PHOENIX — Two of the Valley’s premier sports venues are raising the bar — and the price tag — when it comes to gameday experiences . This week, State Farm Stadium and the Arizona Cardinals announced a new premium dining venture called Casa Roja at the Fifty , an underground, exclusive restaurant set to debut in September. The high-end space will only be accessible to fans seated in 500 newly designated theater-style midfield seats priced between $15,000 and $17,000 for the season.
In partnership with Sam Fox, the restaurant will be located on the stadium’s east side directly at the 50-yard line. Casa Roja will be open 90 minutes before kickoff and remain accessible up to an hour after the final whistle. Members will also receive reserved parking and early access to other stadium events.
The Cardinals aren’t the only local franchise doubling down on luxury. Just down the road, the Phoenix Suns have already rolled out their version of premium hospitality at Footprint Center with The RaRa Room , a members-only dinner club launched last November. Created through a partnership between Suns owner Mat Ishbia’s Player 15 Group and Major Food Group, the RaRa Room sits on the arena’s event level and offers an exclusive atmosphere — for those who can afford it.
Entry costs $15,000 per year and requires an application. That price only covers access, which includes a personal concierge, valet parking, presale event access, and space for a guest. Meals and drinks come at a steep price — with elegant entrées ranging from $30 to $70, and steaks reaching as high as $250, not including luxury wines and cocktails.
The elevated offerings signal a new era in the Valley’s live sports scene — where fans with the means can experience games in style, and stadiums embrace fine dining as part of their gameday identity. This article first appeared on Burn City Sports and was syndicated with permission..
