Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia has made a groundbreaking announcement that is resonating deeply with Suns fans and the broader Phoenix community.
On Wednesday, Ishbia unveiled a $2 value menu at Suns games, offering a hot dog, a 16oz bottled water or fountain drink, a bag of chips, or a bag of popcorn at a price that’s incredibly affordable for fans. This move is not just about reducing prices—it’s about creating an inclusive, fan-first environment that reflects Ishbia’s commitment to making Suns games more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
Ishbia’s decision came after he noticed the lack of affordable food options for families at the games.
“Winning starts with our fans,” Ishbia said in a statement on X. “When I walk the concourse at games, there aren’t food options for families who don’t want to spend a lot of money. That needs to change, so today we’re rolling out our $2 value menu for all home Suns games.”

Previously, a family of four would spend around $98 on hot dogs, water, and popcorn. With the new value menu, the same meal now costs just $24, making it much more affordable for fans to enjoy the game-day experience without breaking the bank. This initiative has been praised by many fans and members of the NBA community, who appreciate Ishbia’s efforts to make game attendance less expensive.
Ishbia’s announcement is part of a larger trend in the NBA to make games more affordable for fans. Other teams, like the Utah Jazz, have also introduced similar cost-saving measures. By investing in both the team’s success and the fan experience, Ishbia is building a culture that prioritizes connection, community, and winning basketball.
