Football fans are very committed fans. Have you ever heard a friend joke that some people treat football like a religion? They’re probably only sort of kidding. When it comes to the Super Bowl, many fans take the Super Bowl very seriously. If you’re in need of proof, consider the fact that the cheapest Super Bowl LVII ticket might be over $4K. Yep, you did in fact read that right. Tack on a travel package complete with a hotel and event reservations and you might be looking at college tuition-level prices for one weekend. But listen, we get it! It’s the Super Bowl, okay?

For some, it’s a once in a lifetime experience. For others, it’s their annual tradition, their necessary experience, and they plan for it way in advance. Regardless of what the Super Bowl LVII will look like for you, we know you probably have a handful of questions to ask. If you are anything like us, you do have questions, you also want the scoop on what to do and what not to do when making your Super Bowl week schedule, and you probably also wouldn’t mind recommendations for exciting activities to see and do in the area.

Have you heard that over one hundred events, entertainment, and parties will be in your vicinity when you get to Phoenix this year? That’s correct! Keep in mind that many of the events require pre-purchased tickets, so remember to include that in your Super Bowl LVII budget! Here’s a fun fact though: some of the events you can attend regardless of whether or not you have a ticket to the game or not! We love to see that inclusion. 

You’re probably wondering about travel logistics too. Will there be an easy way to get from your resort to State Farm Stadium? We’ve done that work for you too! Check out our other articles in this Super Bowl LVII series, for all the details you’ll want and more. Parts of Phoenix are fairly walkable and bikeable, so that’s really nice to know for those of you who love exercise or just getting outside. If you are driving in your own vehicle, find out ahead of time where you’ll be able to park at your individual resort! We have got you covered on Super Bowl parking lot logistics and times and payment options. 

The Phoenix, Arizona airport that most people will be flying into is the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, or PHX. The airport is a convenient twenty minute drive from the State Farm stadium where the Super Bowl LVII is being held! 

We have great hotel suggestions as well as a lengthy list of fun-filled activities that you can check out and select from depending on the length of your stay. If you’re new to the Super Bowl tradition or simply new to the Phoenix area, you might be feeling hesitant, curious, or under-prepared. We’re here to say we completely understand those feelings and we’ve got you covered. Phoenix is home to the Sonoran Desert as well as some really fascinating museums, mansions with back stories, and even a nearby ghost town! Start planning your Super Bowl LVII trip now so that you give yourself the time to schedule (and save!) for some added bonus enjoyment. Might as well while you’re visiting a new city, right?

You might be concerned about one thing other than a few basic logistics. What are you going to eat? Will you miss out on delicious places? Have no fear, we’re compiled a list of great options to try! Planning your meals and even having a few backup ideas in the back of your mind really might be a stellar idea for you on this particular trip, because as you’ll soon see, the Super Bowl trip is not like a normal vacation. Planning isn’t just suggested, it’s really imperative to eliminating stress in a chaotic week that leads up to a ginormous sports event. 

The other thing that you will want to keep in mind, is that Super Bowl travelers are usually experienced at the hectic chaos of the event, and first time attendees might be overwhelmed for a minute upon arrival. Everyone does their Super Bowl experience differently, and that’s encouraged! If you get tired, head back to the resort and relax before going out for a delicious meal. If you don’t care about going on tours, but you’re ecstatic to meet the NFL players, we recommend that you look into tickets for the events where you can meet them! If you want a bit of both, there’s absolutely time to do that so long as you come several days in advance of Super Bowl Sunday. There’s truly something for everyone during Super Bowl week. Foodies, adventurers, hiking fanatics, big-time partiers, golfers, history-buffs, music fans, and oh… that’s right, football fans!
