If you’re looking for vegan options at Footprint Center, home of the Phoenix Suns, you are in the best place you can be at the moment. Unfortunately, we still have the option from the previous season and have contacted their guest services multiple times with no additional information provided.
In addition to the vegan options inside the arena, we have provided you with the policies you may need to know if you’re thinking about bringing your own food or drinks into the stadium. We also list their bag policies since these tend to go hand in hand.
Should you choose to eat before or after your event, we have given you a few vegan restaurant options towards the bottom of the guide.

Benihana’s (Main Concourse near Section 121)
- Sushi* (Avocado Roll*?)

Benihana will also do a Rice Bowl Version of the Avocado Roll for the price of a Hibachi Bowl upon request.
We were told the ‘Sushi’ at Benihana was vegan, but we believe it is specifically the Avocado Roll. We are working to confirm.

Vegan Options Near Footprint Center
One of our favorite parts of the gameday experience is stopping for a bite to eat either on our way to or from the game (and sometimes both!) If you’re like us, you’re always on the lookout for good vegan-friendly spots close to the arena.
Here is a couple that stood out to us when we looked nearby the Footprint Center.
Vegan House
20 W Adams St, Phoenix, AZ 85003
Located just a half mile from Chase Field is the Vegan House. Vegan House specializes in Asian food and sandwiches made from local sources.
People rave about their Pad Thai and Orange (Vegan) Chicken so keep that in mind if you stop by for a visit.
Green New American Vegetarian
2022 N 7th St, Phoenix, AZ 85006
While the name says vegetarian, from what we can tell this place serves up 100% plant-based dishes. Green New American Vegetarian is a little further from the stadium, but still only a couple of miles away.
With over 2,000 Google Reviews, this place has one of the highest ratings we’ve come across when researching vegan spots near stadiums across the country! Green New American Vegetarian is definitely on our short list of places we want to check out ourselves!
