caption_attribution_description: English: A panoramic shot of the inside of University of Phoenix Stadium (or Cardinals Stadium) in Glendale, Arizona, taken before the start of the Arizona Cardinals Week 3 game against the Indianapolis Colts on 27 September 2009. It depicts the interior of the stadium from the uppermost row of the lower level and is facing in a generally north by northeast direction (due to the geographic orientation of the stadium.) This panoramic shot was stitched together from four separate photos and edited for even color balance and contrast and (mostly) smooth transitions using Photoshop.
context_page_description: State Farm Stadium, formerly known as University of Phoenix Stadium, is a multi-purpose stadium in the western United States, located in Glendale, Arizona, west of Phoenix. It is the home of the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League and the annual Fiesta Bowl. It replaced Tempe's Sun Devil Stadium as the Valley of the Sun's main stadium. The stadium is adjacent to the Gila River Arena, home of the Arizona Coyotes NHL team.
  The stadium has hosted the Fiesta Bowl, 2007 and 2011 BCS National Championship Games, 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship, Super Bowl XLII in 2008, the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl XLIX in 2015, and will host Super Bowl LVII in 2023. For soccer, it was one of the stadiums for the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup and the Copa América Centenario in 2016. For basketball, it hosted the NCAA Final Four in 2017, which is scheduled to return in 2024.
context_section_description: Other events included the Fiesta Bowl National Band Championship High School Marching Band competition.  It has also held many high school graduations. 
  On August 1, 2009, the stadium hosted Monster Jam Summer Heat, with Maximum Destruction defeating Captain's Curse in the racing finals and Grave Digger winning the freestyle event.
  The stadium hosted the inaugural Stadium Super Trucks race on April 6, 2013.
  On January 30, 2016, Monster Jam returned to the stadium for the first time since 2009, with 16 of the best trucks. On February 6, the AMA Supercross Championship raced for the first time, after visiting Chase Field from 1999 to 2015.
  On February 10, 2019 Russell M. Nelson, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, spoke to an audience of 68,000, a larger capacity than many events due to the majority of the field space being filled with seats.
