Where to Watch the Game: 19 Super Bowl Parties Around Metro Phoenix

Let’s face it: You probably have a better chance of beating Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins in a footrace than you do with seeing Super Bowl LVII in person. Tickets for the game start at around $4,600 for the nosebleeds with seats on the 50-yard line going for as much as $14,000 or more.

That doesn’t mean you can’t have a memorable time watching the big showdown between Philadelphia and the Kansas City Chiefs. Super Bowl watch parties will happen across the Valley at local bars, resorts, casinos, and other venues on Sunday, February 12.

Many options are available. You can view every minute of action along with fellow football fanatics or die-hard supporters of either Philly or KC. Or you could tailgate and win cash prizes at events being put on at local outdoor shopping malls. There are even some swankier shindigs boasting more than just beer and burgers.
