Brand new for the 2006 season, the Arizona Cardinals will finally have their very own home at Cardinals Stadium. As the most recent stadium addition to the NFL, Cardinals Stadium is not only a great place to catch some football action, but also a true engineering marvel. The stadium has been built with all the bells and whistles from embossed seats to a retractable roof that, while impressive is hardly a new idea in the world of professional sports. However, along with the retractable roof, Cardinals Stadium features a natural grass field that is retractable. That's right, the field can actually be taken out of the stadium to help ensure that the natural grass is up to the standards of an NFL game.
Along with a new look stadium, the team itself is poised to impress fans as well. Wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald continues to grow into his role as a bonafide superstar, but the real news in Arizona are the new additions. USC's star quarterback has been drafted by the Cardinals and looks to be able to step right in to help boost the passing game, while the recent aquisition of runningback Edgerin James should help to draw attention away from the air game. Whether you're interested in engineering, football or a mixture of both, be sure to stop by the new Cardinals Stadium when visiting the Phoenix area.
