About Arizona Cardinals v Detroit Lions

An NFL Sunday between two NFC rivals, with playoff-style stakes building as the season moves past its early weeks. Both sides bring physical, run-heavy football and defenses built to grind out low-scoring stretches, so expect a game shaped by field position as much as big plays. The early local kickoff means the pre-game build-up starts well before most people are properly awake.

Where to stay nearby

Peoria sits closest to the stadium, just 6km away, and offers a smaller, quieter set of hotels for those who want to be near the action without the bigger-city bustle. Glendale itself is barely further at 7km and has the widest local hotel choice right by the venue, making it the most practical base for a straightforward gameday. Phoenix, about 20km out, has by far the largest range of accommodation and is a good option if you want more restaurants and nightlife nearby, with a short drive or rideshare into Glendale on game day.

About Arizona Cardinals

The Cardinals trace to a Chicago neighbourhood side founded in 1898, making them the oldest continuously run professional football franchise in the country. The nickname comes from a shipment of faded, used maroon jerseys that the team's early owner deemed 'cardinal red' rather than replace. The franchise won NFL championships in 1925 and 1947 while still in Chicago, moved to St.

Louis in 1960, then to the Phoenix area in 1988, settling into Glendale's stadium in 2006. Arizona reached its only Super Bowl in the 2008 season, falling narrowly to Pittsburgh. Larry Fitzgerald's long career as a Cardinal, spanning that Super Bowl run and well over a decade after, remains the modern era's defining thread.

Arizona Cardinals records & quirks

  • Matt Prater holds the franchise record for the longest field goal, a 62-yarder.
  • Cardinals are the only NFL team never to lose a playoff game at home (5-0).
  • Franchise's biggest-ever win: 65-20 over the New York Bulldogs, November 13, 1949.
  • Largest margin of victory: 60-0 over the Rochester Jeffersons, October 7, 1923.
