Peter Eisenman University of Phoenix Stadium for the Arizona Cardinals

Seminal theoretician and influential architect Peter Eisenman is also an irrepressible sports fanatic. In this revealing look into his design for the Arizona Cardinals football team's new home, Eisenman brings viewers inside the venue that represents the culmination of nearly a decade of work, explaining his intentions as he tours the stadium's spaces. The structure's facade is ringed by a series of alternating vertical glass slots and reflecting metallic panels, and is modeled after the shape of a barrel cactus. Featuring the first fully retractable natural grass playing field built in the U.S., Eisenman's arena also includes interior design elements meant to enhance the stadium experience for both players and fans.
