About State Farm Stadium
State Farm Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Glendale, Arizona, west of Phoenix. It is the home of the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League (NFL) and the annual Fiesta Bowl. Opened in 2006, the stadium is famous for its retractable natural grass playing surface.
The entire field is contained in a single 40-inch-deep tray that rolls in and out of the stadium on 546 steel wheels. This allows the grass to grow in the natural sunlight outside while the stadium is used for other events like concerts or conventions. The stadium also features a retractable roof to combat the desert heat.
The exterior design mimics a barrel cactus, while the interior features murals reflecting the canyons and deserts of Arizona. It has hosted three Super Bowls, including Super Bowl XLII (the Giants' upset of the undefeated Patriots) and Super Bowl LVII. It is considered one of the best examples of modern stadium engineering.
