With the current state of the economy, finding something to do with your free time isn’t as easy or as cheap as it used to be. People want to know that they are going to get the best bang for their buck before they go out. This is one of reasons why this site was created. So from time to time we’re going to cover places to go, and things to do around town that you may have heard of but know nothing about.
The first three part feature in this series revolves around going to a Phoenix Coyotes game at the Jobing.com Arena in Glendale. This feature will also include the many activities that go on at the Westgate City Center Complex before, during and after a Coyotes game.
When it comes to going to Coyotes games at the Jobing.com arena in Glendale, people around the Phoenix area want to know that if they come from Mesa or Gilbert (no matter what day of the week) will they get the best bang for their buck?
The answer is yes! Fans can indeed get the most out of their money when it comes to going to a Coyotes game and when they visit the Westgate City Center before a Coyotes game.
Buying a ticket to a Coyotes game does not only involve just the 60 minutes (three twenty minute periods with intermissions in between) that make up the hockey game. There is so much more that goes on at a Coyotes game then just hockey, that your investment for gas, food and tickets goes a lot farther than you probably realize. In addition, the Westgate City Center provides the residents of the greater Phoenix area a bonified entertainment destination for all.
One of the characteristics that makes an NHL Arena great is not just the team that plays under its roof but the things to do around the arena before and after the game. I personally have been to just about every single NHL arena on the West Coast (the exception being the Staples Center in Los Angeles) and have extensively explored the areas around a 5 mile radius of said NHL Arenas. There simply isn’t that much for fans to do before or after a game that is within close proximity (less than a mile to five miles) of their respective arenas.
The Jobing.com arena and the grounds of the Westgate City Center is a completely different story.
The Westgate City Center an all inclusive, state of the art, entertainment destination for residents of Phoenix to come and enjoy.  Hockey fans can come to the Westgate City Center in advance of a Coyotes game and find a plethora of activities that can fill up any of the extra time they may have before a game. The great thing about this is that Coyotes fans don’t have to worry about wandering too far from the Jobing.com arena because the arena is right on the grounds of the Westgate City Center.
Now when I say the arena is ‘right on the grounds of the Westgate City Center’, I mean that it’s less than 30 feet from the closest Westgate City Center restaurant to the main entrance of the Jobing.com Arena.
Look for your self….
Westgate City Center from the second level of the Jobing.com arena
The Westgate City Center stands out amongst the other mega malls in the Greater Phoenix area (like Desert Ridge, Tempe Market Place, Mesa Riverview, etc) in that they offer its customers the most unique shopping and entertainment experience in the area. In the case of many of the Westgate City Center tenants, there are some destinations that are unique to Arizona.
Very few if any NHL, let alone any other professional sports teams, can make the claim that they can provide pre and post game entertainment for their fans literally right outside the door of their arenas. I’ve been to many different professional sport arenas/complexes all across North American and Europe and I have to say what the Phoenix Coyotes have in the Jobing.com Arena and the Westgate City Center is unlike any other sporting/entertainment complex I have ever seen. Can you honestly think of another arena in North America that has an all-inclusive complex not only for sporting events but for entertainment as well?
What the Jobing.com arena and the Westgate City Center can offer a resident of Phoenix is an all inclusive entertainment destination for residents of Phoenix of all ages.
What does that mean to you, the consumer?
This means that when you come to a Coyotes game, you can come many hours in advance of the start of the Coyotes game, park your car for free and find many things to do to occupy your time until said game starts. Even if you don’t go to a Coyotes game, the Westgate City Center is quickly becoming a popular destination for residents all across the valley.
