update:The NFL announced today that Arizona will host the 2008 Super Bowl. Now, we have 4 years to finish finish a new stadium and work on our own Cardinals — who knows, they might be playing here in January 2008? you are right, who am I kidding!

As most of you may already know, Tempe played host to last night’s Monday Night Football game between the Chargers and the Dolphins. The stadium is within a few blocks from my office here at ASU and needless to say it was a little crazy trying to get home but that is not the point here.


I think the fact that Tempe pulled this off pretty much within 24hrs (if that much) basically secures (hopefull thinking) the 2008 Super Bowl bid to bring the big game back to Arizona. The game also showed that people will come to the game if you hand out free tickets. Hopefully the Cardinals’ management team were taking notes that could bring a “Free Tickets” Cardinal game in the short future? I am all about supporting the local sport scene, but not when I have to get an extra job just to be able to afford it!!!
