University of Phoenix Stadium Info and Parking
After proposition 302 passed with 52% of the vote, University of Phoenix stadium was developed. A multipurpose facility boasting 73,000 seats, it also has the distinction of being the only American structure  to be named as one of the world’s ten most impressive by BusinessWeek.  Designed by renowned architect Peter Eisenman, it is the first venue in North America to feature both a retractable roof and retractable playing field. The stadium boasts six levels—the field, main concourse, club level, suite level (complete with 88 suites), upper concourse level and mechanical level. There are approximately 63,000 permanent seats, expandable to 73,000.

Security at University of Phoenix Stadium will be significantly heightened for the Super Bowl. Many items usually permitted into NFL venues are not allowed into the Super Bowl. The National Football League and Arizona law enforcement strongly recommend that fans minimize the number and size of all items carried into the Stadium. If you are in doubt about the appropriateness of an item, it is best to leave it behind on Game Day.
All items carried into stadium by fans will be carefully inspected and may potentially not be allowed into the Stadium. Fans are encouraged to bring nothing larger than a very small purse or bag. Nothing larger than 8 ½ x 11 inches is allowed. The NFL, University of Phoenix Stadium and law enforcement cannot hold prohibited or excluded items for game attendees.
