A source close to the matter told the New York Times that he was armed with at least one gun and a knife.
He is said to have displayed “suspicious behaviour” before being nabbed by secret service agents.
When authorities approached him, he claimed to be a member of law enforcement and said he was armed, the service said.
Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi told Fox News: “The US Secret Service in coordination with local law enforcement in Glendale, Arizona, is investigating an individual who was observed exhibiting suspicious behaviour at State Farm Stadium.”
