Check out new food at Footprint Center ahead of the Phoenix Suns' home opener

PHOENIX (AZFamily) – Basketball season is back and the Phoenix Suns are back for their first home game of the season!

The Suns will face the Dallas Mavericks this weekend on 3TV and Arizona's Family Sports. If you're coming to the game in person, check out what Footprint Center is cooking up for the fans!

The menu features several new cocktails and alcoholic beverages, including a boozy Root Beer Float, “Sun's Up” Rita and Prickly Pear Margarita, all served in a souvenir cup! The juicy root beer float also contains Jim Bean vanilla.

Popcorn is a must at a basketball game! This year, fans can get their hands on a brand new Gorilla souvenir popcorn cup.

“So this is our newest souvenir item. Popcorn goes to the back. It also comes with a bag of popcorn and is refillable the night of the event,” said Joe Freitas of Oakview Group. “Refillable as often as you like.”

But what about the main courses? The star of the show is an 18 hour smoked beef brisket!

Additionally, fans can enjoy smoked wings, pulled pork, an Uncle Jerome's Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and a new item – the Big Chicken Dunks. For dessert, enjoy a fried Twinkie while cheering on the Suns.

The meeting point is on Saturday at 7 p.m. See how you can watch the game.
