A Guide to State Farm Stadium

State Farm Stadium distinguishes itself as the first venue in North America to feature both a fully retractable roof and a rolling natural grass field tray. As the home of the Arizona Cardinals, this desert venue has secured its place in sports history by hosting thrilling Super Bowls and iconic college football championships.

Getting to the Stadium

State Farm Stadium sits in the Westgate Entertainment District in Glendale, about 15 miles northwest of downtown Phoenix and 20 miles from Sky Harbor International Airport.

  • Parking
    The Red and Grey Lots north and east of the stadium are Preferred Parking reserved for premium and season ticket holders. The Orange Lots west of the stadium and Purple Garage to the north can only be purchases on a season long basis. For general, single game parking the Green and Yellow Lots to the east and Blue Lots to the north are the best options while the Pink Lot to the northeast is farther away but offers the quickest post game exit. Pre-purchasing parking is required for these lots. The Black Lot south of the stadium is the only option for day of parking without a pre-purchases pass.

    Parking lots open 4 hours before kickoff and tailgating is allowed in all team lots. For supplies, Fry's has groceries, and Safeway is an option for a southern approach. Walmart Supercenter covers general supplies and snacks. Ov Market Beer & Wine offers craft beer and wine selections.
  • Public Transit
    Valley Metro Rail does not extend to Glendale or State Farm Stadium. On select game days, express shuttle buses operate from park-and-ride locations throughout the Valley, though availability varies. The stadium area is not served by regular bus routes, making car or rideshare the primary options.
  • Rideshare
    The designated rideshare zone is south of the stadium in the Black Lot.

Pregame Festivities

The Westgate Entertainment District, directly adjacent to the stadium, is the hub of all pregame activity. This outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment complex features restaurants, bars, and a central plaza with a stage for live entertainment on game days.
