More than 200 ABM professionals help keep the 1.7-million-square-foot venue ready for Cardinals games, concerts, and major events
NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As the 2026 NFL season gets underway, ABM (NYSE: ABM), a leading provider of facility, engineering, and infrastructure solutions, is highlighting a longstanding partnership that helps keep State Farm Stadium clean, welcoming, and ready for game days and other major events. Since 2022, more than 200 ABM professionals have supported janitorial services across the 1.7-million-square-foot venue, helping prepare the stadium for Cardinals games, concerts, and other high-profile events throughout the year.
Behind every Cardinals game, concert, and major event is an experienced onsite janitorial team supporting the thousands of fans and guests who pass through State Farm Stadium’s turnstiles. Drawing on ABM’s deep sports and entertainment experience, these professionals help meet the demands of one of the region’s busiest venues.
“Great fan experiences start long before the gates open, and our team understands the tremendous amount of work and attention to detail required behind the scenes,” said Valerie Burd, President of Business & Industry, ABM. “They know the important role they play in delivering a first-class experience for every fan, player, employee, and visitor. We’re excited to build on that foundation through our partnership with the Cardinals.”
Opened in 2006, State Farm Stadium is home to the Arizona Cardinals and has become one of the nation’s most recognizable sports and entertainment destinations. The 63,400-seat venue has hosted three Super Bowls, the NCAA Men’s Final Four, the annual Fiesta Bowl, and major concerts and events. Its retractable roof and innovative natural-grass field tray allow the stadium to transform for events of dramatically different scale and format.
“The best venue experiences feel effortless to the fan, but making them feel that way takes incredible coordination and strategy,” said Brian Grant, Vice President, Sports & Entertainment, ABM. “Our onsite team understands the rhythm of this building: what has to happen before an event, what it takes to perform when tens of thousands of people arrive, and how quickly the venue needs to be ready for whatever comes next. They take real pride in helping State Farm Stadium shine.”
The relationship also extends beyond the stadium through ABM’s support of Cardinals Climb Hike for Special Needs, an Arizona Cardinals Foundation initiative benefiting organizations that serve individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The initiative reflects a shared commitment to making a positive impact not only on the experiences taking place inside the stadium, but throughout the Arizona community.
The Cardinals partnership further strengthens ABM’s presence in the Phoenix sports and entertainment market, where ABM teams support venues across professional football, baseball, and basketball. Nationwide, ABM serves many of the country’s leading stadiums, arenas, and entertainment destinations, providing scalable facility solutions designed to help create clean, safe and enjoyable environments for fans, teams, and staff.
