About this venue
Mullett Arena is a modern arena in Tempe, designed as a compact and functional venue for sports events, concerts, and other live programs. Unlike large stadiums, its advantage is a more intimate capacity of around 5,000 seats, keeping the audience close to the ice, the stage, and the energy of the event.
Inside, the arena focuses on clear sightlines, solid acoustics, and quick access to essential amenities. Visitors can expect contemporary seating, practical concourses, food and beverage areas, and an atmosphere where both games and concerts feel direct, lively, and immersive.
The venue is located at 400 E Rio Salado Pkwy, Tempe, United States. Access to the entrances is convenient thanks to nearby parking areas and campus garages, while event-day signage around the arena helps guide visitors to the correct approach.

About the city
Tempe, a city in the state of Arizona, stands out as a lively center for entertainment, sports, concerts, and urban events in the greater Phoenix area. Thanks to its university energy, arenas, stadiums, and developed dining scene, the city offers a practical combination of events and stays in one place. Tempe is especially attractive to visitors who want to combine tickets for a concert, game, or show with a relaxed city experience, without the need for long distances between accommodation, restaurants, and the main entertainment zones.
Transportation connectivity is one of the city’s greatest strengths. Tempe is served by Valley Metro Rail, the regional light rail system that connects Phoenix, Tempe, and Mesa, while Tempe Streetcar further simplifies movement through key city districts and event areas. An important transport point is the Tempe Transportation Center, which is connected with local and regional bus routes, and for arrivals by air the most important airport is Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Because of this transport network, reaching arenas, stadiums, and concert venues in Tempe and the surrounding area is simple whether using public transport, taxi, rideshare, or a private car.
Before or after an event, Tempe offers enough content for a pleasant extended stay. A walk along Tempe Town Lake, a night out in the Mill Avenue District, or a visit to the city center brings a combination of restaurants, bars, shops, and Arizona’s recognizable desert atmosphere. The area around the lake and bridges stands out in particular, where the city rhythm easily blends with relaxed views of the water and nearby hills. Tempe is therefore an excellent choice for visitors who want the event to be the main reason for coming, but not the only experience of the trip.
