Glendale is a city in Maricopa County, Arizona, USA. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 218,812; it is a major satelite city of Phoenix.

The NHL's Phoenix Coyotes and NLL's Arizona Sting began playing here when Glendale Arena opened in December 2003. The NFL's Arizona Cardinals are building a new stadium here, and will move to the new facility in the fall of 2006. In 2008, Super Bowl XLII is scheduled to be played there. Both venues are part of the Westgate development plan, meant to spur growth in the sparsely habitated Yucca district.

Glendale bills itself as “Arizona’s Antique Capital,” with support for its claim from both Sunset Magazine (2004) and a 1998 article in USA Today. Glendale is home to the popular Arrowhead mall in the north-west part of the city. It is also hometown for up-and-coming singer Jordin Sparks and was the home of country singer/NASCAR driver Marty Robbins.
