Great fun and got to witness some history, always worth it DT IS THE 🐐
My wife and I had an exceptional time. Go Mercury!
Whenever I am at a Mercury game, I feel at home with many knowledgeable people about basketball, especially the Mercury team! Great atmosphere!
The game was exciting but I really loved how they engaged with the fans the entire way.
The arena was electrifying! We got two wins in a row!! I believe we still have a chance to make the playoffs if we continue to have fewer turnovers, box out, and not give up second-chance shots! Mighty Mercury, we can be number one again!!
My sister and I were so excited to attend a Mercury game! We had so much fun! The arena was nice and clean. The cherry on top was our team winning!
The atmosphere was electrifying! I could feel a win would happen as I entered the arena. When Skylar returns after the All-Star Weekend, lookout Aces, here we come! Let's go, Mighty Mercury!!
Latino night was my first time going to a Mercury game. It was amazing! The vibe, the inclusion, and atmosphere was awesome! I will definitely return
As always, The Mercury put on a great GameDay experience: pregame, during, and post!
Great game, super seats. Loved the energy in the arena. We will be back.
This LA fan could not have been more excited to see the Mercury in person, too. I can exhale now that I’ve seen BG in person, thriving and what a fantastic game she had, too. The arena was packed with a cheering and enthusiastic crowd. I am so glad I came to this game. And, it’s a really nice arena as well. Very impressed.
Superstars Brittney Griner, Diana Taurasi and the Mercury crew did not come to play with the L.A. Sparks. They wanted this win, they needed this win, and win they did. Loved every second of this game, so much fun and excitement down to the last second. It was so awesome to see my South Carolina babies Henny Henderson and Zia Cooke play live! Along with the gorgeous Ogumike sisters and both teams. Definitely will be back. Let's pack this Footprint Center, Phoenix, so we can get these superstars the salaries they truly deserve!!
I love going to Phoenix Mercury games and other sporting and concerts at footprint center because of the great energy and atmosphere. The sound system is amazing and the people who work there are kind and helpful. Footprint center is easy to get to as the light rail is right there and free to ride. I highly recommend going there for any events that interest you in the future.
If you love basketball, these WNBA games are so fun to watch. The energy on and off the court is great and they are way less crazy than NBA games. Plenty of food and drink options inside the stadium. And the dance team was the best!
Seats were great,I love the atmosphere, I enjoyed a great night experience downtown
Great seats, great atmosphere, good ball overall! 5/5
It was a great time!!! Would absolutely love to do it again.
Thoroughly enjoy watching the Mercury play. They had entertainment at half time which was nice. Last game we attended 2 weeks prior was rather dead as there were no dancers, no half time entertainment no tee shirts thrown to crowd. A bit improved this time even though they lost
It was so much fun there . Lot of energy and beautiful arena .
