Phoenix Mercury Tickets
The Phoenix Mercury, one of the original eight franchises to compete in the WNBA, made its debut on June 22, 1997. The Mercury began its inaugural season with women's basketball legend Cheryl Miller acting as both coach and general manager of the franchise. Miller led the team to four playoff appearances in its first four years of existence and a trip to the league finals. Paul Westhead took over as coach of the Phoenix Mercury in 2006 and his well-celebrated fast-break style of play proved to be a perfect fit for the players on the Mercury roster at the time. A year later, the team won the 2007 championship while breaking a number of team and WNBA offensive records. The team reigned as champions once again in 2009 and went on to win its third WNBA Championship in 2014.
