Mortgage Matchup Center is set to unveil a 9,266-square-foot transparent LED display on the arena’s exterior this fall, creating what the teams say will be the largest transparent display of its kind at an NBA or WNBA arena. This endeavor won’t just be for aesthetics, but also another way to enhance the fan experience that owner Mat Ishbia has made a priority since arriving in the Valley.
The 226-foot-wide, 41-foot-tall screen will cover the arena’s plaza entrance and turn the space into a year-round gathering point for fans. It will be used for outdoor watch parties, game highlights, team content, concerts and special events.
The addition gives fans another reason to spend time around the arena before and after events, rather than treating the plaza simply as a path to the doors.
“We want everyone who visits Mortgage Matchup Center to have a memorable experience, and that starts the moment they arrive,” Ishbia said in a press release.
The project is the latest in a series of investments under Ishbia aimed at improving the fan experience, from new food options and premium spaces to upgraded arena lighting and expanded entertainment offerings. With more than 2.5 million people visiting the arena each year, the teams are betting that the plaza can become an attraction in its own right.

“We’re creating a place where fans can come together for the biggest moments in sports and entertainment,” Ishbia said. “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.”
BIG VISION. EVEN BIGGER SCREEN. 🔥
Mat Ishbia’s vision for transforming the fan experience continues with the largest exterior LED display on an NBA / WNBA arena!
