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

Footprint Center's seating bowl is organized into the following main sections. Section layout differs by event — a sports configuration and a concert configuration of the same arena are not the same chart.

  • 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

Footprint Center seats 18,055 in a bowl that wraps a central court, rink, or stage, so reading the chart starts at center and works outward. The lower bowl rings the floor closest to the action; a club or suite level sits in the middle; the upper bowl climbs above for the widest view. Lower-number sections sit nearest the action, and whether you are along a sideline or behind a baseline changes the view as much as the level does.

Three things decide an 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. For an arena this size, the value sweet spot is usually the first few rows of the upper tier at center — close enough to read the play, cheap enough to justify, and high enough for the full picture. For a concert the stage usually sits at one end, so cross-check the official Footprint Center map against your ticket before you buy: a seat that's perfect for a game can sit behind the stage for a show.

Building a seating chart for an event at Footprint Center

Hosting a suite night, a group outing, or a private event in the Phoenix area? A seating chart keeps the group organized before you ever reach the gates. Map your party onto tables that mirror the suite or section layout, assign each guest a spot, and export a PDF so everyone knows where they sit. For a private event in a banquet space near Footprint Center, the same tool lays out rounds, banquet tables, and head tables, then prints a chart the venue's event-services team can work from. Capacity at Footprint Center runs to 18,055 for its main configuration, but most private events use a fraction of that in a club, suite, or adjacent hospitality space — exactly the scale the maker below is built for.
