Fiesta Bowl Hotels
????? vs. ?????
MONDAY, JANUARY 5, 2009
6:30 pm MST
University of Phoenix Stadium
Glendale, Arizona
The Fiesta Bowl has been played annually since 1971 in Tempe, Arizona, hosted by Arizona State University's Sun Devil Stadium.
In 1999 the Fiesta Bowl became part of the Bowl Championship Series. Starting in 2006, the Fiesta Bowl will now be played in the state-of-the-art University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona
UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX STADIUM:
The facility features a retractable roof as well as the first fully retractable
natural grass playing surface built in the United States. An opening on one side
of the stadium allows the playing field to move to the exterior of the building
so the entire natural turf playing surface can be exposed to daylight when it is
not in use. The grass field rolls out of the stadium on a 12-million pound tray
built on 13 rails, which takes about an hour to move in and out of the stadium.
With the field in the outboard position, the 158,000-square foot floor is
unencumbered by the turf and features a built-in utility grid.
