Tour of the New Stadium 6/1

[ARZCardinals]

I was able to tour the new stadium last week. I forgot my camera, but took pictures on my phone...I don't know if I'll be able to post them here.

It's all coming together. The inside is AMAZING!!! First off, the roof was closed and it was nice inside....plenty of ambiant light through the roof and it kept the heat out.
Seats are AMAZINGLY close to the field. There truly isn't a bad seat in the house. Even the 10 buck seats are good.
Cards logo on every seat, cup holders all around the stadium.
bathrooms everywhere, walked into the girls bathroom...yea it'll be the only time I get in there...there are tons and tons of stalls for the ladies. Guys seem to have a few less facilities per bathroom...big deal...drain the lizard and get back to the game. But if you like to take your lady freind along, she'll be happy to see there won't be huge lines for her anymore.
Concession stands everywhere. Dust everywhere. Inside sinage coming together. The inside bowl is done.
Only thing missing, not done that should have been added is...if you've been to a suns game they have the electronic strip that goes around the stadium that gives info and looks great...the Cards did not place that in there.
Audio will be AMAZING as there are speakers everywhere. All the seats are installed. TV's around the concourse are installed like they were at ASU. They should have also placed TV's in the bathroom areas...I didn't look to see if there were speakers in the bathroom, but it's nice at the suns game how they have KTAR piped into the restroom.
I'll try to upload the photos if I can figure out how to get them off my phone and onto the computer...
Cards facility will be amazing!

Has anyone heard of a day to open the stadium for season ticket holders?

I've read and heard a number of times that Cardinals Stadium DOES have a "ribbon" video board that encircles the bowl. They've mentioned that it's been tested a number of times.

Not that I totally care but you would think they would have this in the new stadium simply because they can sell a ton of advertising with it. It provides some pretty cool graphics but for the most part it serves as a constantly running advertisement for whatever they want to put on there. You'd think it would, at the very least, pay for itself. And the ads are changing and draw a lot of attention. I bet they will have the strip.

The letter that accompanied our season ticket statement said that parking was being finalized with the city and we'd have more info in early June iirc.

 

[Redheart]

Will parking be offered based on Season Ticket senoirity?

 

[ARZCardinals]

you know parking will be based on TICKET PRICES. He who pays most walks less.

Average ST holders will be fighting for spots a mile away from the stadium...AND LIKE IT.

you'll walk a mile in 115 degree heat, just to get inside and have a cold one.

Imagine how drunk that place is going to be....Men who've been outside in 115 degree heat getting into the game after sweating a ton...begin drinking....WOW!!! Some thought Raider Nation was rough....wait till they see this in the Family Section....

It looks like there's a ribbon video board above the lower bowl, it just doesn't wrap all the way to the main board, which makes sense. Considering that most new stadiums (including the Coyotes and Suns stadiums) are equipped with this feature, I'm sure it's also in the new Cards stadium.

Got this email from STEVE BOMAR of the Cardinals today about the parking.

"The parking information should be finalized shortly and will be communicated to everyone immediately thereafter."



Thank you for your patience.

The official memo says, "we'll have a random drawing...everyone wanting to enter the drawing must send $20 to ARZCardinals. Those who do are guarenteed good luck. Send this email to 29 of your friends and your greatest of dreams will come true. If you fail a variety of random strangers will kick you in the nutz when you least expect it....dang wrong post forum....parking...can I do it with a hot chick in the lot!?!...
