Full detailAbout State Farm Stadium
State Farm Stadium seats 63,400 for football, expandable further, across a lower Main 100 level, a club 200 level and an upper Terrace 400 level, plus a Ring of Honor row at the front of the terrace. The best sideline seats sit in the lower 100 level near the 50 (around sections 113 to 114 and the 106 to 124 band), with the Club 200 sideline offering premium mid-field views. Thanks to the retractable roof and air-conditioning, early-season desert heat is managed by playing with the roof closed, so shade and cooling, not cold, are the comfort consideration. Beyond the Cardinals it hosts the Fiesta Bowl, multiple Super Bowls and NCAA Final Fours.
A retractable-roof stadium with a fully retractable natural-grass field on a roll-out tray that moves outside for sunlight between events, one of very few of its kind. The roof opens in about 12 minutes, and the rounded metallic exterior earns its Big Toaster nickname; inside is a conventional three-tier bowl.
