The University of Phoenix stadium is a venue primarily used for American football. It is located in the city of Glendale, in Arizona.

It is the home stadium of the Arizona Cardinals, an NFL team. It has hosted the Super Bowl XLII in 2008 and the Super Bowl XLIX in 2015, the BCS National Championship Game in 2011, the College Football Playoff National Championship in 2016, the Fiesta Bowl since 2006, and the Concacaf Gold Cup in 2009 and 2015.

The University of Phoenix acquired the naming rights for the stadium, acting as a sponsor rather than the owner. Sports teams are the owners of the sports field.

Its capacity is 63,400 (expandable up to 73,719 spectators); however, its uniqueness is its retractable field, which enters and leaves the stadium through a rail system. The operation takes 1 hour and 40 minutes.

Due to the intense heat frequently felt in Arizona, the Phoenix Stadium has an air conditioning system. The interior of the stadium is almost always kept at a temperature of 22 degrees.

The University of Phoenix Stadium was considered one of the top 10 impressive stadiums in the world by Business Week.
