Arizona Cardinals fans will likely be able to see sunshine during Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions.

The team announced Friday that the State Farm Stadium roof is expected to be open for the contest.

The roof was last opened three weeks ago when the Cardinals hosted the Raiders.

Sunday’s weather in Glendale is supposed to be a high of 69 degrees and sunny, according to the National Weather Service.

The Cardinals (3-9) return home after defeating the Green Bay Packers, 20-17, at Lambeau Field last Sunday.

It is the team’s second to last home game of the season.

The Cardinals will host the Los Angeles Rams in their home finale on Dec. 23.
