State Farm Stadium in Glendale: A Visitor Guide

State Farm Stadium sits in Glendale’s Sports & Entertainment District, off Loop 101 between Cardinals Way and Glendale Avenue. The district is also home to Desert Diamond Arena.

The stadium hosts the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals, the annual Fiesta Bowl and other major events. Event schedules and access arrangements can vary, so check the listing for the event you plan to attend.

Check your event’s listing for gate and parking information, then confirm ticket details before travelling to the stadium. NFL game gates open two hours before kickoff, while gate opening times for concerts and other major events may vary.

Cardinals game parking lots open four hours before kickoff. For other major events, use the event detail page to confirm parking-lot opening information.

The stadium’s parking guidance covers advance purchases and access points; the venue is cashless, and parking areas accept credit cards only. It also prohibits unauthorized drone use at all times.
