University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale is home of the Arizona Cardinals NFL team and the annual Fiesta Bowl.

The 63,400-seat stadium is a visually impressive icon and was named as one of the Top Ten "Most Impressive" sports venues in the world by Business Week.

The unique design of the stadium incorporates a retractable roof and a grass field that is rolled into the stadium specifically for football games. The unusual features means that the University of Phoenix Stadium can accommodate many types of attractions. It creates a flexible schedule that can switch from one type of event to another without any extra time in between. The roll-away field also means that the football turf can be kept in pristine condition with minimal maintenance.

The stadium opened in 2006 at a cost of $455 million.

Memorable moments at the University of Phoenix stadium includes sold-out concerts with musical icons like the Rolling Stones, and the highest-attended soccer match in Arizona, between the US Men's National Soccer Team and Mexico.
