Why track Footprint Center attendance?
If your stub says America West Arena, US Airways Center, Talking Stick Resort Arena, Phoenix Suns Arena, PHX Arena, or Mortgage Matchup Center, that is this same Phoenix building — not a different barn. Footprint Center is one printed name among those. Suns nights belong on the Phoenix Suns game tracker; Mercury nights belong on the Phoenix Mercury game tracker.
Six earlier printed names all point at this same Phoenix room. Ticket Timeline matches America West, US Airways, Talking Stick, Phoenix Suns Arena, PHX Arena, and Mortgage Matchup Center tickets to the Suns and Mercury games you actually attended.
- Track Suns (NBA) and Mercury (WNBA) games you personally attended at the same building.
