From Arena Aisles to Friday Night Lights: Don Davis Balances Ushers’ Duties and Ref Calls

At Acrisure Arena, Don Davis is a familiar face helping fans find their seats and keeping game nights running smoothly. When he’s not ushering for the Coachella Valley Firebirds, he’s on the field as a high school football referee, bringing the same energy and attention to detail to both roles.

From hockey games to Friday night lights, Davis has become part of the heartbeat of the Coachella Valley sports scene — keeping crowds safe, athletes focused, and the community connected wherever the action takes him.
