from the comfort of stadium seats. The Greater Phoenix area is one of only eight metropolitan areas in the U.S. that has at least one team in each of the four major professional sports: baseball, basketball, football and hockey. The University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale is home of the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals. The 17,000-seat Jobing.com Arena nearby houses the NHL Coyotes. Chase Field in Downtown Phoenix is home to MLB’s Arizona Diamondbacks team and the NBA Phoenix Suns play only a block away at US Airways Center. As if this weren’t enough, other Phoenix-Tucson area professional sporting events include Cactus League Spring Training and a score of professional rodeos and bull riding events.
