Desert Financial Arena’s (Formerly Wells Fargo Arena) accessible seating is located on the interior concourse level of the arena. One additional guest may accompany the guest in this area. To assure accessible seating for all who need to be accommodated, we ask that other guests be seated in the rows directly in front of the accessible seating areas. Download the
