History
In 1988 Phoenix Suns owner Jerry Colangelo recognized the need to replace the old ‘Madhouse on McDowell.’ His vision was realized with the June 1, 1992 opening of America West Arena.

The building is where the NBA’s Phoenix Suns, the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury and the ECHL’s Phoenix Roadrunners all call home. The Phoenix Coyotes (NHL) played here before moving to Glendale Arena.

With soaring glass walls, a 12×20 foot video screen and over 14,000 square feet of indoor space, the new Pavilion creates a grand entrance to the "all-new" US Airways Center that leaves a lasting impression on all guests.

In 2006 the name of the arena was changed to US Airways Center after the merger of US Airways and America West.
