From the locker room to the luxury lounge, VYP got the VIP tour!

Valley Young Professionals got an exclusive look inside State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals, for an evening packed with connections, insights, and a behind the curtain tour of this iconic venue.

Attendees heard directly from stadium leadership about what it takes to operate a world class destination that hosts a variety of major events including NFL games, Super Bowls, to concerts, Final Four tournaments, and other large-scale events.

The group received an exclusive guided tour through some of the stadium’s most exciting spaces. From field level access and premium views to the luxury lounge, visitor locker room, and the press conference room for a fun photo op, VYP members experienced the stadium like never before. 📸

A big thank you to the team at State Farm Stadium for welcoming our VYP community and giving us a closer look at what makes this Arizona landmark such a powerhouse for events. 👏
