“Our agreement … with Footprint is something that we think is going to be one of the most unique corporate sponsorships in all of sports,” Sarver said during the announcement. Fans can expect to see food served in Footprint’s biodegradable, compostable and recyclable solutions along with messaging about switching from single-use plastic, according to a news release. The partnership includes product integration as well as naming rights. Pollstar box-office reports stretching back to its opening year of 1992 show 913 concerts and events averaging 7,641 tickets sold and a gross of $415,647. The Footprint Center has hosted concerts over the years by the likes of top artists like Frank Sinatra and Ariana Grande. The Coyotes now play at Gila River Arena in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale. The arena was also home to the NHL Phoenix - now Arizona - Coyotes from their first season in 1996-97 until they moved in late 2003. The arena recently completed a $230 million renovation. The tribal resort’s deal, signed in 2014, expired in November, and the name changed to Phoenix Suns Arena. The building was called America West Arena from its opening in 1992 through 2006 and has been known since as US Airways Center and Talking Stick Resort Arena.
Robert Sarver, managing partner of the NBA Suns and the WNBA Mercury, who also play at the arena, announced the deal Friday morning during a Zoom call with media members.
