PHOENIX-Competition for the $335-million football stadium is heating up–some say the battle is hotter than the Cardinal’s weekly performance

Tempe today will officially offer a site of its own to the Tourism and Sport Authority, which will decide in the next few months where to build the domed stadium.

Tempe Mayor Neil Giuliano plans to withdraw another site the city had posited and instead offer a 64-acre parcel in Papago Park Center, a 350-acre business park.

Tempe is a suburb next to Phoenix and home to Arizona State University.
