Robert Sarver began laying the groundwork for Suns to get a new or updated arena years ago

Suns' Robert Sarver discusses his team's arena situation during a press conference on Wednesday at Talking Stick Resort Arena.

At a news conference in July of 2017, Suns owner Robert Sarver laid the groundwork for why his team needs a new arena or renovations to their current one, Talking Stick Resort Arena.

"We have no choice to do one of those two because as you know, our arena is becoming outdated. We're soon to be the second oldest arena in the league. Smallest arena in the league square-footage wise, not so much seating capacity, but square-footage wise and as I said the second oldest infrastructure wise.
