 The
University of Phoenix stadium, located on 165 acres, between Loop 101 and 91st Ave, Maryland Ave and Bethany Home Road. This stadium will be home of the National Football League,
Arizona Cardinals. This state-of-the-art facility will offer air-conditioned space for 63,000 permanent seats, expandable to 73,000 for mega events like the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and NFL Super Bowls. There will be 88 individual suites on two levels. The roof has two large retractable panels that will uncover the entire playing field while providing maximum shading for fans. The natural grass playing surface is contained in a retractable, 12-million pound tray that will be 234 feet wide by 400 feet long and is the first of its kind in America. This new $355.3 multipurpose stadium will host multiple events –
Cardinals football, Tostitos Fiesta Bowls and future Super Bowls, with the first Super Bowl date scheduled for February 3, 2008. Other events such as the NCAA Basketball Tournament “Final Fours” is another venue that will be hosted at the stadium. The projected economic advantage that the impact of the Super Bowl alone will bring to the Phoenix area is expected to be more than $400 million. -
