I gotta tell you that watching this footage of construction for the newly remodeled Talking Stick Resort Arena got me hyped for the next season!
Yes I know we have no clue when the new season will even start, and yes I know they’re still not a playoff team, but damn this arena is going to be SLICK.
Movie theater lighting. Larger, all-black seats. New floor. Center video board that’s six times larger than the old one, and it’s even in HD this time!
My buddy just bought a new club-level season ticket package and was given a tour of renovations. He shared his video footage with me so I could share it with you!
The quality is great — much better than a Zapruder or Blairwitch video! — so sit back a few minutes and enjoy the show.
If you’ve seen the promo videos of what the arena will look like in the future, this video here is a great as-its-being-built version where you can see the future come to life.
Biggest takeaways:
- Dark theater lighting, like the Staples Center does (Devin Booker’s request)
- seats are all replaced and are bigger (slightly)
- there will be a new court, but no design released as of yet
- lots of entertainment options
- great new locker room
Finally, the Suns will have one of the best arenas in the NBA again!
