Super Bowl XXII, is already underway. People are already buying tickets and reserving their hotel and plane tickets now. The big event is scheduled for February 3, 2008 at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona holds 63,400 seats and has the capability to expand to 73,000 seats. Considered a premier stadium, when it comes to the very best in architectural design, the stadium and the locals can hardly wait to be a part of NFL's big event. Business Week Magazine noted the University of Phoenix Stadium as one of the 10 "most impressive" sports facilities in the world because of the combination of the retractable roof along with the roll-in natural grass field. This is the only stadium in North America with such a stadium as this one.
With more than 300 days of sunshine every year in Arizona, the Stadium's roof will likely be open during the 2008 Super Bowl, weather permitting. The upcoming Super Bowl in 2008, will be only the second game in Super Bowl history with a retractable roof. The average temperature in Arizona in February is a comfortable 70 degrees.
There are 88 luxury suites on two separate levels that are available and will seat approximately 1,500 patrons. Club seating for 7,000 fans is also available which includes access to private club lounges. Both lower and upper bowl seating will be available, accommodating some 55,000 fans.
Super Bowl XLII tickets are already for sale and will cost you around $3,250.00 and could be as expensive as $9000.00, depending who your source for tickets is.
Entertainment for the Super Bowl has not yet been determined, but both Bruce Springsteen and Norah Jones are reported as possibilities.
