State Farm Stadium

State Farm Stadium in Glendale is the retractable-roof home of the Arizona Cardinals, with a rolling natural-grass field that slides outside on massive steel trays for sunlight between games. Its distinctive barrel-vaulted design, inspired by a desert flower, makes it one of the most architecturally striking stadiums in the NFL. The retractable roof and climate control let it host football in comfort even in Phoenix summer heat. It's also the annual home of the Fiesta Bowl, giving it a packed college football calendar alongside the Cardinals' NFL slate.

Opened in 2006, the stadium's engineering — the retractable roof and roll-out grass field — has made it a repeat Super Bowl host, staging Super Bowl XLII in 2008 (Giants over Patriots), Super Bowl XLIX in 2015 (Patriots over Seahawks), and Super Bowl LVII in 2023 (Chiefs over Eagles). It has also hosted two BCS National Championship Games (2007, 2011) and the 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship, cementing its status as one of the desert Southwest's premier big-event venues.
