From 1988 until 2006, the Arizona Cardinals played their home games at Sun Devil Stadium, a college football stadium in nearby Tempe, Arizona.

Hard Rock Stadium Seating Chart, Miami Dolphins

Hard Rock Stadium has been through a lot since debuting in 1987 including several different name changes, and a complete restructuring in it’s architecture. The stadium was even once home to Major League Baseball’s Miami Marlins (then called the Florida Marlins), and has hosted several Super Bowls. Both the team and fan base often leave much to be desired, however, which is typical for professional sports teams in Florida.

Nevertheless, Hard Rock Stadium is a modern NFL stadium that provides a family-friendly experience for fans. Our staff wanted to provide a thorough breakdown of the Hard Rock Stadium seating chart to help football fans decide where to sit before purchasing their Miami Dolphins tickets.

Our staff wanted to provide a thorough breakdown of the TIAA Bank Field seating chart to help football fans decide where to sit before purchasing their Jacksonville Jaguars tickets.

Raymond James Stadium Seating Chart, Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

Raymond James Stadium could easily be characterized as an aesthetic stadium that offers the perfect climate for football, and a more affordable NFL experience compared to other NFL stadiums.

Petco Park Seating Chart, San Diego Padres 

It wouldn’t be fitting for America’s finest city to not have an amazing ballpark for it's baseball team; and Petco Park is just that. Although Petco Park has long been considered a boring pitcher-friendly ballpark, the stadium is perhaps the most underrated ballpark in Major League Baseball. Families will love the outfield entertainment area which offers something for everyone.
