UofP Stadium, Glendale, AZ

On Saturday, November 14th, Andrew and I took a tour of University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.  This is the home of the Arizona Cardinals football franchise.  It’s another one of those things we had been saying, “We should do that” for a long time now.  Well, we finally did.

Having already completed the Chase Field tour (Diamondbacks baseball) we figured it would be more of the same.  We were right – but this tour wasn’t as much fun as Chase Field.  Unfortunately for us, the Seattle Seahawks had already arrived for Sunday’s game so we were unable to tour the locker rooms.

We spent a whole lot of time listening to the tour guide as we stopped at various spots around the main concourse.  After a long while, we went down to the service corrider for a whopping two seconds and then he said we had to leave.  We then went upstairs to the Loft level and saw the Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority Loft.  Lofts are a fancy way of saying Suites.

We were allowed into the Press Room which was pretty neat.  We got to sit where all of the press sits during the game, and check out the amazing views through the glass of the entire stadium.  And… that was about it.  90-minute tour over.
