You don't have to be a football expert to appreciate the University of Phoenix Stadium tour. All you have to is have a basic understanding of football and an appreciation for the enormity of the project and the creativity of the designers. One of the most popular stops on the tour is the stadium floor, where you'll learn about the seating configurations. Always a popular topic, you'll hear about the roof of the stadium and learn about it's unique design and purpose.
Here's a general comment of my own, and not necessarily put forth by University of Phoenix Stadium staff. This tour isn't so much about kids. There are no hands-on activities during the tour, and I wouldn't expect to see any athletes there. No mascots, hot dogs, music, Kid Zones. University of Phoenix Stadium is a very quiet place on non-game days, and the group is required to stay together for security purposes. The tour lasts about an hour and 15 minutes. If you have an older child that can handle over an hour of listening to lecture and has an interest in football, then he or she can appreciate this tour. Otherwise, I'd leave the kids home.
University of Phoenix Stadium Tour Tip: Bring your own water, as concessions are not open during most tour times. The tour works for both wheelchairs and strollers; the few steps that you'll come across aren't required to enjoy the tour.
