Desert Diamond Arena

Desert Diamond Arena opened in 2003 as the Coyotes’ home and now functions mainly as a concert and event venue. Without a full-time NHL schedule, music has become a larger part of the building’s identity, making it an important west-valley alternative to downtown Phoenix.

Desert Diamond Arena is a car-oriented venue beside Westgate in Glendale. Reserve parking before the show and approach from the Loop 101 side that matches your lot. Leaving Westgate traffic after a large concert can take time, so do not plan a tight connection afterward.

Desert Diamond Arena's published event details and guest-services page are the final authority for bags. Concert rules can differ from sports or festival setups, so verify the current size limit and prohibited-items list before packing.

Westgate Entertainment District is immediately outside, so plan to eat there rather than driving elsewhere between parking and doors. This is still a car-oriented part of Glendale. Reserve parking and expect heavy traffic around Loop 101 after large shows.
