What it's known for
State Farm Stadium’s most unusual feature is under your feet. The natural grass field sits on a giant tray that slides out of the building between events, so it can get sunlight, then rolls back in for games. Combined with the retractable roof, it lets the Cardinals play on real grass in the desert.
The stadium has hosted several Super Bowls and college football’s biggest bowl games, and its silver, curved exterior is meant to evoke a barrel cactus.
Getting there
The stadium is in Glendale’s Westgate Entertainment District, about 20 minutes west of downtown Phoenix. There’s no rail line to the stadium, so most fans drive and park in the surrounding lots or use rideshare.
Tips for your visit
- Westgate’s restaurants and bars, right next to the stadium, make a good pregame stop.
- The roof is usually closed for early-season games when it’s still very hot; later in the season it’s often open.
- Spring is baseball season here, but fall is when Arizona weather is at its best for a game.
