Firebirds Fans Bring the Energy Ahead of Home Game at Acrisure Arena
Coachella Valley Firebirds fans are turning out in full force on a Wednesday night for one of the team’s final home games of the regular season.
With just three home games and six total games remaining, the Firebirds are making a strong push as they head into the playoffs, already clinching a postseason berth for the fourth straight year.
Fans say the excitement inside the arena continues to grow each season, calling it a fun, family-friendly environment that the Coachella Valley has embraced.
And with temperatures nearing the upper 90s outside, the cool indoor setting is an added bonus for fans looking to beat the heat while cheering on their team.
Puck dropped at 6:30 p.m., with plenty of energy in the building as fans rally behind the Firebirds’ playoff push.
