About Desert Financial Arena
Desert Financial Arena is a multi-purpose arena. The address is 600 E Veterans Way, Tempe, in Arizona's Phoenix metropolitan area. It lies on the northern edge of Arizona State University's Tempe campus, just east of Mountain America Stadium. The arena was formerly known as the ASU Activity Center and as Wells Fargo Arena.
It went up in the spring of 1974 under the name University Activity Center, nicknamed the "You-Ack," and cost $8 million. It replaced Sun Devil Gym as the Sun Devils' main basketball arena, and Arizona State's men's and women's basketball teams and its women's volleyball team play there. The structure is 123 m (403 ft) long, 100 m (340 ft) wide and six stories high. Inside are offices and locker rooms for several teams, along with a weight room, coaches' rooms, film rooms and an equipment room.
Graduation ceremonies are held there too, along with many concerts and shows. The River Tour brought Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band to the arena on November 5, 1980. U2 opened its 1987 Joshua Tree Tour there with shows on April 2 and 4. The NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament sent its first and second rounds to the arena in both 2015 and 2016.

- Rows of small roof details
- Rows of small raised blocks cover the oval roof, and slim ribs run around its rim. Print friendly adapts them to the print scale; Full detail keeps them on a larger print.
- A low, wide oval
- The arena is a low, wide oval, so a larger print size spreads its roof pattern over more space. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep the stepped rim crisp.
- One piece with the ground
- Desert Financial Arena is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle

- File format
