It would have been helpful if there were traffic attendants at the light because this was what took us the longest. Make sure you arrive 1 hr early so you can get food and find your seats.

Took awhile to get thru once we passed the security check-in and were filtering down a few levels to get to the floor. Of course there were a ton of people and we were packed like sardines but the flow was smooth and people were patient. Once we got to our seats, we got situated and Leon Thomas was already midway as the opening act. There was a slight mixup as one chair, the "30th" seat was missing on our row and we ended up moving down one seat to our left as the group with the seating issue kept trying to figure it out. Some numbers were missing on our seats but mine was visible and we could verify where we were seated. Luckily, our seat neighbors were nice people and accommodating since there seemed to be an extra seat that was empty. When we first arrived, there were some people who sat near our seats that weren't supposed to be there but you know there's always one of those so they moved. It was fun and festive. The woman in front of us with her daughter was recording the whole time as well as the lone guy next to my cousin who was doing the same and singing to EVERY SONG, LOL!! Thankfully we never had to use the bathroom as we went during dinner right before the concert. There were Porta-Pottys on the floor level inside as your bathroom. Also, you couldn't take an actual canned drink inside. Attendants had you put them in a cup unless they weren't paying attention and you had your drink in your see-thru backpack like the guy in front of me walking in. Speaking of, you need to look at bag dimensions and restrictions prior to going to the events. I looked ahead of time and brought a clear, plastic purse within the allowed guidelines/dimensions. Acoustics were great, there was never a glitch, 2 large screens on the left and right of the stage were great for folks seated far away and were a great visual for close ups even for us. Security was effective and checkpoints at the entrances went smoothly. It was a bit crazy getting out of the stadium but we got out. Getting out of the parking lot was another story. It was a long, log-jam and some vehicles were impatient and nearly hitting other vehicles just to get in the line to get out! I think the parking guides and traffic monitors could've done better in an orderly and streamlined fashion. In any case, we had fun and luckily people inside were nice and courteous. This was my 2nd concert at this stadium and am well-pleased with the ambiance. It was just the parking lot situation that needs to be more efficient. Hopefully they worked it out the next evening since Bruno played 2 nights here.

This used to be one of my favorite ballparks to visit, but my recent experience was disappointing…read more Attendance was very light in my section, and I intentionally paid extra for better seats so I could enjoy the game with an unobstructed view. After the second inning, however, the section began filling up with people who appeared to be moving into upgraded seats without anyone checking tickets. I continued to check the app throughout the game, and all of those seats still showed as available for purchase. People were constantly moving in and out of seats between innings, making it obvious there was little to no enforcement. If this is how seating is managed, there's really no reason to spend extra money on premium tickets. You may be better off buying the cheapest seat available and simply moving to a better section after the game starts. Unfortunately, it also seemed like many staff members were more focused on socializing and eating in the stands than monitoring seating areas or addressing the issue. Overall, the experience left me feeling like paying extra for better seats was a waste of money.

Every time I've gone there, getting through security was pretty quick, and the arena was clean. We were very early, so we grabbed food on the second floor in the food court. We both got the Courtside Classic pizza from Spinato's, as well as canned Dasani water. I'm glad the venue added a more affordable option for drinking water. The pizza was hot and fresh. The Team Shop had a lot of shirts on sale, and we bought a couple. It was fan appreciation night as well, so each seat had a free XL purple Suns T-shirt. The halftime show was an exciting duo that performed some dangerous moves! We left the game with about 5 minutes left on the shot clock to beat traffic (lesson learned from the last time I left at the end of the game and got stuck in the parking garage for a long time). On our walk out, one of the crew handed me a free T-shirt! It was one of the shirts they throw or shoot out of the cannon. We had a lot of fun, and I'm so glad my mom had a great experience here.

A relative is a Season-Ticket holder so I was invited to watch what would be my 2nd NBA game ever watched, LOL! Since I'm a Warriors fan, it was a dream come true. Plus a friend flew in from Hawaii just to see the match so we were both in Heaven!! I was so giddy when we arrived and in anticipation of the game. We had Valet parking and went thru a door and downstairs to the upscale & bougie Annexus Social Club. Big screens all over, free drinks and a nice buffet ranging from Sushi, Oysters, Prawns, Lobster, Crab Claws, Pastas, Charcuterie Boards, Desserts, Fruit/Salads, Popcorn & Snack area w/Canned drinks to bring to the arena. I was too excited to eat but did order some Rum & Cokes that I was able to bring to the floor. I was told to leave at the 2-minute mark before the half and before the game was over so we could hit the bathroom, bar, for more food and to get a table if not at the bar. At gametime, I found my seats and was on the 2nd row on the Warriors side(YAY!!!) below the basket! Dream come true and found myself just amazed, watching the team just feet away, saw myself on the Jumbotron and later on my friends and relatives said they saw me on TV during a closeup with the ref & Suns' player, LOL!! Seats were ample and we got free Suns t-shirts which were laid out on our seat-backs. Ambiance, food, experience even the bathrooms were well-kept. Valet parking helped vs. trying to get out of a large parking lot. Stellar experience and Jasmine, our bartender!!

I had only previously been in this arena for NHL Coyotes hockey. One minus is that Westgate shopping center charges $15 for parking during concerts and other big events at the arena. However, if you buy something at Westgate and give them the parking receipt, they will remove the $15 from your bill. My friends enjoy happy hour prices at Bar Louie right across from the entrance to the area arena and get the $15 of their bill. I prefer to simply park slightly farther out by the Outlets and walk. I also find it saves time leaving after the concert also. The closer $15 parking lots do not have workers after the concert helping to make the traffic flow efficiently. It took over 20 minutes for them to get out of the lot nearest the stadium.

It was about the perfect amount of activity for us as we got to try each of the activities once. There's about 8 active games including a batting game, tennis game, QB throw, field goal kick, boxing, skiing, soccer and more. Most of the games have a scoreboard that will display your score and have the top scores of the all time, weekly and daily. It's fun to see your name up on the scoreboard even when your score may be pretty brutal compared to the all-time greats. The staff was very helpful in checking us in and letting us know how each game works. There's a few games that are pretty simple and others that require some setting up (like getting boots and strapped in for the skiing. I enjoyed the QB throw the most but it looked like the bouncy basketball court was the most popular while we were there. We went on the Friday night and it wasn't very crowded...only have to wait maybe 5 minutes for any activity to open up. The place was pretty clean except I did notice they didn't spray down to clean the batting helmets after each person...that was kind of gross to put on the helmet and feel some sogginess. This may be a fun place for holding a birthday party for kids as they have ice cream, cereal and party rooms overlooking the area. For me it's probably a one and done visit, but we need more places like this where kids and families and have some good indoor activities besides bounce parks.

It is geared towards children, however there were plenty of adults living out their pro sports aspirations. We paid $33 for 59 points (per person) with the All Star package. They gave us an hour time slot to use our points, but we ended up leaving 1.5 hours in with about 20 points left each on our accounts. It's pretty hard to spend your points and you have a time factor with waiting in (short) lines. We tried out their different sports activities to include a field goal simulation, batting cage, NFL combine relay, tennis, and even alpine skiing. Certain activities are solo but others you can compete as a team or 1 on 1. Some things to keep in mind: it's an indoor facility full of sweaty kids-so there's definitely an odor. There's a lot of items like baseball bats, baseball gloves, and helmets that everyone uses. I didn't see any hand sanitizer nor did I see employees sanitizing equipment. Some of the technology was malfunctioning and that impacted scoring, I witnessed numerous groups grow frustrated at the quarterback target practice simulation and the tennis game. There's a cafe inside and also tables to view or rest if you need a break. Looking closer at the facility I suspect they have a special area to host children's birthday parties. Overall, this is a fun spot for sports lovers of all ages!

My seat was also good even though it was far back with all of the projections you could see everything. I got a last minute ticket to see Florence & the Machine. My friend and I wanted to grab a bite and a drink prior to the show so we showed up super early but despite a million restaurants around almost every spot had a super long wait. When we finally got in to the arena they had very limited food selections -- quite disappointing actually -- and WAAAAAY over priced!! For a titos and soda (double so I didn't have to keep going back) it was almost $40!!! I spent more $$ on food and drink then I did on the tickets -- that really seems wrong. We ended up with seats on a special club level which was super nice because the seats were very comfy and the bathrooms were so nice and clean and close by -- so that was a major plus. The place was a madhouse (the whole Westgate area) we ended up leaving before encore because we took a Lyft and wanted to make sure we didn't have to wait a million years to get one out of there. Plus that part was really confusing where to drop and pick one up for Lyft/Uber -- but we finally made it out. Next time I will drive as parking seems a plenty (for a price but still less than I paid for a lyft there and back)

There's quite a few tenants in the Westgate center that have disappeared. The arena itself is getting quite antiquated. It's a typical oval/hexagonal shape so there's a lot of walking if you don't enter near your seating section. The worst part is there's not many options to get to the 2nd level (which is really about the 4th level). I took the stairs (no escalator or elevator in sight) just after injuring my knee and it was a painful climb of about 75 stairs. The upper seating section is also quite small and cramped.
