State Farm Stadium divides parking into general Blue Lots and preferred Red Lots. Sportsman's Park serves both pre-sold permit holders and single-game visitors, and parking areas accept credit cards rather than cash. Tailgating takes place in the team-controlled lots and Sportsman's Park, where game-day ticket members may use a 10 by 10 foot shade tent on the grass.

Tips & Fan Reports
What fans who park here actually do, and what it cost them.
Drive to the AMC at Westgate and park there. It is way easier to get out than the stadium lots. You can also Uber from Scottsdale but that is a 30-minute ride with game day traffic, probably more.
Buy a parking pass from scalpers on Camelback and Indian School Road on the way to the stadium. It's a common thing - just negotiate.
Shade tents at Sportsman's Park must fit the permitted 10 by 10 foot footprint on the grass.
For Sportsman's Park accessible spaces, bring both a valid Cardinals mobile parking pass and a state-issued ADA hangtag or license plate.
It is about 30 minutes from Sky Harbor Airport.
Exit at Cardinals Way from the south and Glendale Avenue from the north.
For the red lots the stadium suggests searching WAZE for 'Red Lot - State Farm Stadium' rather than the stadium itself.
Blue lots come off Glendale Avenue or Cardinals Way; red lots only from Maryland Avenue and 95th Avenue.
