Glendale Wedding

Glendale is a city in Maricopa County, Arizona, USA. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 218,812, while the mid-decade Census survey estimated the population as of 2005 to be 242,369; it is a major satellite city of Phoenix.

The NHL's Phoenix Coyotes and NLL's Arizona Sting began playing here when Glendale Arena opened in December 2003. Also in Glendale is the new University of Phoenix Stadium, home of the NFL's Arizona Cardinals, which opened in August 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 Arizonas 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.

The city will host an extension of the Valley Metro light rail link by perhaps 2011.

Glendale is located at 333451N, 1121158W (33.580726, -112.199309)GR1.
