State Farm Stadium, NFL stadium in Glendale, United States
Description
State Farm Stadium is a stadium in Glendale, Arizona, known for its movable grass field and retractable roof. The grass rolls outside on tracks when it needs sunlight or care, while the roof keeps the interior cool on hot days.
History
The stadium opened its doors in August 2006 after roughly three years of construction. Since then, it has hosted several major sporting events, including three Super Bowls.
Culture
The stadium is home to the Arizona Cardinals and draws large crowds on game days, when fans dressed in red and white fill the stands. Outside of football season, it hosts concerts and soccer games, making it a central point for sports and entertainment in the area.
Practical
The venue holds around 63,400 seats, which can expand for larger events, along with luxury boxes and ample onsite parking. Visitors should arrive early, as the entrances fill quickly before events and the walk from the parking area to the stadium can take some time.
Did you know?
The grass rolls outside on a platform weighing about 12 million pounds (around 5,400 metric tons) and passing through an opening roughly 140 feet (43 meters) wide. This design allows the playing surface to spend most of its time outdoors, even though the events happen inside.
