America West Arena

Pros: Relatively clean, good views from most places, good variety of food, good restroom facilities, easy parking exits
Cons: Expensive, tiny seating areas

When America West Arena staged its first event in 1992, I was there up in the nosebleed section 228, second row from the top. It was a Metallica concert. Since then many events have been staged in this downtown arena, including numerous concerts, arena...

Pros: gets loud, tight-packed atmosphere, fun, you can see just perfectly from the last row
Cons: tickets can be expensive

America West Arena can only hold 16,000 for basketball games, and only 12,000 for hockey games, but the place sure does rock when games are tight. Last year, I went to game 7 of the Coyotes matchup with the St. Louis Blues. I could swear that my ears...

Pros: Entertainment from beginning to end...
Cons: A bit chilly if you forget your gloves...!

Two days in Phoenix, and Monet was in town. What better way to limber up for an art exhibition than to watch ten grown men mash each other's faces against perspex screens?

This was our first NHL game, and we just weren't prepared for the...

Pros: Colorful Surroundings, Comfortable Seats, Great Views,
Cons: Ticket Prices, Food, Hard to Navigate Through Seats at Times.

Pros: Great price, great food, nd at place!!
Cons: Slightly obstucted veiw from the balcony.

A couple weeks ago I got home from a trip to Arizona(see my epinions on Sedona and Scotsdale). When we were there I noticed that game 3 of the Coyotes and Avalanche series was home.

So I called and got nice easy tickets over the phone. For...

Pros: Atmosphere, accommodations, parking, entertainment
Cons: I love this place!

This is one of the greatest places to enjoy a basketball game - especially if the Phoenix Suns are on the court! The AWA is fabulous, from it's intense purple decor, to the incredible sound system blaring all kinds of pump it up music, to the clean and...

Pros: Clean, spacious halls and restrooms, good variety of concessions, good views of the game from most location, variety of entertainment, informative scoreboards

When America West Arena staged its first event in 1992, I was there up in the nosebleed section 228, second row from the top. It was a Metallica...

Pros: location, modern facility
Cons: limited obstructed views

America west arena is very good place to see a game unless your are one of the unlucky fans that has to sit in front of one of the few structural pillars that blocks your view of the action partially.

When I first can to see america west arena...

Pros: It's all about ACCESS!
Cons: none

I have seen a few basketball games at the America West Arena in Phoenix, Arizona. Most recently, I watched the Suns beat the Charlotte Hornets at the AWA. I hadn't been to the arena in a while and on this last visit, I drove there myself, which I had...

Pros: good plush seats, at angles so everyone can see well
Cons: a bit small

I went to a preseason game of the Suns against the 76ers. The view was pretty good for a $50 ticket. I was sitting on the 26th row on the lower level near the southeast corner. It was pretty easy to get into the building, but if you want to get out...

Pros: Park close Nice atmosphere
Cons: Ticket availability

Being from Jersey i want used to not being able to by or scalp tickets at a decent price especially mid way through the first. I was out in Arizona with my cousins and we get to the stadium 25 minutes before the game . We went up to the booth and there...

Pros: great arena, decent food
Cons: no fan support, pricey tickets

I recently saw the Mavericks beat the Suns here and I must say I was surprised at the level of quality that the arena had. I really enjoyed the game there, but the fans at this plaec are weak. No one was cheering. I feel that fan support makes a...

Pros: spacious, clean, nice, parking
Cons: food!

This stadium rocks!! AWA is amazing, it's spacious, livley, and it's located in a beautiful part of Arizona. I went to go see an NBA game, the Chicago Bulls vs the Pheonix Suns. I payed 48 bucks for my seat, and I could see the whole floor from a great...

Pros: Good court view
Cons: close seating

We recently attended a WNBA game at America West Arena. Our seats were way up high. From this perspective, I had a few observations about the arena.

First, the rows are extremely narrow. It is very difficult to get to your seat if someone...

Pros: Nice views from any seat,and nice atmosphere.
Cons: Loud,Noisy,cramped,and sometimes the fans get emotional

As a fan of the Phoenix Suns i can tell you the arena is packed tight all year and it tends to get a little louder (especially if the spurs or the lakers are in town) The food is just like any other average arena trying to get you to come back and buy ...
