The Arizona Cardinals Football Club today broke ground on the organization’s new performance center and team headquarters located in North Phoenix at Paradise Ridge this morning.
The 217-acre property positioned west of Scottsdale Road and north of the Loop 101 was purchased at auction from the Arizona State Land Department for $136 million by an affiliate of the team. The new Cardinals performance center and business operations will anchor the mixed-use development site, occupying 30 acres and over 250,000 square feet. The footprint of the team’s current facility is 14 acres and 156,000 square feet.
The new facility will feature three natural-grass outdoor practice fields and a fieldhouse with a full-size turf field indoors. Additional elements of the world-class performance center will include a greatly expanded and modern locker room and state-of-the-art team spaces for athletic training, sports medicine and strength and conditioning in addition to updated dining areas, meeting rooms, a player lounge and more.
