PHOENIX - Mat Ishbia continues to redefine the fan experience with the announcement of an immersive LED display coming to the exterior of Mortgage Matchup Center this fall. Measuring 226 feet wide by 41 feet tall, the 9,266-square-foot installation will create a striking new visual centerpiece spanning the arena's plaza entrance, making Mortgage Matchup Center the only NBA/WNBA arena with a transparent display of this size and setting a new benchmark in sports and entertainment venues.
"We want everyone who visits Mortgage Matchup Center to have a memorable experience, and that starts the moment they arrive," said Ishbia. "We're creating a place where fans can come together for the biggest moments in sports and entertainment, and our new LED display gives us a powerful new platform to celebrate the Suns and Mercury, connect with our community and engage with our fans."
The new display will reimagine the plaza as a vibrant stage for sports, entertainment and shared experiences, bringing the biggest moments to life on a massive scale. Fans will be able to gather for outdoor watch parties, relive highlights and clips, and see Suns, Mercury and entertainment content unfold across the entire façade of the entrance. From game day to concerts and special events, the display will make the exterior of Mortgage Matchup Center a year-round destination for fans to gather, connect and experience the biggest moments together.
Spanning the entirety of the plaza entrance, the transparent mesh LED display is integrated behind the glass paneling, allowing natural light to flow into the pavilion while maintaining views of downtown Phoenix. The LED panels on either side of the center display can operate independently or seamlessly combine with the center display to create one continuous visual experience. Featuring over 17 million pixels and a 60 frames-per-second refresh rate, the display will deliver crystal-clear content, creating dynamic visuals that engage fans and enhance brand visibility for partners.
OneRevel designed and engineered the display and supported the project's systems integration and installation. The display features advanced LED technology from Absen, a global leader in LED display solutions.
The new videoboard is the latest example of Ishbia's commitment to putting fans first and delivering a best-in-class experience at every touchpoint. That commitment spans the entire fan journey, from the NBA and WNBA's most affordable $2 value menu and elevated culinary offerings through OVG Hospitality to innovative bowl lighting and premium experiences like the FanDuel Lounge, M Club by BMW and The Ra Ra Room, the first-ever members-only dining club in a sports and entertainment venue. It also extends beyond the arena through the groundbreaking media rights partnership with Gray Media, making the Suns and Mercury the first NBA/WNBA teams to broadcast games free over the air and the first to sign a long-term extension.
Mortgage Matchup Center is a premier destination for sports, entertainment and unforgettable live experiences, attracting more than 2.5 million fans each year. Since opening its doors in 1992, the arena has hosted some of the world's most celebrated events. In 2027, Mortgage Matchup Center will host fans from around the world for NBA All-Star, marking the fourth time Phoenix has hosted the NBA's marquee event.
