Super Bowl, Here I Come!

It's time to drive north tomorrow...to Phoenix, actually, Glendale...for Super Bowl weekend. I'll be staying in Scottsdale and attending an arts festival there, in addition to having some fun with the Super Bowl events. The entire Phoenix metro area (Glendale, Scottsdale, Tempe) are all going crazy, as you can imagine, to hold events during the weekend. This is a HUGE event for the area, and they are going to take advantage of it.

For my family and friends living in the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area, this will give them a glimpse of what the Super Bowl will be like when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys new stadium complex in 2011.

Below is a short list of events. I'm not sure which ones I'll check out, but it should be fun.
