amazing stadium.

WOW! The new Arizona Cardinals stadium in pheonix is amazing! Last night I watched a show, on The Discovery Channel, called Extreme Engineering, it was about the construction of this new stadium due to open this coming NFL season. I was blown away. After the watching the show I had to find out more about this stadium. So I checked out the Cardinals website. Again.... WOW! This, by far, will be the coolest stadium ever built. (Well... maybe the coolest so far.) All of the detail and planning that went into this state-of-the-art stadium is amazing. This proves that if you get the right people together, working on the same project, you will get something great.



Check out some of these "totally awesome" features of the new
Sportsman's Park.

The exterior walls were engineered to replicate a rattle snake curled up or a golden barrel cactus.


A retractable roof that is 240 feet wide by 360 feet long and fully exposes the playing field.

Two huge LED screens. One of them measures 96 feet by 27 feet and the other measures 40 feet by 22.5 feet.

The field is on a "tray" that rolls in and out of the stadium.

The seat capacity is 63,000 with field tray in and 73,000 with the field tray out.

The four colors of the Cardinals were divided into percentages - red (60%), black (20%), yellow (13%), and white (7%) – which are proportionally integrated throughout the interior of the building.
