The Phoenix Suns and Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community announced today their plans to officially reveal Talking Stick Resort Arena at the Suns first preseason game on Wednesday, October 7. The two parties will celebrate the arena’s new name with a pregame event on the plaza at Talking Stick Resort Arena that evening.
The naming rights agreement for the downtown venue is a multi-year deal that builds substantially on the existing agreement between the two parties. The name change will be visible throughout the facility, with Talking Stick Resort Arena being prominent on the exterior of the building; on the underbelly of the center hung scoreboard; on the arena’s rooftop; and featured on the Suns and Mercury basketball courts.
