Super Bowl XLII Hotels
New York Giants vs. New England Patriots
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2008
4:30 pm MST
University of Phoenix Stadium
Glendale, Arizona
Super Bowl XXX was played in 1996 in the Phoenix metropolitan area in Tempe--hosted by Arizona State University's Sun Devil Stadium.
In 2008, Super Bowl XLII (42) will 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.
