Acrisure Arena Renames Premium Seating to Spotlight 29 Level After Expanded Partnership
Visitors to Acrisure Arena may notice a new name inside the venue. The premium seating level has officially been renamed the Spotlight 29 Premium Level, marking an expanded partnership with the Spotlight 29 Band of Mission Indians.
The announcement was made during a ribbon-cutting ceremony held at the arena, overlooking the arena bowl. Arena leaders say the move builds on a longstanding relationship, as Spotlight 29 has been a founding partner since the venue first opened.
Officials say the updated naming reflects a deeper collaboration and continued investment in both the arena and the Coachella Valley community. The partnership highlights a shared goal of bringing world-class sports and entertainment to the region.
Arena representatives emphasized that Spotlight 29 has played a significant role in supporting the arena, its teams, and major events. Expanding that relationship and integrating the Spotlight 29 name into the premium level is being seen as a major step forward.
Leaders from the Spotlight 29 Band of Mission Indians also say the recognition is meaningful, calling it an important moment for the tribe and its ongoing connection to the community.
The renaming is part of a broader effort to strengthen partnerships that help drive entertainment and economic growth across the Coachella Valley.
