Summary
About the Arena
The Talking Stick Resort Arena, previously known as US Airways Center and America West Arena, is situated in downtown Phoenix at 301 W. Jefferson. This venue serves as the home for the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury basketball teams. Additionally, the Arizona Rattlers host their arena football games here. The arena also accommodates numerous concerts, events, and family performances. Notably, for concerts, the stage is typically positioned on the north side of the floor, with extra seating added in the center.
The Box Office is conveniently located at the main entrance of the Talking Stick Resort Arena. Opting to purchase tickets at the Box Office can help to decrease the overall price due to the elimination of some online service charges. Valley Metro Rail is an efficient way to reach the Box Office.
A significant $70 million expansion and improvement project occurred at the Talking Stick Resort Arena in 2004. The previously outdoor ticket office has been redesigned and is now enclosed within a 14,000 square foot Casino Arizona Pavilion, serving as an attractive entrance embellished with a 12 × 20 foot video wall. An outdoor attraction on the east side, the Dos Equis Beer Garden, features a versatile entertainment venue that is covered by a football field-length canopy. This area is equipped with cutting-edge sound and video projection systems, alongside the luxurious Dos Equis Beer Garden bar and facilities, which double as television studios for Suns broadcasts and as a stage for musical performances. Moreover, 87 luxury suites and six party suites are available across two mid-level concourses. The parking facilities include a 900-space garage adjacent to the arena, complemented by a nearby 1,500-space garage.
