Super
Bowl XLII Travel Information - Presented by Sports
Traveler
The home of the Arizona Cardinals is hosting the
2008 Super Bowl XLII on February 3rd
at brand new University of Phoenix Stadium in
Glendale, Arizona. Seating up to 73,000 sports fans,
this game is going to be an experience you will not
want to miss. This state of the art, $455 million
facility, was constructed in 2006, and qualified as
one of Business Week's 10 most
impressive sports facilities on the globe.
University of Phoenix Stadium is the only North
American sporting venue to appear on that list,
thanks in large part to unique features such as its
combination of a retractable roof and a roll-in
natural grass field along with a differentiating
southwestern design, 88 luxury suites, and
Sportsman's Park, located just outside the stadium
featuring 25 acres of recreational area, including
The Great Lawn, which offers the fan 8 acres of
tailgating goodness. Make sure you are not missing
out on the excitement of your favorite teams playing
for the ultimate championship.
Super Bowl Trip reservations are encouraged to
be made well in advance for this ultimate football
fantasy vacation. This is the day that all football
fans have been waiting for!
Sports Traveler Insider Tip:
University of Phoenix Stadium is located in
Glendale, Arizona, not Phoenix as many think.
Glendale is located about 20 minutes northwest of
Phoenix, and is situated just minutes away from
dozens of great Phoenix-area golf courses. Traffic
in the Phoenix area is known to be typically heavy
on a daily basis. Hotels located in northern Phoenix
and Glendale are your best bet for quick travel to
the game, so book now to reserve the best available
rooms.
Super Bowl XLII will be the ninth Super Bowl hosted
in South Florida showcasing the Champions of the
(AFC) American Football Conference and the (NFC)
National Football Conference team champions. In the
2005, Super Bowl XL held in Detroit, Michigan,
football fans world wide watched as the
Indianapolis Colts faced off against the
Chicago Bears. The victorious Indianapolis Colts
were lead to victory with future Hall of Famer
Peyton Manning
Traveler's heading to Arizona can choose from
various
Super Bowl travel options to suit their budget's
and tastes.
Super Bowl Tickets are available for all levels
of seating on the Sports Traveler ticket network.
Most seating options are available and inventory
changes daily. Ticket prices start at $2880 per
ticket and go up from there. Yikes you say? The
Super Bowl is one of the priciest sporting events on
the planet.
In need of lodging and Super Bowl Tickets while in
Arizona? Interested in group activities with fellow
football fans plus bus transfers and Super Bowl VIP
hospitality? Then a
Super Bowl Package is your best bet. Packages
can range from 3 to 4 nights accommodations in
hotels located from Scottsdale to Downtown Phoenix.
All hotels are at least 3 to 5 star accommodations.
Remember when choosing this option that you will be
traveling with a group and will have set times for
activities and travel.
A great option for traveler's not interested in
packaged travel is purchasing just a
Super Bowl Hotel Room separately. Sometimes
choosing this option and then purchasing a
Super Bowl Ticket separately can save the
traveler big dollars. Plus you are on your own and
free to come and go as you please without the
timetable of a package.
