2028 Scheduled Opening

The Arizona Cardinals have revised their plans for a new training facility in Phoenix. On Tuesday, the team announced they will build a state-of-the-art complex at Paradise Ridge in north Phoenix. The site is located just west of Scottsdale Road and north of the Loop 101 freeway. The team’s current practice facility is in Tempe, where the Cardinals have trained since 1990. Team officials described the project as a significant investment in the organization’s future, aiming to provide upgraded training resources, modern amenities, and an enhanced environment to support player performance and development. Development plans include three grass outdoor practice fields and a fieldhouse with a full-size turf field indoors. Scheduled to be completed in 2028, the facility will also serve as a cornerstone for the Cardinals’ long-term presence in Metro Phoenix and Arizona.

The Cardinals have updated their plans for their new training facility, announcing on Tuesday they will create a new building at Paradise Ridge in north Phoenix, west of Scottsdale Road and north of the Loop 101.

The new facility, which will house both the football and business operations, will be the anchor to a mixed-use, 217-acre site. The Cardinals’ facility will take up 30 of those acres and total more than 250,000 square feet. It is scheduled to be completed in 2028.

The Cardinals bought the property at auction in the summer for $136 million.

The team’s current Dignity Health Training Center in Tempe, where the Cardinals have trained since 1990, is 14 acres and 156,000 square feet. The team had previously considered upgrading the current Tempe location, but decided to adjust after further examination.

“Our goal has always been to provide our players and coaches with the best possible environment to prepare and perform at the highest level,” Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill said in a statement. “As we evaluated our options, it became clear that we needed more space than what was available at our current location or elsewhere in Tempe. We are deeply grateful to the City of Tempe for its incredible support over the past three decades and for its continued partnership. And we are just as excited to welcome this new chapter in our team’s history.”

Rossetti, a leading sports architecture firm that has collaborated with a number of other teams with their new facilities, will work with the Cardinals on the design.

“The Arizona Cardinals’ new headquarters and state-of-the-art practice facility is an exciting, welcome addition to our city’s Headquarters Alley,” Phoenix mayor Kate Gallego said in a statement. “I’m grateful for this game-changing investment and the energy this project will bring to our community.”

The new facility will have three grass outdoor practice fields and a fieldhouse with a full-size turf field indoors. The complex will also have a greatly expanded and modernized locker room, state-of-the-art spaces for the weight room, strength and conditioning, sports medicine and athletic training, meeting rooms, and a player lounge.

The team will also work with the the city of Phoenix and the Arizona Commerce Authority to populate the remaining mixed-use area, with possibilities including corporate headquarters, restaurants, retail, medical facilities and residential spots.

Tempe-based Dutch Bros Coffee plans to acquire 51 former Salad and Go locations after the fast-casual chain filed for bankruptcy, with the ongoing cyclosporiasis outbreak contributing to its collapse. Court documents filed Tuesday in federal bankruptcy court identify a Dutch Bros-affiliated LLC as the buyer of dozens of Salad and Go restaurants in Arizona and Nevada, along with leases for additional former locations in Texas and Oklahoma. #saladandgo #dutchbros #dutchbroscoffee #tempeaz #drivethru
Salad and Go filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Monday and announced it will permanently close all of its locations, serving its final meals Wednesday. The Gilbert-founded drive-thru restaurant chain submitted voluntary bankruptcy petitions in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas in Houston.

The company said declining consumer demand, rapid expansion challenges, and rising operating costs made its business unsustainable. Salad and Go also said the Cyclospora foodborne illness outbreak in July hurt sales, even though health officials did not link the chain to the contamination. #saladandgo #gilbertaz #cyclospora #bankruptcy #chapter11
