What was the original name of the State Farm Stadium?
The Cardinals Stadium was the original name of the State Farm Stadium when it opened in 2006. But later that year, it changed its name to the University of Phoenix Stadium after signing a 20-year contract with the University of Phoenix, which requested the name change.
But in September 2018, State Farm, an insurance provider, agreed to an 18-year naming rights agreement, and the arena was given its present identity.
