Desert Diamond Arena recently released details of its $42 million transformation from a traditional sports arena into a “music mecca” and entertainment destination, spotlighting that Glendale is a major entertainment and sports hubs in the western United States.
Spearheaded by ASM Global in collaboration with U.K.-based Forward Associates and design firm HOK, known for arena and stadium remodels, officials said in a press release the project will position Desert Diamond Arena as a destination for concerts, events and immersive experiences.
Renovations are set for completion in spring 2025. The transformation will be executed by 23 local trade partners employing more than 500 local tradespeople.
The reimagination is part of a broader vision to elevate the Desert Diamond Arena and its surrounding 250-acre entertainment complex, which includes State Farm Stadium, 13 hotels, the Westgate Entertainment District and Desert Diamond Casino.
Debuting in December 2003 as the home of the Arizona Coyotes, the arena is set to continue its legacy for exceptional music, entertainment and sports experiences.
“With state-of-the-art amenities, reimagined suites and expanded programming on par with the newest venues nationwide, we’re delivering unforgettable experiences that drive economic growth, attract top-tier events and fuel local businesses," stated Glendale City Manager Kevin Phelps in a press release.
Doug Thornton, ASM Global executive vice president, arenas, stadiums and theaters, said the transformation celebrates Desert Diamond Arena’s two decades while creating a destination.
The arena has a seating capacity of 19,000 for concert events, 53 luxury suites and 12 suite lounge loges. Upon the project’s completion, the arena will also feature 22 Encore Club theatre boxes, 14 Club 623 studio booths and 341 club seats in The View.
