The NHL's Phoenix Coyotes and NLL's Arizona Sting began playing

to the new facility in the fall of 2006. In 2008, Super Bowl XLII
is scheduled to be played there. Both venues are part of the

habitated Yucca district.

north-west part of the city. It is also hometown to up-and-coming
singer Jordin Sparks.
