State Farm Stadium

State Farm Stadium, officially named Arizona Cardinals Stadium, is a multi-purpose stadium located in Glendale, Arizona. It is used mostly for American football matches, hosting the home games of the Arizona Cardinals, its owner.

Opened on 1 August 2006 with a pre-season game between the Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers, it replaced the Sun Devil Stadium, which had a seating capacity of 73,379. The seating capacity of the new stadium is currently set at 63,400, expandable up to 72,200. The stadium was designed by Eisenman Architects and HOK Sport (now Populous) and had a construction cost of $455 million.

This state-of-the-art venue has a retractable roof and field, and has hosted several significant events, including two Super Bowls (XLII and XLIX), the 2015 Pro Bowl, the 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship, three Fiesta Bowls, and WrestleMania XXVI. It was also a site for the 2021 NCAA Final Four. The stadium was named one of the top 10 stadiums by Time Magazine in 2012. By its fifteenth birthday, State Farm Stadium had welcomed millions of spectators. The stadium is one of the potential venues for future Super Bowls and major sports events.
