The PHX Arena (formerly America West Arena, US Airways Center, Talking Stick Resort Arena, Phoenix Suns Arena and Footprint Center) is a multi-purpose arena in Phoenix, Arizona. It opened under the name America West Arena on June 6, 1992, at a cost of $89 million. It is the home arena of the Phoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association (NBA), the Phoenix Mercury of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) and the former home of the Indoor Football League's Arizona Rattlers. The ECHL's Phoenix Roadrunners also played there from 2005 until they ceased operations at the conclusion of the 2008–2009 season. Additionally, the National Hockey League (NHL)'s Phoenix Coyotes (Arizona Coyotes) played their first seven seasons at the arena following their arrival in Phoenix on July 1, 1996. Located one block away from Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks, the arena is 1 million square feet (93,000 m2) in size on an 11-acre (4.5 ha) site. These two major league sports venues are joined by State Farm Stadium and Desert Diamond Arena in the neighboring Phoenix suburb of Glendale, the home of the Arizona Cardinals and former home of the Arizona Coyotes.
