GLENDALE — The Arizona Rattlers announced on Monday they will be moving their home arena to Glendale. The Rattlers will now be headquartered in Desert Diamond Arena, adjacent to the Westgate Entertainment District.
The team has played at the Footprint Center in downtown Phoenix since its inception in 1992.
The franchise has played several playoff games in at Desert Diamond Arena and has seen an incredible turnout at every game.
That includes a franchise record of well over 17,100 fans that packed the Snake Pit in Glendale in 2016.
“We’re thrilled to build this new relationship and for the move to Glendale,” Rattlers’ Owner Ron Shurts stated in a new release. “It’s going to be a great venue for us, and our fans love it out there. The Westgate district is incredible and the west side of town is now officially the Football Capital of Arizona. We’re proud to be front and center of Desert Diamond Arena and look forward to growing that relationship. Their staff has been tremendous to work with and we are excited for this new opportunity.”
The franchise will open its 31st season of Rattlers football in March 2024 at Desert Diamond Arena.
