The Arizona Cardinals played at State Farm Stadium in Glendale against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, Dec. 8, 2025. They lost by a score of 45-17 and many fans started leaving around the start of the fourth quarter, including myself. There were many interesting things such as food, entertainment, and many more about the stadium.

One of the refreshments I had was some popcorn that I could refill . The popcorn was decent, but some kernels were more buttered than others. It was nothing special; my rating is a 7/10.  

I also tried a chili cheese dog. I got this before the game started, and ate it at halftime, so it wasn’t fresh. The chili cheese dog was really filling, but since it wasn’t fresh, it wasn’t as good as if it was fresh. I give it a 6.4/10, but if I ate it fresh, the chili cheese dog would’ve been an 8/10. The lines for both food items weren’t too long, but definitely not empty and took about five minutes to get food from concessions.

There was a lot of entertainment besides the game. First, there was artist, David Garibaldi, who drew three players: Trey McBride, Calais Cambell, and Budda Baker. He did all of that in what felt like five minutes, but he took his time. There were also singers before the stadium (outside) and some neat and fun performances. For example, the cheerleaders I saw were in the stadium and in events well before the game started. Also, right before the game there was the Big Red Siren, which operated with a hand crank, which I thought was very cool. The Big Red Siren is used in every pre-game for the Cardinals to get the crowd hyped up and to let the players run onto the field.

Unfortunately, the Cardinals didn’t do very well. A lot of people left early and for a good reason. They couldn’t get anything going on offense in the second half, and the Rams kept scoring. It became a blowout in the third quarter, so it wasn’t the best game to watch as a Cardinals fan. The Rams are one of the best teams in the NFL, and their performance was fun to watch and a better example of how a team should play. In total, I’ve attended Cardinals games four times, and they’ve lost every time I’ve attended.

Overall, my rating for the whole experience at the State Farm stadium is a 7.4/10. I did enjoy it for the most part, but I’m positive that there’s other, better stadiums that exist.
