Named one of the ten most impressive sports facilities on the globe by Business Week magazine! (February 27, 2006)

“When University of Phoenix Stadium opens for the 2006 NFL season, it will set a new standard for future covered stadia, with both bold architecture and by advancing the science and scale of operable structures.” Stadia Magazine, May 2004


“The new University of Phoenix Stadium promises to raise the bar in terms of stadium design, innovation and fan comfort. It is a tribute to the perserverance and commitment of the Bidwills and the Cardinals organization and will be a major source of tremendous community pride and national attention.” Past NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue

“New York architect Peter Eisenman has spent most of his career engaging in rarefied debates about design theory and producing a small group of buildings to match. But the design he may become most famous for is a football stadium in Arizona, filling a plot of land where alfalfa use to grow.” The New York Times (Arts & Leisure cover story), July 27, 2003

“For me, working on this project is really a labor of love because I am an absolute football junkie. From the first time I met with the Bidwells, it was clear the opportunity existed to do something special. Often I have associates stop by my office who don’t know the first thing about football and they are absolutely wowed when I show them the designs for this stadium. I think it’s going to be a huge success.” Architect and stadium designer Peter Eisenman
