State Farm Stadium in Glendale, home of the Arizona Cardinals and the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl, has a Sensory Room on the Main Concourse near the Guest Services Booth at Section 104, and the Cardinals say sensory bags can be found at all Guest Services Booths. There's no re-entry, and only clear bags and small bags up to 4.5 by 6.5 inches get in (medically necessary items excepted, after inspection).
Sensory supports. Sensory Room, sensory bags, no re-entry.
Hours
Open for events, not daily. For NFL games, the stadium's A-Z guide says gates open two hours before kickoff, while the Cardinals' family information says 90 minutes before kickoff, so the two pages differ. Gate times for major events and concerts may vary: check the event listing page. Cardinals game day parking lots open four hours before kickoff. The Vrbo Fiesta Bowl (College Football Playoff Quarterfinal) is December 30, 2026, at 5:30 pm MST.
Sensory help, in the stadium's and the Cardinals' words
“The Sensory Room, presented by Roman Empire Agency, is located on the Main Concourse near the Guest Services Booth at Section 104. This sound-protected space includes sensory active wall displays, sensory toys, low lighting, bean bag chairs and sensory bags. Sensory bags can also be found at all Guest Services Booths throughout the stadium.”
“For guests with sensory sensitivities, State Farm Stadium provides a dedicated Sensory Room. This quiet area offers sensory activities, low lighting, and comfortable seating.” statefarmstadium.com
“One of the major barriers for these individuals is sensitivity to over stimulation and noise, which is an enormous part of the environment at State Farm Stadium.”
The stadium describes its Sensory Room without naming particular events, and the Cardinals and Vrbo Fiesta Bowl pages list it too. Sensory Room hours aren't listed.
The stadium lists its Guest Services locations on the Main Concourse at Gate 1 (Section 104) and Gate 2 (Section 123), a Mobile Desk at Gate 3, and the Upper Concourse at Sections 417 and 448.
Child Safety Wristbands, where you write your child's ticket location or a phone number, are at the Guest Services Booths.

Children's tickets: for Cardinals games, a child 24 months or younger can get in with a lap pass from the staff scanning tickets at the gate (one per adult ticket, and the child must be there). For other events, everyone beyond their 2nd birthday needs a ticket and some events set their own rules; for the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl, all guests, regardless of age, require a ticket.
Tickets are digital, sold on SeatGeek.com. The stadium is cashless, including parking; Cash-to-Card kiosks are inside.
For Cardinals games and the Fiesta Bowl, bottles, formula and food items must be unopened, carried in an approved size clear plastic bag and be accompanied by a child or infant under 2. Breast pump supplies are allowed at any gate and are searched. If your child must bring special food for dietary or medical needs, contact askquestions@cardinals.nfl.net or 602/379-0101 before a Cardinals game, or guestservices@statefarmstadium.com before the Fiesta Bowl.
Each guest may bring one factory-sealed, non-frozen 500 mL (16.9 fl. oz.) plain bottle of water; sports drinks and flavored water aren't allowed. Free hydration stations are outside security at each main gate.
Non-compliant bags can go to Mobile Bag Check outside the secured perimeter on Cardinals game days for $20 per bag.
The Cardinals and Fiesta Bowl pages say changing materials for all ages and sizes are at all Guest Services Booths. Family restrooms are on the Main, Club and Terrace concourses, and Privacy/Nursing Rooms are on the Club Level at Section 230.
First Aid is on the Main Level near Sections 122 and 136 and the Terrace Level near Sections 416 and 448. For help during an event, text the Gameday Text Message Hotline at 623-400-2210 with your section, row and seat, or ask the nearest stadium staff member.
