The NHL's Phoenix Coyotes and NLL's Arizona Sting began playing here when Jobing.com Arena (formerly the 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 “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 Towne Center mall in the northwest part of the city.

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