Came here to watch Bruno Mars last month and the show was phenomenal. If you don't have the height, though, do NOT get the floor seats because you will spend a lot of time looking at the screen. It would have been helpful if there were traffic attendants at the light because this was what took us the longest. Make sure you arrive 1 hr early so you can get food and find your seats. read more

State Farm Stadium - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Went to see the Bruno Mars Romantic Tour concert with my cousins and it was a fantastic experience!! We sat on the floor in the 20th row and the vibe was just great!! Took awhile to get thru once we passed the security check-in and were filtering down a few levels to get to the floor. Of course there were a ton of people and we were packed like sardines but the flow was smooth and people were patient. Once we got to our seats, we got situated and Leon Thomas was already midway as the opening act. There was a slight mixup as one chair, the "30th" seat was missing on our row and we ended up moving down one seat to our left as the group with the seating issue kept trying to figure it out. Some numbers were missing on our seats but mine was visible and we could verify where we were seated. Luckily, our seat neighbors were nice people and accommodating since there seemed to be an extra seat that was empty. When we first arrived, there were some people who sat near our seats that weren't supposed to be there but you know there's always one of those so they moved. It was fun and festive. The woman in front of us with her daughter was recording the whole time as well as the lone guy next to my cousin who was doing the same and singing to EVERY SONG, LOL!! Thankfully we never had to use the bathroom as we went during dinner right before the concert. There were Porta-Pottys on the floor level inside as your bathroom. Also, you couldn't take an actual canned drink inside. Attendants had you put them in a cup unless they weren't paying attention and you had your drink in your see-thru backpack like the guy in front of me walking in. Speaking of, you need to look at bag dimensions and restrictions prior to going to the events. I looked ahead of time and brought a clear, plastic purse within the allowed guidelines/dimensions. Acoustics were great, there was never a glitch, 2 large screens on the left and right of the stage were great for folks seated far away and were a great visual for close ups even for us. Security was effective and checkpoints at the entrances went smoothly. It was a bit crazy getting out of the stadium but we got out. Getting out of the parking lot was another story. It was a long, log-jam and some vehicles were impatient and nearly hitting other vehicles just to get in the line to get out! I think the parking guides and traffic monitors could've done better in an orderly and streamlined fashion. In any case, we had fun and luckily people inside were nice and courteous. This was my 2nd concert at this stadium and am well-pleased with the ambiance. It was just the parking lot situation that needs to be more efficient. Hopefully they worked it out the next evening since Bruno played 2 nights here. read more

There's something about walking into State Farm Stadium that feels bigger than the reason you came. Doesn't matter if it's football, a concert, or a full-blown spectacle with 70,000 people packed in like a living, breathing organism you feel it the second you step inside. The hum. The anticipation. The kind of energy that doesn't ask permission. This place is a machine. Opened in 2006, built like some kind of desert cathedral to noise and chaos, it holds over 63,000 people and stretches past 70,000 when things really get out of hand. And somehow... it works. You've got this retractable roof smooth, deliberate, almost theatrical and beneath it, a field that literally rolls outside like it's clocking out for the day. Not metaphorically. Actually rolls out on steel tracks, soaking up the Arizona sun before sliding back in for showtime. It's not just engineering. It's show business. But what sticks with you isn't the mechanics it's the feeling. I've been there when the roof's open, and that desert air sneaks in. Not the brutal, punishing heat Arizona's known for but that warm, forgiving breeze. The kind that reminds you you're alive without trying to kill you. It's perfect in those in-between months, when the weather finally loosens its grip and lets you breathe. And then there's the crowd. That many people in one place cheering, yelling, singing, half-losing their minds it shouldn't feel comfortable. It should feel dangerous. And maybe it is, just a little. But there's camaraderie in it. Strangers high-fiving like old friends. Everyone chasing the same moment, whether it's a touchdown or a guitar solo. The food? Better than it needs to be. The drinks? Cold enough to keep you grounded. Just barely. Because once you're in it in the noise, the lights, the movement you realize this isn't just a stadium. It's a controlled kind of chaos. A place built to hold human emotion at full volume without letting it spill over the edges. And somehow... it doesn't feel overwhelming. It feels right. You come for the event. You stay for the experience. And somewhere in the middle of it all, you realize you're part of the show now. read more

I loved Charlie Kirk and everything he stood for. I loved his love for Jesus Christ Our Savior. It was an honor to go to State Farm Stadium for TPUSA's Memorial for Charlie Kirk. We were two of out of 200,000 that attended his Memorial with 20,000 overflowing into another stadium. With President Trump, VP J.D Vance and over two dozen political speakers, there was secret service everywhere and sharp shooters on all the surrounding buildings and a security in every corner you turned inside and outside the building. Regardless of where you sat you were able to get a good view of the stage, the Christian artist performing and all the speakers. The Memorial lasted about 8 hours and because the stadium seats were comfortable and spacious enough, it made our visit at the stadium very bearable. TPUSA made the right choice in choosing this venue. I'll forever be grateful to be able to be part of celebrating the life of Charlie Kirk. read more

I live in Las Vegas but I traveled to Glendale to watch my guys in teal and gold (aka Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars) take on the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium on 11/23/25. Out of all 30 football stadiums in America, this is the second one I've visited so far, the first being Allegiant Stadium back up in Vegas. I decided to take my friend and former coworker with me to the game; she and her son moved to Glendale last summer and they have State Farm Stadium literally in their backyard. Since this is a review for State Farm Stadium, I'm not going to talk too much about the Jaguars, as I do not want to push the buttons of Cardinals fans. And yes, I did watch the Jaguars play in Vegas three weeks ago. I had a groupie phase that dissolved a long, long time ago, but I followed them to Glendale so I could watch them, specifically Trevor, play one more time this season. We arrived at the stadium about an hour before doors opened, so we spent that time walking around, figuring out our recommended gate entrance, and watching other football games that were on. I found some really good seats just above the visiting team sideline at a reasonable price. Maybe it's just me or I'm used to the seats at Allegiant Stadium being crazy expensive. We sat in section 125, row 31 in seats 21 and 22 with an awesome view of the field. Their retractable roof was closed during this game because of the rain they had over the weekend. State Farm Stadium is a tad smaller than Allegiant Stadium, but still a good size. One mind blowing thing that they did before the game began is that they bought back every former Arizona Cardinals cheerleader dating back to 1984. Just seeing them come out endlessly was wild and I thought that it wasn't going to stop. I stayed at a hotel right across the street from the stadium, which saved me money by not parking onsite or parking at my hotel because I didn't have a car. I can't remember how much it was to park at the stadium, but it was $30 to park at my hotel. We sat next to a Cardinals season ticket holder, who recommended to us a really good food stand that was behind our section, called Pork on a Fork. He said that they have an excellent nacho brisket dish, and he was correct! My friend and I shared this and although the cheese was something (a little on the spicy side), it was delicious. I also had two Sunday Margarita drinks and I wish I had more. I didn't have to worry about driving, but I did had a flight to catch back home the next day. Our seats were behind Hyundai Gate 2, making entering and exiting very easy and simple. We stayed the entire game, which was sent into overtime and it ended up being a very close one. After this game, I went back to my hotel and traveled home the next day happy with a Jaguars win. read more

The echo is horrible in this stadium! If you're going to a concert here you should get tickets near the floor and the front, other wise it's really difficult to hear. I wouldn't recommend this venue for a concert unless you can buy nice tickets. Other than that the service, and restrooms were clean and I enjoyed it otherwise. read more

State Farm Stadium - Ed Sheeran Concert - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

State Farm Stadium Fact: This stadium is considered an architectural icon for the region and was named by Business Week as one of the ten "most impressive" sports facilities on the globe due to the combination of its retractable roof and roll-in natural grass field. Did you know that the oldest known stadium is the Stadium at Olympia in Greece, built around 776 BC? Now you know. I love this stadium. This stadium is nineteen years-old and hosts a multitude of events from concerts, the Cardinal games, three Super Bowls, Wrestlemania, and even hard seltzer festivals. They boast 14,000 on-site parking spaces, 88 executive suites, has the capacity for 63,400 (expandable to 72,200; standing room to 78,600) people. It's a marvel whenever I catch a concert or watch a Cardinals game here. I love it! I simply adore Glendale's State Farm Stadium. read more

I saw Morgan Wallen here last year for the Friday show and I just have to say that 1, the show was AMAZING... but 2, I cannot believe how much of a shit show it was to park here! I came in through one of the streets and through a little strip mall area, just to then be forced right over a bridge for me to make an illegal U-turn to be able to get back into the parking lot! It made absolutely ZERO sense and that alone was probably almost an hour... Inside, getting to our seats was fine... the inside walls and stadium seem basic AF, but was able to grab a little turkey wrap for a decent price. The show was incredible, no issues! Leaving the stadium was pretty quick since the freeway access is basically right there. Long story short, be prepared for a weird parking situation... honestly, might just be better to park elsewhere and walk here read more

My family attended the Fiesta Bowl this past Thursday 01/08/2025 . We really liked how exclusive the club section was regarding bathrooms and food lines . No matter if it was halftime or middle of a quarter getting drinks or going to the restroom had no lines. Large cans of Dos Equis was $17.50 and the club nachos with pork were $22 which fed all three of us . It's in a pizza box so you can easily it eat at your seats or the many tables available in the club dining areas . Bar area is quick and they make a nice stiff double crown and coke . We had a blast and the seats we had offered great views ! read more

Extremely poorly managed. As a small framed woman, I found the seating to be extremely packed and I am not large... think airplane seating tightness. Packed in like sardines.

I have been to SFS enough times to remember the traffic, but not enough to remember... how bad the traffic is. I married to a St Louis Rams family who then became the LA Rams, and maaaan, the games are way more fun now. And the wins almost feel like they're guaranteed! We booked tickets that due to the current fires in California, the Cardinals allowed the Rams to take home tonight. We were assigned parking, but getting in was confusing since the city closed MANY streets down which of in return caused a lot of traffic. Once we were in though, it was pretty easy to get into parking and get checked in. The facility was clean, the restrooms were very well maintained, and the event staff was awesome!! read more

Came for a preseason game. There were definitely more chiefs fans than cardinals. Parking was a bit chaotic and took quite a bit of time to get in (get there early!).

Had a fun time at the Bears vs Cardinals game here at the stadium. Great food venue's to choose from. The women's restrooms are really nice. I appreciated the fact that the exterior of the stalls are red in color, but the interior of the stall is yellow. Helped me to know which stall was open. Seats are what you would expect at a stadium. It was nice to see the dome open and watch the rain pour down onto the field. Shortly after the dome was closed. Either way, we won lol. read more

State Farm Stadium is home to the Arizona Cardinals and the annual Fiesta Bowl. I was a Cardinals season ticket holder for many years when the Cardinals played at Sun Devil Stadium. Those were dreadful hot half empty games in a stadium not meant for NFL. This stadium eventually opened in 2006 and I kept my tickets for the first couple seasons. I gave them up because the Cardinals kept jacking up the ticket prices. The sucky thing is that the Cardinals with Larry Fitzgerald and Kurt Warner had a great season in 2008 the year after I gave up my season tickets and went to the Super Bowl. State Farm Stadium is located in Glendale and has around 63,000 seats. They can increase capacity to over 70,000 with standing room only seats. It has a retractable roof and a natural grass field that rolls in and out. The outside of the stadium was designed to represent a barrel cactus. This stadium used to be called University of Phoenix Stadium (dumb name) before State Farm got the naming rights. Even though the parking lot holds a lot of cars, it sucks trying to getting in out of here on games days. Westgate Entertainment District is next door if you want to enjoy food and entertainment before and after a game. The arena next door used to be home to the Coyotes hockey team before they left. Now they mostly host concerts. Outside of the stadium is a statue of legendary Cardinals player Pat Tillman. Tailgating is fun here with much of the activity taking place on the great lawn. It is fun to walk around and see what people are cooking up and creativity of their tailgating tents. I have Fiesta Bowl season tickets and have been to almost every Fiesta Bowl that has taken place here. I have also seen two NCAA Basketball Final Four Finals and a Mexico-U.S. International Friendly soccer game. State Farm Stadium has hosted three Super Bowls. Going to a Super Bowl is still on my bucket list, but I can't get myself to shell out the almost $2,000 price tag. State Farm Stadium has hosted many of the larger concert acts like Taylor Swift, Rolling Stones and Beyoncé. I have seen U2 on a couple of occasions in this stadium. State Farm Stadium is nearing 20 years old. Time really does fly. Even though it is a long drive from the East Valley, I have had many good times over the years tailgating in the parking lot and going to events at this stadium. read more

It's a great venue. The employees are all nice, concessions around every turn. The sections for the seating, specially at the top are a little hard to understand. Also the parking lot can become, and most times is, a disaster. Trying to get out at the end of the even is a nightmare. There is no organization whatsoever, it's just a frenzy. read more

Worst stadium ever!!!! First, had a clear purse except the bottom had a black strip. Security chased me down and even though they looked in find my clear purse and made me throw away the clear purse. Second, the stadium is a shot show! Plan at least 2 hours prior to your show or game and then one. You get inside plan for a wall to wall sea of people with 45 min concessions and 15 minute bathroom lines. Worst venue ever!!!!! Update... saw somebody else carry a non-clear Louis Vuitton purse. This place is not regulated, see pic below. Beyond pissed at this crappy place. Also ran out of candy at 2 places at 7pm. That's an hour in line. read more

I've been to State Farm several times for various concerts. We went and saw Post Malone this weekend. We bought nose bleed seats, but honestly still had a good view. The staff at the stadium were nice. The bathrooms were clean. I would say the biggest problem and thing to plan for is the parking is a mess in terms of trying to leave the stadium. Very little organization when it comes to leaving and it took us an hour to leave the parking lot. I've had this issue at every concert I've gone to. It is mostly a free for all when leaving the parking lot. We sat there and watched multiple cars and trucks fight to get out of there spots. So my point is, just plan on sitting for awhile in the parking lot. read more

I chcked out State Farm Stadium on a Friday night to see The Weeknd in concert. While State Farm Stadium is the home of the Arizona Cardinals, they also host a lot of event. When I think of large stadiums, I think of difficult parking. And this certainly was the case here. When I got close to the stadium in Glendale, traffic was a nightmare. Since I'm allergic to paying for party (especially when you pay and then have to wait forever to leave the venue after the show), I circled around a lot in the hopes of finding free parking. I eventually found a spot a 20-minute walk or so away from the stadium. Since I don't want to give away my secret, I won't say where but I'm happy I was able to find an area where you can do so. I'd rather get my steps in then wait in a log jam to get out of a venue! Once you actually get inside State Farm Stadium, the experience is better. They have a lot of food and beverage options. I didn't have any food but I did get a tall boy beer. $19 . . . stadium prices. If you're on the upper level, finding the escalators is confusing because they're a bit hidden. The stadium itself is a cool one. They had the roof closed and the A/C wasn't great but ok. Getting out of the venue was quicker than expected so at least there's that. The difficulty became that they close down a lot of streets so it was tough to figure out how to get on the highway. Stadium tours don't have the best acoustics and you're going to deal with the masses but it's typically the only way to see the big names. read more

I have been here to a handful events since my last review and thankfully have had a good experience every time since then. From concerts to football games, its been a breeze . The only nightmare left is the parking situation before and after events.... We have learned to arrive super early and leave about 20 minutes prior to the event ending to avoid the parking lot madness. I always feel safe here and there is always security and police present. Employees are friendly and the stadium is clean. Great place. read more

Beautiful stadium. Great seats and a good game. I love the app it has clear directions for game day. I parked in the east preferred grey lot, which gave me nice access to the stadium and minimal traffic. Beware the clear bag policy. I had a clear bag with 1 piece of fabric on the side. I was denied entry, so I returned it to the car and loaded up my pockets. They have plenty of food and drink options, and the bathrooms are immaculate for a stadium. I sat in section 127 and had a great view and a great time. read more

Rolling Stones = 5 stars for rocking octogenarians! Sadly, Venue = 2 stars. 2 stars are for the acts they book. 1st visit to SF Stadium & the food/bev situation, plus poor crowd management detracted from the experience. The food items were plain old crap, nothing like other stadiums I've been to: stale popcorn, brand less hot dogs, stuff you couldn't get away with at a bargain movie theater. Just not impressed, especially the confusing &, at times, non existent and neglectful crowd management. Whoever was in charge of that part, it was shockingly not right. Short version: needs better food & way better security. read more

Went to watch Bruno Mars last night we were very excited, one of my guest is autistic and she was having a hard time with some aspects of the concert so we went downstairs to give her space and collect herself so we did not disturb others. Security immediately began harassing us insisting we take her back to our seats we explained and they didn't care they even said that we should have got her a handicapped seat. We continued to stay standing trying to hear the concert and make the experience great for her. They made sure that we couldn't see the concert but we could hear it. At one point 7-8 stadium people were staring at us and talking and point amongst themselves. Of course next time we will get more appropriate seats for her but she did not deserve to treated like that nor did we. Although I wish she could have actually seen the concert she did enjoy the music. read more

Recently, I attended the Copa América - México vs Ecuador match with a friend to visit State Farm Stadium for what I recall as the first time. I perhaps visited for a Cardinals game when they first opened, but that was ages ago before I was active on Yelp. The biggest advice is to arrive 1-2 hours early for your event at minimum as the parking situation with traffic is overwhelming! My friend has a handicap decal, but was flagged to go down the regular parking which resulted in more time circling the lot. I wish the parking lot attendants would be cognizant of someone pointing to the decal to direct appropriately. Due to the event having around 63,000 attendants this could be more of a large crowd overwhelming an overworked staff. Once inside, the stadium is very clean and modern. I was impressed with how easy security was and the entrance to the stadium. We had club level seats, so we had a more relaxed vibe once upstairs as there were both bars and food stations dedicated to club level ticket holders. The view was also pretty great making for a great experience! Lastly, be prepared to wait for an extended time to leave as well. Exiting didn't really have anyone directing traffic, so it's dependent on the kindness of other vehicles letting you in. Easily took us over 30 minutes to exit, so I would encourage to use the restroom before leaving as well. The traffic situation will definitely impact me from booking events as it is a headache I won't want to deal with on the regular. read more

I used to enjoy the monster jam and motor cross events so much here. I enjoyed some food locations even though the prices are outrageous. The parking is a nightmare as well. Just a crap show to exit after an event. But after recent public celebration of Charlie Kirk's death from "LOLA'S TACOS" owner (Lola Olivares), I hope this stadium will take a stance. She publicly despises and wishes death on a group of individuals who have a different political belief than her. How does this ensure the safety of that said group of individuals eating her food in the stadium? She has THREE locations within the stadium. Who knows if her workers feel the same way of not, but now this should be investigated by the stadium owners. No mater what you believe or don't believe, this is completely unacceptable and unethical. I would never feel safe eating there, nor should anyone else. If they see you wearing conservative gear or Charlie Kirk gear they may tamper with food. I guess there's a memorial scheduled for 9/21/25. The same people she wishes death on will be there, and may not know about this. She will take their money while wishing them death, which absolutely ludicrous.

Am I a Cardinals fan now? I came here for the Patriot vs. Cardinals game, and had a wonderful experience here. Security/ticketing was quick and easy. We got through super smoothly and painlessly. Finding our seats was very easy, signage was perfectly marked. Cardinals fans are SO kind, wow. My partner was even wearing a Patriots jersey and everyone was so welcoming. We had a Cardinals fan ask if we wanted our picture taken when we walked up to the view of the stadium for the first time, the Patriots were losing in the 4th quarter and we went upstairs for a bathroom break and had not one, but two fans tell us not to leave yet even though we were losing. Drinks and food are expensive, as to be expected when you go to a stadium like this. Drinks were $13.50-$14.50 depending on what you got. Food is around the same. I got a personal pizza from the pizza place and it was delicious. Bathroom lines were long during certain times of the game, but they moved quickly. The bathrooms were always really clean. The only downside is leaving the stadium, which was organized chaos. It was expensive to find an Uber, and there were taxi drivers everywhere. Looking back, we should've waited it out and hung out for a little while before trying to find a ride. Great experience - I would come back, even though I'm not a huge sports fan! read more

I stopped by yesterday for the Morgan Wallen concert and it was amazing! Had a blast. This venue can hold up to 68k people I think - lots of people for sure! The place was nice and air conditioned except one area it was the lowest floor that was the warmest in the hallway area. It was a great time!! The security also helped me to my car and drove me with their golf cart - super awesome for that! The parking is huge by the way so pin where you park and remember it haha. The staff were amazing and friendly! The ambiance was awesome loved every bit of it. This venue is huge. It had 4-5 floors so honestly there is massive space here. I do however wish the stage was more open in the seats I was at, I got tickets pretty close to the front but with how the stage was set up it was not what I was expecting. The big screen on the sides were not as good as the main screen and that was disappointing due to the amount of money I spent on the tickets. I really thought I got good seats. Now I know for the future! It happens! I still had an amazing time! read more

I have been to the State Farm Stadium a handful of times, from Cardinals games to concerts. Security has always been smooth and secure, the bathrooms are never too bad and there are enough of them throughout the stadium that you are never searching too long. The parking lot is huge, to be expected and though it does take time to get in and out, it isn;t the worse I have experienced at a stadium of this size. Lastly, the suite's have always been nice, with friendly staff and tasty food, though not the typical visit. My most recent experience was when I went for the Eras tour - the concert was phenomenal, on a side-note! The entire production and quality from the sound to the views was great. The big loss is that the stadium ran out of water, which is really surprising to me, especially since we live in the desert, I feel that is something that should not be happening and is easily preventable. Other than being located on the opposite side of the valley to me, it's a nice stadium. As usual, expect to pay above average costs for food and beverage, but really just stack up on water or offer water refill stations if you cannot accommodate or manage the demand. read more

Morgan Wallen Concert I came recently for the Morgan Wallen concert, and while the performance itself was incredible, the overall venue experience was a major letdown. Layout & Concessions Let me start by saying the layout of this venue is chaotic at best. It took almost an hour just to get a bottle of water, and with so many people packed into one place, that's just not acceptable especially for families with small children or anyone with mobility or accessibility needs. There simply aren't enough concession options or staff to handle large crowds efficiently. Sound System The sound quality left a lot to be desired. I understand it's a massive stadium, but even still, the audio clarity was inconsistent and muffled, which took away from parts of the experience. Rideshare Nightmare The rideshare setup was the absolute worst part of the night. * Staff were giving mixed information, we were told there were shuttles to take us to the rideshare area, only to find out there weren't any. * Uber's designated pickup point wasn't aligned with the venue's location, so rides were getting canceled, and you couldn't adjust your pickup location within the app. * The Uber system crashed for 3-4 hours, and hundreds of people were left stranded outside the venue--families with kids, elderly guests, out-of-town visitors--no staff or help in sight. After hours of confusion and walking, a kind staffer on a golf cart was able to take us partway to the far east side of the stadium. My young child and I still had to walk nearly a mile just to get far enough from the crowds to (hopefully) catch a ride. We didn't get back to our hotel until 2 a.m. Even local law enforcement on site were frustrated, saying the situation was completely mismanaged. Comparison to AT&T Stadium (Dallas) To put this in perspective: I've been to AT&T Stadium in Dallas, which is just as massive--if not bigger. I attended a sellout event there with tens of thousands of people, and the difference was night and day. The rideshare setup was smooth, communication from staff was clear, and I was back at my hotel within 20-30 minutes of the concert ending. They had shuttles, signage, crowd control, and coordination--everything that was missing at State Farm Stadium. Final Thoughts I absolutely loved the concert, but I will think twice before returning to this venue, especially with a child or anyone who needs accommodations. The disorganization, lack of transportation planning, and poor crowd management made what should have been a great night incredibly stressful. Until they overhaul the rideshare logistics and improve their operations, I can't recommend State Farm Stadium for large-scale events. read more

I didn't plan to end up at State Farm Arena. In fact, a week ago, I didn't even know where it was. But the Rams-Vikings game, displaced by California wildfires, drew me to the sprawling desert city of Phoenix. I've seen my share of stadiums. California. Vegas. Denver. Each with its own personality, its quirks, its scars. And while State Farm Arena eventually won me over, let's not sugarcoat the start. Pre-purchased parking in the elusive green zone turned into a comedy of errors as navigation apps sent us to the wrong lot, where we were promptly dismissed without so much as a breadcrumb trail to our destination. Stadium entry wasn't much smoother. Pro tip: if you're building a state-of-the-art venue, invest in signage. Once inside, though? It was a revelation. I had club-level seats, so I can only speak to this gilded section of the arena, but let me tell you--this was football, reimagined. The space spanned nearly the entire stadium, with open bars and dining areas that felt more like a high-end food festival than a sporting venue. We started with a toast at the Veuve Clicquot Champagne Bar. Yes, a Champagne Bar in a football stadium. From there, it was freshly sliced roast beef sandwiches--so tender and flavorful they could've held their own in any reputable deli--and steak nachos so audaciously large they bordered on obscene, in the best possible way. Fans from both teams mingled in expansive, open spaces, drinks in hand, the tension of rivalry giving way to shared indulgence. The stadium seating itself? Comfortable. No cramped knees or architectural oversight. The roof, thankfully closed on this brisk evening, created a cocoon of warmth and light, making the game itself almost an afterthought. Which, given the Vikings' dismal performance, was just as well. State Farm Arena, for all its logistical hiccups, is a testament to what stadiums should be. A sanctuary for fans, food lovers, and curious onlookers alike. It's an experience, not just a game. Just fix the damn parking signs. read more

State Farm makes it hard to reach them during the claims process. I spent 30 minutes on hold to find out I am not on the claim for my personal truck. It is the exact opposite call I had with the previous person who said they put me on the claim so I can get the work started on my truck. I think State Farm should spend money on their claims department before spending money on naming rights for a stadium. It is a huge waste of money. read more
