Tillman Plaza and Memorial
The Pat Tillman Memorial is located in a prominent but reflective area just off the northwest section of the stadium plaza, known as the Tillman Plaza. Both the plaza and memorial are open for viewing by fans during their visit to the stadium. The memorial was conceived and designed by Peter Eisenman and Michael Dollin, the same designers who designed Sportsman’s Park (parking lot), the 160-acre parcel that surrounds the stadium. The memorial consists of a bronze statue of Pat Tillman in a pose familiar to all fans. The statue was sculpted by Omri Amrany, an expert in this art form. Opposite the statue is a 60 foot diameter negative edge reflecting pool. The pool has a low seat wall that allows fans to experience the memorial and creates a fitting remembrance of the Arizona State Sun Devil, Arizona Cardinal and US Army Ranger. All money collected in the reflecting pool is donated to the Tillman Foundation.

Fans will experience crystal-clear live action and instant replays on a video board that contains over three million pixels (3,296,236), more than seven times the resolution of the previous north video board (450,560).
