About Glendale Traffic
Glendale sits in the heart of the West Valley, a city of roughly 250,000 in Maricopa County that has transformed from "Arizona's Antique Capital" into one of the Phoenix metro's premier sports and entertainment destinations. Residents face an average one-way commute of 27.6 minutes, with roughly 1 in 10 workers enduring "super-commutes" of over an hour. Glendale was recently ranked as the 4th worst city for commutes in the United States, reflecting the intense pressure on West Valley corridors. State Farm Stadium and Desert Diamond Arena anchor the Westgate Entertainment District, drawing millions of visitors annually for Cardinals games, Super Bowls, Fiesta Bowls, College Football Playoff games, concerts, and motorsports events.
On non-event days, Glendale traffic follows predictable suburban commuter patterns — most residents head east toward downtown Phoenix for work via Loop 101 or I-17. But when 63,000+ fans descend on the stadium district, the West Valley's highway network transforms completely. Loop 101 between Bethany Home Road and Camelback Road can gridlock for hours, surface streets back up for miles, and the Westgate Entertainment District fills well before kickoff.
Glendale traffic is uniquely event-driven. A Sunday afternoon Cardinals game can turn a 15-minute drive on Loop 101 into a 90-minute crawl. Always check the Cardinals schedule before planning West Valley travel during NFL season.
Luke Air Force Base, one of the world's largest fighter pilot training installations, occupies western Glendale near Litchfield Road. Military shift changes create localized traffic pulses on Litchfield Road and nearby arterials, though the impact is modest compared to stadium events.

VIEW GLENDALE CAMERAS →Glendale Avenue
Glendale Avenue runs east-west through the heart of the city, connecting Historic Downtown Glendale near 58th Avenue to the Westgate Entertainment District at Loop 101. This arterial carries heavy commercial traffic, with recent ADOT counts recording an AADT of over 44,000 vehicles near the city center. It becomes particularly congested during stadium events when fans use surface streets to access parking areas.
Users can also monitor live street feeds along 59th Avenue and Northern Avenue to check for road-level gridlock near the historic center or local school zones.

BUILD YOUR ROUTE →State Farm Stadium Events
State Farm Stadium (capacity 63,400, expandable to 72,200 with a retractable roof and field) hosts events that bring national and international attention to Glendale — and massive traffic to the West Valley.
Major Stadium Events
- Cardinals Games: 8+ regular season home games, potential playoffs
- Super Bowl: Hosted in 2008, 2015, and 2023
- Fiesta Bowl: Annual major college football bowl game
- College Football Playoff: Semifinal and championship games
- Concerts: Major touring artists at stadium capacity
- Monster Jam: Motorsports events drawing large crowds
Event Day Traffic Strategy
Traffic safety is a major regional concern, as Glendale recorded 5,171 total crashes in 2022, including 33 fatalities, making real-time intersection monitoring a critical tool for local drivers. According to ADOT research, real-time visual information from systems like AZ511 is essential for managing the massive influx of over 60,000 fans during major stadium events.
Stadium events can turn a normal 15-minute drive into a 2+ hour ordeal. Plan accordingly and monitor cameras before, during, and after events.
Check the Schedule
Review the Cardinals and stadium event calendar before any Glendale trip. Even mid-week concerts create major congestion.
Arrive Early
Get to the stadium area 2-3 hours before NFL games, even longer for Super Bowl or playoff games. The Westgate Entertainment District fills early.
Monitor Loop 101 Cameras
Check live camera feeds on Loop 101 between Bethany Home Road and Camelback Road — the primary stadium access corridor.
Use Alternate Routes
When Loop 101 shows event traffic, switch to I-17 or Loop 303 to bypass the stadium area entirely.
Plan Your Exit
Stay 30-60 minutes after the event ends, or face 2+ hour delays. Monitor cameras to see when traffic clears before leaving.
Rush Hour Patterns
Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport Access
Glendale is approximately 15-20 miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Two primary routes connect the West Valley to the airport, with travel times varying dramatically based on traffic and events.
Airport Routes from Glendale
- I-17 Route — I-17 south to I-10 east — most direct, 25-40 minutes
- Loop 101 Route — Loop 101 south to I-10 east — 30-50 minutes, avoid during events
- Event Day Rule — Use I-17 exclusively when stadium events are scheduled
- Buffer Time — Allow 60-90 minutes during events or rush hour
Seasonal Traffic Patterns
NFL Season (September-January)
Cardinals home games occur roughly every other weekend. Sunday afternoon games create the largest traffic impact, with congestion beginning 3 hours before kickoff and lasting 1-2 hours after the final whistle. Monday Night Football draws national attention and even heavier traffic. Playoff games are unpredictable and can overwhelm the area.
Bowl Season (December-January)
The Fiesta Bowl and potential College Football Playoff games bring massive national crowds unfamiliar with local roads. Hotels fill throughout the Phoenix metro, and stadium area traffic can be worse than regular season due to visitors unfamiliar with the area's road network.
Summer (June-September)
The NFL off-season means minimal stadium events, though concert season brings occasional large crowds. Extreme heat (115°F+) can cause tire blowouts and vehicle breakdowns, creating unexpected hazards on highways. Monsoon season (July-September) brings sudden dust storms and flash flooding that can close roads without warning.
