What’s new at State Farm Stadium ahead of Arizona Cardinals home opener

GLENDALE, AZ (AZFamily) — We’re just two days away from the home opener game for the Arizona Cardinals as they prepare to take on the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.

AZFamily’s Gina Maravilla and Ian Schwartz stopped by State Farm Stadium in Glendale Friday morning to get a sneak peek at some new amenities, food options and merchandise available to Cardinals fans.

Introducing “The Perch”

Located on the Fifth Quarter Deck, the top level of the stadium, “The Perch,” presented by Bud Light, is a bar in an area that spans 14,000 square feet. There, Cardinals fans can gather to enjoy the game and watch for promotions throughout the season featuring Anheuser-Busch products.

The first 100 fans to visit the Perch this weekend will receive a free 12 oz. Bud Light!

The Tail Feather Lounge

Chef Sean Kavanaugh shows us what’s new on the menu at the Tail Feather Lounge, a semi-private, Art Deco space in the stadium offering a dedicated bar and seating areas. Check out the Sonoran Style Seattle Dawg!

What’s new at the Team Shop

Gina and Ian also got a look at the latest Cardinals merch, including jerseys, hats and the latest Rivalries gear!

As an added bonus, State Farm will be giving away rivalry-themed Rally Towels to everyone at Sunday’s game!
