The Phoenix Suns NBA franchise has partnered with FanDuel to launch a new members-only lounge set to debut on October 14 for the Suns’ first home preseason game, spanning 6,000 sq ft with an outdoor terrace, full-service kitchen and packaged food & beverage marketplace.
“We are always looking for new ways to add value for our dedicated season ticket members,” Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury CEO Josh Bartelstein said.
“The FanDuel Lounge is another investment in our membership experience and provides a premium space for all members to enjoy together on gamedays.”
The space will be open to PayPal SixthMan members as well as season ticket holders of the franchise, located in the area formerly reserved for a FanDuel retail sportsbook in PHX arena. Phoenix Mercury Paypal X-Factor members will also receive exclusive access beginning with the 2026 WNBA season.
