Member Review - D.J. Fluck of Stadium Scene

A lot of modern amenities, and a wide variety of food and drink choices available throughout the upper and lower concourses.  Be sure to check out the patio before the game as Phoenix is one of the few cities where you can enjoy a beer outdoors during the winter!  

Good parking options around the stadium, but be prepared to pay $15-30 depending on how far away you are. 

Stadium Information

About PHX Arena:

Opened in 1992, this is the home of the Phoenix Suns (NBA) and Phoenix Mercury (WNBA).  It has undergone several name changes over the years from airline sponsorship, casinos, a recycling company, but it is now currently just PHX Arena as of March 2025.  It's likely just a temporary name until the next sponsorship deal is announced.

Tour Info:

There doesn't appear to be any public tour offerings at this time.

Security Screenings:

Like almost all US and Canadian Stadiums, you will need to enter through a metal detector before entering the stadium.  Be sure to give yourself extra time and don't bring any weapons or devices that could be seen as a weapon inside.  Pat down searches may be required.

Bag Policy:

Bags, backpacks, briefcases, duffle bags larger than 14"x 14"x 6" are prohibited.  All bags subject to search before entry.

Note: Bag and security policy listed above are for typical sporting events. Special events, concerts, and other situations may result in variation to the policy. Please check event website for any changes or variation.

Parking & Transportation

Parking Options

Garages around the arena and parking lot.

We're setting up a partnership with a new parking company. Stay tuned for more details!

Bus Service:

No bus service available, so use light rail service.

Rail Service:

Metro Light Rail offers a stop one block west of Chase Field at 3rd Street/Jefferson. Consider using one of the many park and ride options located along the route

Taxi & Rideshare Service:

Numerous taxi services serve the valley, but there does not appear to be a dedicated taxi stand at the arena.

Closest Major Airport: Phoenix Skyharbor International Airport (PHX)
