily without because stuck in a human traffic jam (as is common at other venues). The arena itself is large. If you're sitting on the second level, you'll be far away from the action, but you'll be saving some money. There are a bunch of concessions with your typical array of soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, and stadium food. All at overinflated prices. Now, let's get to the problem. At your typical concert, you'll have at least one or two opening acts before headliner comes on stage. If you only want to arrive to see the headliner, it's tough to know exactly when he or she will come on stage. I've gotten pretty good at it because I'm the self-appointed king of concerts. I average at least one a week. When I'm not interested in the opening acts, I've figured out a way to make the most of my time: I call the venue a day or two before the show and ask for the set times. Every venue knows what the set times are (and it's more accurate than info you can find online at websites such as SetList.com). I've been to most of the venues in Phoenix and surrounding areas. Every single venue I've called (and I've done it often) has shared this information with me. PHX Arena is the only venue to refuse to do so. I was told that it's company policy to not share this information. So, essentially, PHX Arena seems to not care about the customer experience. They want you to get their early, so you can spend money on food and drinks. And they know if they share this information with you, you're less likely to do so. I'm not a fan of business tactics like these. PHX Arena brings in some big acts. It's a shame that they won't care much about their customers. Given my love of music, I'm sure I'll be back. But I'll be extra thrifty because of this policy. Please consider a change, PHX Arena. read more

Renamed the Phoenix Arena, but still worth it's weight in gold for concerts, imo. Recently saw a show here; from the "nosebleed" to the "mid" sections sight a sound weren't an issue. The Karen next to me gave those behind her a hard time standing up in front of them for half the show, but besides that, good times! read more

I was in Phoenix in late March and was able to enjoy a Celtics/Suns game on a Wednesday evening. I arrived downtown about two hours prior to tipoff. I was able to find a place to eat and have a drink about five minutes away. Game was a sellout and security was fairly efficient entering the arena. I felt upon entering the fan experience was paramount. The arena is over 30 years old but it is evident there have been a lot of renovations to make the arena current. My seats were in section 116 which were fantastic. I'm quite tall and had ample space. After the game we were able to secure an Uber with a 15-20 minute wait. Uber back to Scottsdale was between 25-30 bucks which is comparable to the trip down. I've been to multiple arenas and this was easily one of my favorites. Concession prices were a little high but outside of that I thoroughly enjoy my visit. read more

Mortgage Matchup Center - Usher baby - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Enough with the name changes. This is known as the arena that the Phoenix Suns play basketball in which is located in downtown Phoenix. I am hesitant to name the arena as it has gone through multiple name changes in the last 5 years. The last time I was here was when I saw a Trevor Noah concert when it was known as Talking Stick Resort Arena. Since then, it has been renamed three times. First as Phoenix Suns Arena, then as Footprint Center and lastly the name has changed this year to the current name, PHX Arena, which is an interim name and will change again to something more official. My experience at this arena watching a concert was comparable to those that I saw at Key Arena in Seattle (now known as Climate Pledge Arena) in which the seats are okay, albeit on the tight side for legroom. Cheap seats do have a view of the stage, but you can barely see the performer. I found myself looking at the video screen more often as a result, which kind of defeats the purpose of a live show as it is like watching your phone or TV. I do like that this arena is convenient to public transportation as I was able to catch a Valley Light Rail train after the show, which seems to end early enough to catch a late train. read more

My child had a medical emergency at the venue before the show started. Disney on ice has been cold (no pun intended) with extending any sympathy & will not offer a show exchange, partial refund or refund. Highly disappointed in their customer service. Very greedy. read more

Just what you'd expect for a game or concert. We were there for a concert. The sound system, seating and views were as good as any other. Plenty of places to get a meal or drink either before or after the event. Clean and well maintained. read more

A lot of mixed emotions about this venue, but overall a positive experience! I came here to see Troye Sivan and Charli XCX during the SWEAT TOUR, and I was not disappointed. Sound quality was decent and my nosebleeds (Section 216) still had a solid view of the stage. There's A LOT of staff here, so it easy to ask for directions if you need to find your seat. However, they weren't great about the vomit that was sitting on the stairs next to our section... Never got cleaned up throughout the entire show unfortunately... Staff walked by it several times too. read more

The seats are pretty comfortable but they aren't that big which is unfortunate because if you're a plus size individual, and I saw many, it couldn't have been comfortable and you're spilling out of the seat and onto/into people sitting next to you. I understand why the rows are narrow, they want to get as many people in as possible but it does make it challenging when people are constantly getting up and leaving from the middle or coming in. Lots of toe stepping. Acoustics are bananas in here. It's loud to a point during a basketball game that it feels uncomfortable. Overall, not terrible but definite room for improvement. read more

We came here for the Kylie Minogue concert on Saturday. The Security and Will call staff are very friendly. Everything was easy to find. It was a little bit of a mess once we got to the floor. They did not mark the seats correctly so a lot of people were confused about where they were supposed to sit. The reason I have to give such a low rating is the concession and drink prices are absolutely ridiculous. They are more expensive than most places on the strip. $80 for two drinks is abysmal. People are already spending enough on transportation and tickets. The arena needs to not be so greedy. read more

Visited for: Kylie Minogue concert on 4/19/25 I came to PHX Arena for the Kylie Minogue concert and had a great experience overall! The Event: PHX Arena was the perfect place for a pop concert! It's a smaller, more intimate venue compared to even other arenas that I've been to. The main stage had a short catwalk and end stage, plus a B-stage at the back of the floor. I was by the end stage, and I had a great view of the B-stage as well. Location: Super convenient! Tons of restaurants and bars nearby to grab food or drinks before the show, and plenty of hotel options within walking distance if you're coming from out of town. The Venue Itself: Entry was quick and efficient with clearly marked security and ticket checkpoints. Staff were friendly and gave clear directions to our section. Signage was clear, and navigating the venue was simple. Only noticed two merch stands, but if you show up a little early, it's not an issue. It also doesn't take long to walk around! Exiting the arena was very smooth--no bottlenecks or long waits. Overall: PHX Arena is a great place to catch a show. Intimate layout, good crowd flow, and helpful staff made it a fun and stress-free night. Would absolutely return for another concert! read more

This place really needs to get with the times and have more than 3 places for merch when you have thousands of people coming for a concert. It's wild to me that venues don't have more convenience for people who are already paying hundreds of dollars for tickets and other amenities. We were told the line at the beer garden for JoBro merch was shorter than the two in the lobby and waited for over an hour and missed the two opening acts. Very frustrating when you pay for concert tickets and the venue fails to plan for a large crowd. This isn't the first concert to happen here... on top of the fact that JoBro had to be rescheduled for a basketball game. I've seen similar comments and feedback about the same thing. Thanks a lot. read more

I visited the Footprint Center this past week for the first time! I was really surprised I haven't been before and impressed with the overall space. My friend and I saw a concert, thought we were LITERALLY the last row at the top, I felt our view and sound was great. Security was a breeze getting in thought I didn't take advantage of the dining or beverage options, they did have plenty to choose from. We were permitted to bring one sealed water bottle upon entry, which is always appreciated. Would definitely see another concert or check out a Suns game there In the future. read more

We watched BMTH here and it was outstanding how they manage events like concerts. The whole setup is great and crowd management is handled really well. I wish they were more creative with the special cocktails though. I'm pretty sure the "sickness" drink from the disturbed show was the same as the "kingslayer" drink from BMTH. I don't know if Phx arena has a role in that. I wanna go back and watch a basketball game. read more

Went to see U-S-H-E-R, I hadn't been in this arena in over fifteen years, since the last time I lived in Phoenix. We parked in the garage in 3rd and Jackson and walked directly across the street to enter the arena. We were in section 108 and found our seats pretty easily but boy was that a tight space! They really shoved those seats in as close as possible, forcing me to literally rub elbows with complete strangers. The restrooms were pretty clean but the toilet paper was out in one stall I went in. read more

Massive arena with a huge lobby (and a bar right upon entering!) and tons of seating. The air conditioning was surprisingly good, but the best part is how comfortable the seats are. I've been to plenty of venues with uncomfortable chairs, but the seats at PHX Arena were soooo plush. My biggest complaint is the parking situation, but that's a general complaint about downtown Phoenix. read more

My son wanted to go to the ATL game to see Dyson Daniels. The visiting tunnel is in section 120 and the Suns tunnel is in section 108. We were fortunate to get row 3 which put us near the tunnel. The gates open about 2 hours before game time. The security guards are good guys and keep things under control. Anyone, however, is allowed in the lower levels up to about 45 mins before game time. So you need to get there early because everyone surrounds the tunnels to try get things signed. If you have seats right around the tunnel, however, you can move the people out of the way. It allows good access prior to the game. After the game, if they win, then there probably is good access also. But if they lose then they understandably just want to leave. But they don't let all the random people down after the game so it is much less crowded. The view of the game is good. You are not allowed on to the floor. Those seats are much more expensive. Food is fairly expensive see some photos. But fry bread taco was good. read more

I recommend pre paying for your parking as it is a lot right across the street that connects you to the arena. Great crowd and staff.

Convenience of location and the parking garage right across the street, make Footprint Center over all handy to access. $20 to park at this time. You can reserve ahead by setting up an account, but it was a breeze just pulling in and paying. I prefer not to create another online account with another user name and password to remember. Very cozy arena. Pretty much every seat is a good seat in the house. My least favorite part is the seating. The metal grand stand the seats are on flex, and bounce when people walk. I prefer when the seating is attached to concrete. Footprint Center food and drinks are high. After tax a can of water is over $8.00. A small margarita was over $20.00. They have to make money, I understand. They have a nice selection of food. Wetzel'a Pretzels, None of which are allergen friendly. We ate left and then ate in the area again. Grabbed drinks while we were there. Cold Beers and Cheeseburgers, Spinato's, 48 Grill. Phoenix Grab and Go treats, Cantina Del Sol which was not open, and a few bars with adult beverages. Upon entering and leaving the employees were very welcoming. If your seats are in the section side where 101 is than entering the back side from the East side garage is a great option. If your seats are on the other side and you park elsewhere maybe the main entrance is the best. Maybe not all events have entry both side? I am unsure. read more

I went to the Meg Thee Stallion concert here and enjoyed the venue. There are numerous ways to enter the arena which I appreciated. It's also very accessible by local transportation. The parking nearby was a little costly so I parked near the university on the street less than half a mile away. The bathrooms were clean. The line for drinks and merchandise were a little on the slower side but that's expected for these type of events. My seat was in section 109 in the last row and I could see the performers pretty well without having to squint or rely on the screens too much. The seats were on the typical smaller side and not considerate of plus size patrons but it all worked out when we got up and danced! My only complaint is that the acoustics within the arena were a bit off. The layering of the music, live mics, and back track weren't all consistently fluid. read more
