Cardinals fans planning to attend Sunday's home game against the New York Jets are advised to arrive early at State Farm Stadium. The advice comes as a result of expected traffic congestion due to a race taking place at Phoenix Raceway.

The game is scheduled for a 2:25 PM kickoff. Traffic on the I-10 freeway is anticipated to be heavier both in the morning and after the game, attributed to the concurrent events. To alleviate potential delays, all Cardinals parking lots will open at 10:15 AM on Sunday, with main stadium gates opening at 12:45 PM.

Fans are encouraged to consider alternative routes when leaving the stadium post-game, such as using the 101 North to the 17 South or SR51, instead of the I-10 freeway.

For those arriving early, several entertainment options will be available. The BetMGM Sportsbook opens at 8:00 AM, followed by The Great Lawn and Heritage at Sportsman's Park at 10:15 AM. Additionally, Cardinals Flight Deck on the plaza outside State Farm Stadium and Club Gates will open at 10:45 AM.

A game day parking map and further parking information can be accessed on the Cardinals' website. Fans are also encouraged to check current traffic conditions via https://www.az511.com/ before heading out.
