Andrea Bocelli in concert was a wonderful night out, we got our tickets late but still had a good experience throughout. Crowds everywhere and the elevator - with an attendant inside to get people to the correct level - were so slow... but with a full house it was to be expected. Lines at the refreshment bars were long-ish and more expensive than I thought: a glass of wine in a paper cup was $18. The concert itself had me smiling a lot because the show itself was lights and opera and dancers, the violinist was superb, the orchestra director fantastic as were the Italian musicians. I have adored Bocelli and his incredible voice since his "Romanza" album came out, and seeing him live was such a treat for me, so I can also admit to have a bit of a crush on him. So enthralled by Andrea and the entire concert that I forgot to note the names of everyone else ... The venue is huge, stadium big; there is a covered walkway from the parking garage across the street, where parking was chock full: too few ADA spots and we ended up on the open terrace at the top. We were planning on going around the vendor stalls in the entrance area but didn't see any open after the concert. We had been at this venue (before the name change) and parked in the VIP area, making it quicker to enter, but the walk from the garage parking was a short one. Overall it was a great evening and fantastic concert. The seats were not the comfiest, with the back straight and very little leg room to boot, hard to cross legs and change position, but the seat backs had a holder for our drinks. Come back soon, Andrea !! read more

We had a great experience at this venue for the Maná concert! Found last minute tickets on a resale app and were lucky enough to get suite tickets in the Enclave section. This seat came with a semi-private booth, unlimited food and soft drinks from a buffet, and wine and beer as well. This felt like the ultimate VIP experience and the view was great as well. The sound was well balanced for the concert and the lights and effects were coordinated well too. I didn't partake this time because of the included buffet, but in walking around I was really impressed with all the dining options- local restaurants included instead of just the regular hot dogs and popcorn. The only downside is that due to the location, parking was hard to find/crowded and expensive. But that's downtown Phoenix for you. I'd return to this venue for another event for sure read more

The whole purpose of our visit to Phoenix was to go to a Mercury game at the Mortgage Matchup Center, and WOW, did we get the full experience! My friend has been a season ticket holder for years, so it was really fun to finally experience all the excitement with her. When we arrived, we dropped our car off at valet and headed inside. The process was incredibly quick, and we were inside almost immediately. Of course, the first thing we had to do was visit the team store. There were SO many options for both the Suns and the Mercury, so it was definitely worth checking out. From there, we headed to Club Gila River, which was included with our seats. They had beer, wine, Aquafina, and soft drinks available. The Aquafina came in cans, which I thought was interesting because I was expecting it to be carbonated for some reason, but it was just regular water--and honestly, it was delicious! Then came the food. There was a hot dog and salad bar, plus a hot food station with ribs, veggie pasta--which was my favorite--pot roast, and mashed potatoes. They even had homemade pizza! And then there was the dessert bar. Naturally, we had to get one of everything and have a little taste test, ranking everything from favorite to least favorite. The sea salt chocolate chip cookie was my favorite, while everyone else at the table seemed to love the matcha tiramisu. Either way, we definitely did not leave hungry! After filling our bellies, we headed to our seats--and they were COURTSIDE!!! Talk about an experience! The opposing team would walk right past us as they came out, and they were all giving us high fives as they passed. The Mercury warmed up at the basket right in front of us, so we got to see the players incredibly close. It was such a cool experience that you simply can't get from the upper levels. The dance team stood right behind us, so we learned all the chants and got to participate in everything happening around us. I absolutely loved the atmosphere. They had the Golden Grannies dancing, an exercise studio group performing, and so many different people getting involved. It really felt like it didn't matter your age, your body type, or anything else--they were celebrating EVERYONE. We even got to see Scorch, the mascot, come by. He was so much fun and even participated in the dunking during a break in play. And then, to make the night even better, the Mercury WON! We got to be part of the celebration before heading back to our car. Thankfully, we barely had to wait for the valet, which was especially appreciated because it was HOT outside. Overall, this was an AWESOME experience, and honestly, I don't think anything will ever top it! From the food and entertainment to being courtside and getting high fives from the players, it was such a fun and memorable night. Thank you to Mortgage Matchup Center for creating such an energetic, welcoming place to host WNBA games and for making everyone feel like they're part of the experience. This was definitely a night I won't forget! read more

Attended the Phoenix Mercury v Atlanta Dream game - what a time! First time in AZ and seeing a WNBA game. We really enjoyed ourselves! The fans are really loyal, the entertainment, the game itself - everything was top tier. This game had over 12K in attendance which was a sell out. The ATL Dream won - yeah for our home team! I'll definitely go out to support more WNBA games. read more

I'm back. I really enjoy the games, truly. But it's little things that irk me about this venue - most recently the fact that they promote special things and then don't have them available. To specify, there was a promotion on the official Mercury instagram saying that if you signed up for the Spinato's pizza rewards program, you would get a coupon for a free personal cheese pizza. I'm all for doing things to snag a deal - even when you risk sharing your personal data - so I registered for the rewards and got my pizza coupon. It also included a free cannoli coupon. So next time I went to a game, I was excited to get a free dinner out of it too. Only to get to Spinato's inside the venue and be told that the rewards program doesn't work there because "they have a different system". Okay great, don't have the Mercury instagram page promote specials that you can't even use during a Mercury game - I find that completely pointless. Why would I travel all the way to a Spinato's establishment if the most common one I have access to is inside the venue... Anyways, I got Wetzel's Pretzels and one of the $2 fountain sodas. A $3.50 additional cost for a tiny cheese cup is crazy btw. Be warned that the $2 soda is a small cup compared to the almost $12 souvenir soda, but technically you can buy 3-4 small sodas and get the same amount of drink for cheaper. Just a way to beat "the system" there. Rock the Pink night was fun - Scorch had a special pink outfit and hair that they probably only bring out for that day. read more

I have seen many concerts at Mortgage Matchup Center, this review for August 14, 2026. The sight lines and sound have always been good and was the case again. Typically sit one of the first two sections on the side. We were fortunate this time with row 1 seats. Great view with standing optional. Fantastic performance by the Doobie Brothers as the opening act started at 7pm. They played for 1.5 hours, high energy and crisp sound. We had a 30 minute break between performances. Santana came out at 9pm and performed for 2 hours, did all his hits and closed with Smooth. Definitely bucket list item for me to see the legendary Carlos Santana perform. The venue was clean, lines were reasonable for security entrance, bathrooms and concessions. Recommend! read more

Why does this arena change names every 2-4 years?!?! Anyways. I came here a few years ago when it was the Foot Print Center. Getting in the door had always been really easy here, I like how they've at least figured out how to stream line the security process. Lots of bars and food vendors to buy super expensive drinks and snacks from. Long lines for the restrooms. But the people working here were friendly. I came here to watch a comedy show featuring Nate Bargatze and it was hilarious. But the restroom situation sucked and even though paying $20 for a drink is the norm, I still don't like it. read more

The Mortgage Matchup Center is a premier multi-purpose sports and entertainment arena located in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. It is the home venue for the NBA's Phoenix Suns and the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, accommodating roughly 18,000 spectators for basketball games. The venue opened on June 6, 1992, at a cost of $89 million. Since then, it has been known by several names, including America West Arena, US Airways Center, Talking Stick Resort Arena, and PHX Arena. Concessions feature local and celebrity-backed favorites, including Shaq's Big Chicken, Los Soles Taqueria, Spinato's Pizza, and Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers. No complaints from this Yelper. This is a solid place for entertainment. read more

04/17/2026 Took my mom to watch the Phoenix Suns in the playoffs play-in tournament. She had not been there since before the arena was remodeled. Every time I've gone there, getting through security was pretty quick, and the arena was clean. We were very early, so we grabbed food on the second floor in the food court. We both got the Courtside Classic pizza from Spinato's, as well as canned Dasani water. I'm glad the venue added a more affordable option for drinking water. The pizza was hot and fresh. The Team Shop had a lot of shirts on sale, and we bought a couple. It was fan appreciation night as well, so each seat had a free XL purple Suns T-shirt. The halftime show was an exciting duo that performed some dangerous moves! We left the game with about 5 minutes left on the shot clock to beat traffic (lesson learned from the last time I left at the end of the game and got stuck in the parking garage for a long time). On our walk out, one of the crew handed me a free T-shirt! It was one of the shirts they throw or shoot out of the cannon. We had a lot of fun, and I'm so glad my mom had a great experience here. read more

I attended the USA men's gymnastics championships in August 2026. I was lucky to find street parking so was able to avoid the high priced parking lots near the stadium on Jefferson. The venue was great for this event. They had Pizza, Barbecue, drinks, Natcho's and other Mexican food that was expensive but good. The event was set up very nicely and the parallel bars were right in front of the of me so I was happy for that with high bar just to my left. The men were top talent with several olympians competing. There were no long delays and the meet ran smoothly. It was outstanding. I'm very happy I was able to see this. read more

I've been to this venue twice now. The first time was for a Mercury game when it was still called PHX Arena. It was so fun and seemed like there wasn't a bad seat. That was proven right a few months later when I went to see the Billie Eilish show. We got nosebleed seats and I was pleasantly surprised how great the view was from there! The seating, the sound, the stage were all great. Like most venues, the food and drinks are overpriced. There aren't a lot of vegetarian/vegan options either. I think the options near our seats were some not-so-great soft pretzels and nachos. I took a rideshare for both events because I didn't want to deal with traffic or expensive parking. There are however, a decent amount of parking garages nearby. read more

Mortgage Matchup Arena runs a tight operation. Crowd control was solid, entry was smooth, and there were no bottlenecks or chaos getting inside, which already puts it ahead of the curve. Even from the higher, nosebleed sections, the sightlines were excellent. No bad seats here. You can still see the action clearly and feel plugged into the game. Now for the reality check. A double margarita ran me $49. Forty. Nine. Dollars. That's not a splurge, that's price gouging with confidence. I'm docking one star solely for that, because at those prices the drink should come with a souvenir cup, a backstory, and a personal thank-you from management. Overall, it's a well-run arena and a great place to catch a game. Just eat beforehand and hydrate responsibly unless you're prepared to refinance your seat. 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

I've come here for years and have been through the past 2-3 name changes so that is considered my experience with this venue. I've seen many concerts and basketball games here and have continued to be impressed with the seamless process of getting in and out of the arena. There's plenty of staff around every corner so you'll never get lost. Even when you get inside the arena, there's also staff there to guide you to your seats. They're also organized and clean-whether it's the bathroom, food court, or seating. The nosebleed seats are the only minimal issue as it feels very compact and is not quite accessible for everybody. Overall, Mortgage Matchup Center is my favorite venue for concerts because the sound is so nice regardless of where you sit which is hard to experience at other concert venues. The view is typically really good too, even in nosebleeds! read more

THIS PLACE is a PARTY! The entrance is so frenetic and electric I felt like I was entering a pocket city. There's massive screens, a huge bar, and team store as you enter the arena. I went with family for a Suns game and it was an immediate feast for the senses. The lighting, aesthetic, and colors were very hip and trendy. I love an arena that isn't overly bright, the soft lighting was perfect, I got a lounge vibe (in a good way)in some sections of the property. Parts of the concourse level (near the concessions) felt a little too industrial but I still enjoyed the atmosphere. Elevators were narrow and easy to find, however I didn't get a cramped or crowded feeling like some other NBA arenas. Traffic flow was steady as Mortgage Matchup is pretty spacious. Concessions were solid, they had grab-n-go items, a grill, and variety of other arena staples. Most food items are found downstairs, I didn't see much to work with upstairs. The VIP/Suites seemed well-stocked and the food looked yummy. I'd recommend buying a alcoholic beverage at the big bar near the main entrance, they seemed to have the most options. Honestly, it's another excuse to be near the incredible entrance hub (you can tell it was my favorite spot). Seats were surprisingly comfortable, I had a edge seat in the highest nose bleed you can find. I managed to find cheap tickets and a seat straight up the stairs. I had plenty of leg room since I didn't have a seat totally in front of me. My parents seemed to enjoy their seats too. We were able to enjoy our Suns game without obstructions or drunks, there was a family-friendly vibe. My only complaint would be the audio quality of the speakers inside the main auditorium. I couldn't hear the calls given by the officials/refs at all. Additionally, some of the music sounded a little low. I enjoyed the Jumbotron, it was large and I could see most of the stats/game notes. Note: Mortgage Matchup is near plenty of eateries (CityScape, Italian, etc.) and is in the heart of Downtown Phoenix. There's a watch bar nearby too! 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

Stevie Nicks from the iconic musical group Fleetwood Mac put on an amazing solo performance in Phoenix, Arizona. Her vocal skills, stage presence and ability to connect with the crowd was amazing and a true testament to her longevity and why she is loved by so many. Playing to a packed house she sang many of her familiar songs we've grown accustomed to hearing, such as; Stand Back and Dreams. With a legendary voice and a music catalog which, spans over several decades she memorized concertgoers taking us back to when we first heard the songs. Without question, she is and has been one of my favorite artists whose music I thoroughly enjoy listening to. It was a great concert and one I will remember for years to come. Stevie Nicks upcoming concert in Las Vegas is slated for Saturday, October 11th, at T-Mobile Arena. Should you have the opportunity to see her, I highly recommend you do. read more

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

Growing up in the Phoenix area, I have gone to Mortgage Matchup Center on many occasions over the years to watch sporting events, concerts, and special events. I have fond memories of these events and the layout of the Mortgage Matchup Center. I've been in the lower level and in the nosebleed section. The staff who manage the Mortgage Matchup Center have a well-oiled complex which continues to evolve every year. Located in the heart of downtown Phoenix, Mortgage Matchup Center is one of the premier entertainment venues in the Southwest. This multi-purpose arena has hosted countless memorable moments since opening its doors in 1992, from championship basketball games to world-class concerts. The arena's central location makes it easily accessible for both locals and visitors. With over 17,000 seats, this location serves as a huge part of Phoenix's entertainment scene. From its distinctive purple lighting during sporting events to its impressive acoustics for concerts, every detail enhances your experience. Speaking of evolving, for 23 years I remember it only being the America West Arena and the US Airways Center after the airline merger. Since then, there are new names every 1-5 years from the Talking Stick Resort Arena to Phoenix Suns Arena to PHX Arena to Footprint Center before arriving to the current name. My favorite events over the years have been going to Phoenix Suns games, the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament when we hosted the Sweet 16 and Elite 8, and the George Strait concert which had Taylor Swift as an opener. All of these were great events that were well hosted over the years. Nearby are plenty of hotels, restaurants, and even the Arizona State University Downtown Phoenix Campus. Within the complex, there is accessible seating throughout, multiple elevators, family restrooms, and first aid stations. The cashless environment streamlines transactions, with reverse ATMs available if you need to convert cash to a prepaid card. There are also plenty of food, beverage, premium bars, and lounges within the Mortgage Matchup Center. I only wish I could have been there for the Mercury's WNBA championships won there or the two NBA All Star Games (with the next one scheduled in 2027). I'd certainly recommend that anyone visit the "Purple Palace" for an energized experience! read more

1/5 -- Absolutely unacceptable. My 65-year-old mother was EJECTED from Mortgage Matchup Center simply because she fell asleep during the event. She was not being loud, disruptive, or bothering anyone. Ironically, security caused the only disruption by making TWO ROWS of people in our front-row section move so they could escort her out. Even worse, her phone and belongings were left inside. When my family tried to bring them to her, security refused and threatened to kick us out too if we tried to help her. During the altercation, one of the men involved was incredibly rude to my mother and **spit on her**. I cannot believe a 65-year-old woman was treated with this level of disrespect over something as harmless as falling asleep. Completely humiliating, unnecessary, and disgusting treatment of an older woman. Mortgage Matchup Center should be ashamed of how this was handled. read more

I've been to this venue a few times and prior the name of it was PHX arena. I blink and it is now this hideous of a name for a venue, but ok whatever. We in the US will sell our soul to capitalism. With that negativity out of the way, let me tell you about the positives. This is a pretty good venue as the sound here is pretty clean, and feels most of the seats in the arena gives you a good view of whatever it is you have come to watch. Lighting and effects have been very good here. I never felt they were off and I am quite sensitive to light. I've seen an electrifying WBNA game here and had a great time. I was also here to see Duran Duran, a UK band from the 80s that really left an impression on my formative years. I just love their style of music, part melancholic, part synth pop, and all very cool. It was truly a trip down memory lane and I enjoyed the concert immensely. Nice large screens too so we could get close up the musicians too. Venue is well signed, lots of vendors here, completely overpriced food and drinks but it is what it is, like $25 for a draft beer? Bathroom lines move quickly and are clean. The big problem with this venue is the parking situation. It is definitely extortion if you want to park anywhere closeby, I refuse. I park about a 20 min walk away and get my steps in too. Overall, a nice venue and would come back again. Id just wish parking, food and drinks didnt cost you uour first born. read more

Different name. Same venue. What used to be PHX Arena, and was previously the Footprint Center, is now the Mortgage Matchup Center. It's the home of the Phoenix Suns and also various events like concerts and comedy shows. There are some things I like about this venue and some things I don't. Here's what I like: I've been to a good number of basketball venues in my day and this is a nice one. In terms of design. And also in terms of the food options. Arena/stadium food is always overpriced and often mediocre. Here, you have some good options. There's a burger joint called Gorilla Burgers I believe which far exceeded my expectations. Getting in and out of the venue is pretty seamless. All good things. On the flip side, it's located downtown so parking is a drag. You can pay too much for parking in a parking garage where you'll be paying event prices. You can look for parking on the street but most metered parking in downtown Phoenix charges until 10 p.m. (including weekends) which is pretty wild. Some areas are two hours only which isn't long enough for a sporting event or a concert. If you're able to swing free parking, it's probably going to be quite a ways away on foot. For concerts, they don't release set times. The vast majority of venues will reveal set times with you if you inquire. Not here for some reason, which is annoying. While there are definite pros and cons, the Mortgage Matchup Center brings in some big acts. I've seen quite a few shows here, in addition to a Suns game. Make sure you don't put PHX Arena into Google Maps! It'll take you to an address downtown which is somewhere else. Old habits die hard, Mortgage Matchup Center it is. 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 almost had the greatest concert experience I've ever had (Tame Impala 9/14/2026) ruined due to unruly security that would constantly and inconsistently yell at people to move to different standing area (5 feet difference, max). There were open seats that were allegedly reserved for people that were handicapped or people that could not stand for long periods of time. The issue was that none of the seats were labeled, the people that "paid for the seats" never showed, all of our tickets allowed for standing area, but we could not stand anywhere near the seats. Keep in mind, these were cheap foldable chairs not attached to the floor that could easily be moved around and were by surrounding people so that we could see the show better; have a better experience. Some people that were standing with us with the same issues ended up just sitting in the seats as if they paid for them and security left them alone. In conclusion, zero transparency for where people could and could not stand as seats were not labeled, unruly enforcement of rules although the people never showed, and inconsistent enforcement of said rules as well. 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

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

I've been here for concerts etc. first time at a PHX suns game since I was little. Sat in the nose bleed seats for a cheap last minute date night. They have lots of food options. Love that the new owner opted to have hot dogs and popcorn and canned Dasani water $2!! A great deal. They are sponsored by Jim beam and Hornitos has a bar. Really cool experience. read more

Great venue. First time there and my family and I loved it. The arena isn't too big so even the seats on the 2nd level have a great view for a more affordable price. They do a good job of keeping the fans entertained as well as have a decent spread of restaurants and even have a small food court that are open during the games. The drinks are expensive, but outside of that it was great. I would go and watch the Suns again for sure!!! read more
