just ask us. We can handle Super bowl parties for 100 to 1000 people in any given venue.
 CARDINALS STADIUM
Recently recognized by Business Week as one of the 10 most impressive sports
structures in the world, Cardinals Stadium will not only feature a retractable roof but will also be the first in the United States to feature a fully retractable grass playing surface.
In addition to hosting Cardinals games, the stadium will host Super Bowl XLII in February of 2008 (www.azsuperbowl.com). It will also be the annual site of the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and
will host the first-ever Bowl Championship Series title game in January of 2007. The stadium will have a seating capacity of approximately 63,000 with the ability to expand to 73,000 for
mega-events.
 Cardinals Football
The exterior design of the stadium has been created by world-renowned
architect Peter Eisenman, along with HOK Sport and should become a landmark facility for Arizona. The basic form of the design takes its cue from a barrel cactus and offers alternating
vertical slots with smooth panels. In addition, the translucent “Bird-Air” fabric
roof will allow the stadium to have an open, airy feel even when the roof is closed. The roof has two large retractable panels that will uncover the entire playing field while providing
maximum shading for fans. The roof can be closed and the facility air conditioned in the hot months, while the roof can be opened to take advantage of the Valley’s world-famous climate
in cooler months.
 Diamondbacks Baseball
From its signature swimming pool to its retractable roof, Chase Field has become one of the game's most recognizable landmarks in just a few seasons.
Since the air- conditioned facility first opened its doors to a regular-season game on March 31, 1998, nearly 15 million baseball fans have enjoyed the opportunity to watch the Arizona
Diamondbacks without worrying about Phoenix's summer heat or monsoon storms.
Owned by Maricopa County, the 49,033-capacity ballpark joins nearby U.S Airways Arena in making downtown Phoenix
the sports hub of the Valley of the Sun. It is located just one block east of AWA, home of the NBA's Phoenix Suns. The ballpark is bounded by Jefferson Street on the north, Fourth street
on the west and Seventh Street on the east. Easiest freeway access is by taking the Seventh Street exit from either I-10 (turn south) or I-17 (turn north).
With an elevation of approximately
1,100 feet above sea level, Chase Field is the second-highest facility in the major leagues, trailing only Coors Field in Denver. Scientists have estimated that a fly ball will travel seven
feet farther for every 1,000 feet of altitude.
 Coyotes Hockey
