New Glandale Stadium - Super Bowl XLII
As the first stadium in North America to feature a retractable roof and a roll-out grass field, the University of Phoenix stadium is the home of the Arizona Cardinals, as well as the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Every four years, the facility will host the NCAA's BCS National Championship football game. And of course, Super Bowl XLII will be played in University of Phoenix Stadium on Feb. 3, 2008.
2007 Super bowl XLI
Dolphins Stadium
When H. Wayne Huizenga first mentioned adapting Dolphins Stadium to house an expansion baseball team, purists howled. Visions of Toronto's old Exhibition Stadium haunted fans. The only way Huizenga could convince the fans (and baseball owners) that it could be done was to build it. And convince them he did.
Constructed as a football-only stadium for the NFL Dolphins in 1987, Huizenga and company spent about $20 million to convert Dolphins Stadium to dual-purpose in 1990. While the home of the Florida Marlins is no Canden Yards, it's better than purists expected.
The 202-foot-long out-of-town scoreboard in left and left-center field contributes to the nice baseball feel. Nicknamed the Blue Blocker or the Teal Tower, it's a manually operated board that, like Wrigley Field's, provides an inning-by-inning score of every other major-league game.
Since acquiring full ownership of the stadium in 1994, Huizenga has instituted $15 million worth of improvements inside and out, such as adding 7,500 parking spaces, a food and entertainment complex, a second JumboTron, and a state-of-the-art turf drainage system.
