Glendale is the home to the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football Conference (NFL). The team formerly played at Sun Devil Stadium on the campus of Arizona State University in nearby Tempe, and in 2006 began playing at University of Phoenix Stadium.

 

The stadium was featured on the TV show Modern Marvels because of its roll-out natural grass field. The stadium is scheduled to host Super Bowl XLII in 2008.

 

Jobing.com Arena (formerly Glendale Arena) is adjacent to University of Phoenix Stadium, and is the home of the Phoenix Coyotes of the National Hockey League (NHL), as well as the Arizona Sting of the National Lacrosse League (NLL).

 

The Tostitos Fiesta Bowl is also located in Glendale, which opened in August 2006.
