Season Ticket Holders since 2011
The Arizona Cardinals are our hometown team, and rain or shine – win or loss – we’re always there to support them at every home game and now traveling to a few games a season! There’s something special about game day in Glendale, and if you’re planning to visit State Farm Stadium for the first time, there are a few things you should know to make the most of your experience.
Tailgating at State Farm Stadium
We all love to tailgate and in Arizona that is no different. The parking lots open four hours before kickoff, giving fans plenty of time to fire up the grill, meet other fans, and get hyped for the game.
There are a few tailgating zones, each with its own vibe:
- Green Lot: This is the heart of Cardinals Nation tailgating – lively, friendly, and full of great food smells. Some large fan tailgates even welcome visiting team supporters, so if you’re from out of town let me know and I can point you toward one of the open tailgates that love hosting guests!
- Orange Lot (The Great Lawn): This is party central. The Great Lawn isn’t just about tailgating, it’s a full-on pregame festival. You’ll find live entertainment, games, food trucks, Cardinals Cheerleaders, Big Red, and performances on the Great Lawn Stage. It’s a perfect spot for families or anyone looking for that true game day atmosphere.
- Westgate Entertainment District: If you’d rather skip the traditional tailgate (especially early in the season when temps can still hit 100°F+), Westgate is a great alternative. It’s right next to the stadium and packed with restaurants, bars, and shops. Grab a drink at Yard House or Whiskey Rose, enjoy a meal in the shade, and you’ll still be surrounded by fans and pregame energy, just with air conditioning!
Inside State Farm Stadium
Once you’re inside, you’ll see why State Farm Stadium is considered so impressive in the league. With its retractable roof and roll-out natural grass field, it’s both high-tech, comfortable, and perfect for those hot Arizona afternoons.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the seating levels and experiences:
- 100 Level (Lower Bowl): Close to the action and full of energy. This is where you’ll feel every play and hear the roar of the Red Sea.
- 200 Level (Club Level): Our favorite seats! The Club Level features padded seating, fewer crowds, and easy access to restrooms and upscale food and drink options. Fans here also get early stadium access, private entrances, and access to exclusive spaces like the Bubble Lounge and 1898 Club.
- 300 Level (Suites): All suite seating, great for groups or corporate events, with private service and lounge access.
- 400 Level (Upper Bowl): The most budget-friendly seats with great sightlines. For a slightly upgraded experience, check out the Ring of Honor section (the lower part of the 400s), which has fewer people and easier access to concessions and restrooms.
- Field Seats: Located from the corner of the end zone to the 10-yard line. These are all-inclusive food and drinks and include Morgan Club access.
- Field Box Seats: Private 4 or 6-person boxes along the sidelines with oversized leather seats, personal TVs, Garden Club access, and all-inclusive food and drinks.
- Casitas: Found in the south end zone at field level, accommodating up to 25 fans with valet parking, private stadium entrances, and Garden Club access.
