Luxury Meets Innovation: The Casitas at State Farm Stadium Explained:

How StageRight Helped Support the New Casitas Luxury Suites at State Farm Stadium

April 9th, 2025

“We are going to be relentless in pursuing a great fan experience, continuing to innovate to modernize our business. This is one step in that.” — Jeremy Walls, Arizona Cardinals Chief Operating Officer (Fox Sports)

At State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals, the challenge was clear: How do you transform an open horseshoe-shaped end zone—designed to accommodate the stadium’s retractable field—into a premium seating experience without compromising functionality? The answer came in the form of the Casitas, an unprecedented blend of VIP suite luxury and prime sideline views, made possible through a collaborative effort between multiple companies, including StageRight.

A Unique Challenge, A Game-Changing Solution

Unlike most NFL stadiums with fully enclosed seating bowls, State Farm Stadium features a retractable natural grass field that must be moved outside to maintain peak playing conditions. This design leaves one end of the stadium without permanent seating, which is traditionally seen as a limitation. But instead of viewing this space as lost potential, the Cardinals saw an opportunity to redefine luxury seating.

Ultimately, the goal was to create a modular, movable luxury seating concept that would blend the exclusivity of a suite with the immersion of field-level seating. The solution? A completely transportable system built on StageRight’s modular platforms and decks. This supports SteelBiltt’s innovative tiny houses and serves as the foundation for each Casita.

The Casitas: A First-of-Its-Kind NFL Luxury Experience

According to Jeremy Walls, “They are your own home — literally in our end zone. Each Casita has a great room where you can host your family and your friends — and your customers. It also has a private front porch right on top of the action. And then everyone also has their private roof deck, so you have a variety of different places you can watch the game from and an experience that hasn’t been seen in an NFL stadium to date.”

These two-story, custom-designed luxury suites provide an unparalleled experience for up to 20 guests, featuring:
✔ A furnished interior for a comfortable and private atmosphere
✔ A front porch right next to the action for an immersive view
✔ A rooftop deck offering panoramic stadium views
✔ All-inclusive food and beverage service
✔ Valet parking and a private stadium entrance

Why StageRight?

✔ Hundreds of modular decks – Designed to create a sturdy, premium-level viewing area
✔ Elevated platform seating – Offering end-zone views like never before
✔ A custom-built ramp for accessibility – Ensuring an inclusive luxury experience
✔ Seamless integration with SteelBiltt’s tiny house suites – Allowing for quick and efficient movement when the field needs to be relocated

A New Era of Stadium Seating

In other words, the Casitas don’t just provide luxury—they set a new standard for how premium seating can be designed. They prove that stadium architecture can be both functional and experiential, creating an immersive game-day experience while still maintaining the flexibility that State Farm Stadium requires.

Additionally, as the Cardinals continue to push the boundaries of fan experiences, these modular luxury seating solutions stand as proof that innovation is the key to the future of stadium design.
