Arizona Cardinals Game Day RV Rental Guide

State Farm Stadium in Glendale hosts the Arizona Cardinals' NFL season from September through January — and it's one of the best RV tailgating venues in the NFL. The stadium has dedicated RV tailgating lots adjacent to the facility, and the Glendale entertainment district surrounding it (Westgate) has parking infrastructure that accommodates large rigs. Beyond individual games, the stadium hosts the College Football Playoff national championship games, WWE events, and periodic neutral-site college bowl games that each draw their own RV-traveling fan bases. The Cardinals' recent playoff runs have made certain late-season home games high-demand tickets.
