  • Arizona's Spectacular Sports
    Arizona’s Spectacular Sports From football to auto racing, Arizona is a sports playground Looking for a sports lover’s dream? You’d be hard-pressed to find a better location than Arizona, regular-season home to four major league teams, Spring Training baseball, record-breaking professional golf tournaments, three college football bowl games, four major NCAA universities, the 2015 Super Bowl, the 2015 NFL Pro Bowl, the 2016 College Football Playoff Championship Game and the 2017 NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four. Arizona continues to prove itself as a sports destination and has been named as the chosen location for the 2023 Super Bowl and the 2024 Final Four. The Big Four When the Arizona Diamondbacks arrived on the scene in 1998, Phoenix joined the exclusive club of U.S. metropolitan areas with professional baseball, basketball, football and hockey franchises. Currently, there are just 13 such communities in America that can make that claim. Baseball Arizona fans fell in love with the National League’s Arizona Diamondbacks right off the bat, and the team’s 2001 World Series win over the New York Yankees still ranks as the most significant professional sports victory in state history. The D-backs’ downtown Phoenix stadium, Chase Field, has become a visitor attraction in itself. Basketball Arizona’s original major league franchise, the Phoenix Suns, started playing in the NBA in 1969 at Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Today, the Suns play at Talking Stick Sports Arena in downtown Phoenix. Football The nation's oldest continuously run NFL franchise (it got its start in 1898 as Morgan Athletic Club in Chicago) – the Arizona Cardinals began playing in Glendale’s State Farm Stadium, (formerly University of Phoenix Stadium) in 2006 after playing for nearly 20 years at Arizona State University’s Sun Devil Stadium when the franchise relocated from St.
