Final national title game played at Sun Devil Stadium



TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- Adios, Sun Devil Stadium.
Friday's Ohio State-Miami game was almost certainly the last national championship game at Sun Devil Stadium.
The stadium carved into the rock at the edge of the Arizona State campus has hosted the Fiesta Bowl since its inception in 1971.
But the game is moving across Phoenix to the western suburb of Glendale when the Arizona Cardinals' new state-of-the-art stadium is completed, possibly in time for the 2006 game.
If the BCS is still around, the Fiesta's next turn for a title game would be in 2007.
The $358 million stadium is to have a retractable roof and a natural grass field that slides outdoors like a kitchen cutting board when not in use.
The stadium was approved by voters two years ago but construction has been delayed by a lawsuit and political squabbling over a site. Groundbreaking now is expected later this month.
The stadium will be built near the new arena for the NHL's Phoenix Coyotes.
