University of Phoenix Stadium is located in Glendale, Arizona, and is home to the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals and the annual Fiesta Bowl. University of Phoenix Stadium is located next door to the Jobing.com Arena, the home of the NHL’s Phoenix Coyotes. University of Phoenix Stadium hosted Super Bowl XLII and the 2007 BCS National Championship Game.
This state-of-the-art facility opened on August 1, 2006 after 3 years of construction. The seating capacity for University of Phoenix Stadium is 63,400 and it can be expandable to 73,719. University of Phoenix Stadium features some of the most recent developments in technology. Many stadiums built today feature retractable roofs, but University of Phoenix Stadium took this technology one step further. The stadium features a retractable field. This allows for the stadium to have a natural grass playing field that grows outside and is then moved into the stadium on game days. The retractable roof of the stadium is made out of translucent "Bird-Air" fabric and opens in twelve minutes. It is the first retractable roof ever built on an incline.
