The State Farm Stadium is the famous home for the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals, and was previously known as the University of Phoenix Stadium.
Not to be confused with State Farm Arena, which is another venue entirely.

It’s located in Glendale, Arizona, which is situated to the west of Phoenix at about a 10-mile drive from downtown.
And since the stadium can hold 63,400 people, expandable to 78,600, you can bet it serves all kinds of foods for its guests.
