Arizona Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill provided an update on the team’s performance center at the new practice facility that is expected to be open by summer 2028.
Bidwill told KTAR News 92.3 FM’s The Mike Broomhead Show Thursday that the new center in north Phoenix is under construction and pouring concrete for the foundations is expected to begin in the next several days.
“Things are going along at a lightning pace. We’ll be in the building in 23 months,” Bidwill said.

The new site, located near Scottsdale Road and the Loop 101 Pima Freeway, will replace the long-time Tempe facility. Bidwill added that the construction on the new facilities will be visible to drivers from Scottsdale Road and the Loop 101.
“It’s gonna be an exciting time for the Cardinals and a very visible building. (It will) have a huge impact on the area up there,” Bidwill said.
The Cardinals broke ground on the new practice facility in February. The team purchased the parcel of land that spans 217 acres last year at a state land auction. 30 of the acres will be used for the performance center and the team’s headquarters.
Along with a performance center, Dignity Health is planning to build a 300,000-square-foot medical campus at the new site. The campus will feature several facilities, including a sports medicine institute and Barrow Neurological Institute services, imaging and outpatient surgery and more. Phase 1 of construction on the new medical campus is set to begin in 2027.

New GM's, new coachs, new stadium, new facility, new players, same horrible, cheap losing culture by the Bidwills.
I hope this team gets sold to someone who wants to build a winner in my lifetime
Bidwill...apparently more building contractor than team owner by the look of things...
