Opened in 2003 and managed by Legends Global, Desert Diamond Arena is a state-of-the-art multi-purpose indoor venue. Located as the primary entertainment anchor inside the Westgate Entertainment District—directly adjacent to State Farm Stadium—the arena hosts major touring concert acts, indoor football (home of the Arizona Rattlers), professional bull riding, comedy tours, and family shows. Featuring multi-level concourses, luxury suites, and high-tech sound/lighting integration, it draws over one million visitors annually.
100% Cashless Venue: All concessions, retail stores, bars, and box office transactions accept credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay only. Cash is not accepted.
Clear Bag Policy: Strictly enforced. Guests may bring one clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag up to 12″ x 6″ x 12″ or a small clutch purse up to 4.5″ x 6.5″.
Box Office: Located on the northeast corner between Gates 4 and 5. Opens three hours prior to showtime on event days (closed on non-event days).
There is limited metered street parking and some other lots around the venue that offer paid parking. Paid parking fills up quickly, so we recommend using Light Rail, Rideshare, or other transportation when possible.

Rideshare: Designated rideshare pick-up/drop-off zones operate along 93rd Avenue and Maryland Avenue on event days.
