Price-check the stadium's event nights first. Summer is cheapest, and the 15.17% tax is there all year

The Cardinals play their home games at State Farm Stadium, mostly on Sundays, and the stadium also hosts the Fiesta Bowl and concerts. Those are the nights to price-check, since no source we found splits weekday from weekend rates anywhere in the valley. Spring training brings its own crowd, with the Dodgers and White Sox playing Cactus League games at Camelback Ranch in Glendale. It comes right after Barrett-Jackson and the WM Phoenix Open in Scottsdale, and together they make late January through mid-March the dates to steer around.

Summer is when rates drop. June through early September is the lowest stretch, with July and August falling furthest, and daytime temperatures from June to August reach the mid-100s. Experience Scottsdale puts summer discounts at up to 60 percent, though it says that of Scottsdale. December through February is peak and March still carries peak rates. April and May ease, and October and November are the shoulder months, cheaper than winter until holiday traffic builds.

Glendale's 15.17% room tax (the city's 2.9% and 5% additional, the state's 5.5% and Maricopa County's 1.77%) sits above Phoenix at 13.07% and Tempe at 14.07%. Staybridge and Holiday Inn Express park you free, per IHG, and the Renaissance charges $20 self or $26 valet. The rest that publish a rate ask $10 to $18 a day. Tru and Home2 are a 13-minute walk from the stadium, and SpringHill, the farthest, is 29.
