Super Bowl Events in Phoenix

by Judy Hedding

Parties and Special Activities Lead up to Super Bowl XLII

Even if you aren't attending the actual Super Bowl, you can enjoy lots of activities other than the big game itself.

Dozens of events are staged each year during Super Bowl week as well as in the months leading up to it. Some of them are handled by the NFL, like the NFL Experience, Taste of the NFL, and Game Day Hospitality, and some will be locally hosted by the Arizona Super Bowl XLII Host Committee. There are even some events that are sponsored by other promoters and private entities. As I hear about them, I will add them here.

If you are trying to figure out the best place to stay to be near the events and parties that interest you the most, this map will help.
