Glendale’s Sports and Entertainment District
If you’re the face-painting, jersey-wearing type, Glendale is most definitely your home base. As the home of the NHL Coyotes and the NFL Arizona Cardinals, Glendale is a place where sports fans can get their game on year round. Head to the award-winning Jobing.com Arena to watch the Coyotes take on their opponents under the leadership of hockey hero Wayne Gretzky. Spend your falls and winters counting Cardinals first downs in the NFL’s newest stadium.
Glendale is home of the 2008 Super Bowl, the annual Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and a BCS National Championship—Glendale is turning heads from all corners of the earth, and roaring fans and growling linemen will echo in the desert for generations.
