Footprint Center Seating Chart

Footprint Center is home to the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury and a frequent stop for major arena tours. The downtown arena was renovated in 2021 with a wider concourse, modernized clubs, and a center-hung scoreboard upgrade.

Sections at Footprint Center

The Footprint Center chart lists 4 main sections, and the one on your ticket does most of the deciding — price, distance, and view included. Scan the list before you buy, keeping in mind that the event type reshuffles the room: concerts, games, and private buyouts each open different parts of the house.

  • 100s — lower bowl, rows A-Z
  • Theater Boxes — sideline four-person boxes between lower and upper bowls
  • 200s — upper bowl with steeper rake
  • Suites and Loft level

Best seats at Footprint Center

Sections 109-110 are baseline behind the Suns bench. For concerts, the 200-level corners are the value play — closer to the stage end than most upper-bowl sections.

Tips before you go

The arena clear-bag policy is enforced strictly. The closest light-rail stop is Roosevelt/Central — most fans skip the lots and take light rail from Tempe or the airport.

How to read the Footprint Center seating chart

Start with the shape of the room: 18,055 seats in a bowl that wraps a central court, rink, or stage, split into 4 sections — 100s, Theater Boxes, 200s, and Suites and Loft level. Your ticket names exactly one of them, and that name is worth reading twice, because neighboring sections can differ by a full level, a price tier, or which side of the room you face from.

Three things decide a Footprint Center seat: how close you are to the floor, whether you face the action square on or from a baseline, and how high you sit. Two sections apart — say Suites and Loft level and 100s — can put you a level higher, a price tier over, or on the far side of the Phoenix venue, so which one is the value sweet spot comes down to the event and your budget; the best-seats notes above call it for Footprint Center. Match your ticket to the official Footprint Center map — section, row, and seat — before you buy.

Sizewise, Footprint Center holds 18,055, which puts it 2nd of 9 Arizona venues in this guide: Chase Field (48,686) is the next size up, Desert Diamond Arena (17,000) the next size down.

Full capacity runs to 18,055, but a private block is almost always a club, a suite, or a banquet room — a scale the maker below covers comfortably with dinner rounds, program rows, and head tables where you need them.
