The STMA Sports Field Tour also took us by Cardinal Stadium in the City of Glendale. It will be the future home of the Phoenix cardinals and host the 2008 SuperBowl . The field will be a movable field on rails that will move in and out of a greenhouse attached to the stadium. This will allow other events to be held on a concrete floor without damage to the turf.
