Footprint Center is committed to providing every guest with a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

GETTING TO FOOTPRINT CENTER

Footprint Center is located in downtown Phoenix at 201 East Jefferson Street. The light rail offers accessible and affordable transportation options for any guest.

In partnership with METRO light rail, Footprint Center and the Phoenix Suns have established the “Rail Ride Event” program, which allows guests who purchase a ticket to an event at the arena to ride METRO light rail at no additional cost, on the day of the event.

Bus Stops and Light Rail Stations – All are on accessible routes to and from Footprint Center.

DROP-OFF LOT

If you are looking to purchase tickets on non-event days, you can park at the Footprint Center parking garage or pull into a metered spot just west of the building on both sides of 1st Street. Remember that this is metered parking and citations are issued if the meter expires.

If you need to drop someone off the day of an event, you can do so just south of Jefferson, on 3rd Street. There is a green curb that allows your passenger to enter through the east side entrance. If you are dropping off someone to pick up tickets at Will Call, you can drop them off on 1st Street in the pullout located between Madison and Jefferson Streets. This is a drop off zone only; vehicles are subject to citations if they are parked there or are left unattended.

Bus Stops and Light Rail Stations – All are on accessible routes to and from Footprint Center.

ACCESSIBLE PARKING

For your convenience, if the accessible parking at any of these garages is full, a sign will be posted before you enter to inform you in advance. Hopefully, this helps you quickly determine if you need to seek out another garage.

You can explore parking options and pre-purchase parking passes based on the event location below:

• For events at Chase Field
• For events at Footprint Center

Keep in mind that the parking passes sold are for general parking and not specifically accessible parking. Again, this means that early arrival is always recommended.

If you have a parking placard or plate that allows you to use an accessible parking space and you do not need an access aisle for a wheelchair, scooter or walker, please consider using a standard space that is close to the entrances or elevators. Though all of our parking garages have more than the number of accessible spaces required by the ADA, the demand for these routinely exceeds the number available. This helps those who really need an access aisle to transfer from their vehicle to a mobility device.

ACCESSIBLE FEATURES FOR GUESTS WITH DISABILITIES

Important considerations when choosing your seating:

• If you are able/prefer to get out of your wheelchair or scooter, we can store your mobility device in the Guest Services Office and provide a Wheelchair Escort to your seat.
• If you choose to keep your device with you and transfer from your wheelchair or scooter, it cannot block the accessible path of any other guests, and cannot be left on the concourse.
• If you have difficulty navigating stairs but do not need a wheelchair accessible location, we have seats that do not require steps and allow 3 (or maybe more) companions to sit right next to you, based on availability. These are in Row 20 of the main concourse and Row 2 in the upper concourse.

FAMILY RESTROOMS
