The Arizona Cardinals contributed $109 million. The Cardinals purchased the land for the stadium for $18.5 million. Facility Website Twitter: @UOPXStadium UPDATE: Following the previous summer’s ruling from the Maricopa County Superior Court that the rental car tax was unconstitutional, the court has ruled the state must refund the rental car tax previously collected. The refunds could cost the State approximately $160 million. This would likely reduce the funding the Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority receives from the State to use toward debt payments on the University of Phoenix Stadium. In June 2016, the University of Phoenix Stadium upgraded the sound system throughout the arena.

    Giants-Jets Postgame Notes by Michael Eisen EAST

    Giants-Jets Postgame Notes By Michael Eisen EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – When Mike Glennon entered the NFL in 2013, most coaches followed a familiar plan for deploying their personnel in the preseason: play the starters for a couple of series in the first game, a little more in the second, past halftime in the third and not at all in the fourth contest. And now? “I feel like since I got in the league, the whole trajectory has changed,” Glennon said. It did for Glennon Saturday night when the Giants opened their preseason against the Jets. Coach Joe Judge sat almost all his starters, including Daniel Jones, so No. 2 quarterback Glennon started the game along with numerous other backups. He played three series in the Giants’ 12-7 loss in MetLife Stadium. The Giants have two preseason games remaining, at Cleveland and against New England, and Judge has indicated Jones and the first teams will get their heaviest workload against the Patriots. “It used to be everything built up to the third game and then it started a couple of years ago, it was like no one played anymore,” said Glennon, who completed three of seven passes for 20 yards. “Now it seems like maybe teams are treating the first game like the fourth game and the third game like the third games – I don't know. You guys have probably been around long enough to see the same thing, so I don't know what the plan is. But yeah, it felt kind of more like a fourth, which is weird, but we'll see.

    <BillNo> <Sponsor> HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION 770 By Sanderson A RESOLUTION to honor Jon Robinson on being named the General Manager for the Tennessee Titans. WHEREAS, it is fitting that the members of this General Assembly should pause to specially recognize those individuals who have performed their duties with uncommon devotion and enthusiasm and, through their magnificent exploits, have brought honor to this State; and WHEREAS, one such estimable individual is Jon Robinson, who has recently been named the new general manager for the Tennessee Titans after an illustrious scouting management career in the National Football League; and WHEREAS, a native of Union City, Mr. Robinson attended Union City High School and was a member of the Union City Golden Tornadoes football team. After high school he played football at the United States Air Force Academy for one season, before transferring to Southeast Missouri State University, where he played three seasons as a defensive lineman; and WHEREAS, after graduating from Southeast Missouri State University in 1998, Mr. Robinson began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at his alma mater for one season. He later joined Nicholls State University where he served as a graduate assistant for two seasons before being promoted to linebackers coach; and WHEREAS, Mr. Robinson departed from college football to serve the New England Patriots as an area scout and a regional scout for six years before being promoted to director of college scouting in 2009. As a scout he was instrumental in the team’s decade-long streak of unmatched success, drafting a host of star players, including Julian Edelman, Rob Gronkowski, Devin McCourty, Nate Solder, Chandler Jones, and many others.
