I was very lucky to visit Phoenix two years ago. I was even luckier to be there for the Fiesta Bowl going on on New Years Eve! This is a short post because I prefer the few photos to speak for themselves. It was a great event and an amazing area to discover. I am planning on visiting Arizona again and would love some insider tips? Please comment!
I flew from Ottawa to Florida to celebrate Christmas with my family there. A few days later, my friend and I flew to Arizona for a few days of fun. It was my first time visiting a drier area. I had never seen anything like it! The view from above was breathtaking. I knew this short trip would be worth my time.
I was mind blown when the view switched to the photo above to the photo below in less time than an eyes blink.
We soon landed after a smooth flight. Made our way to the hotel on which we passed the University of Phoenix Stadium, where our event was to be held the next day. A very impressive venue if you compare it to what we have here in Ottawa (what do we event have here?).
We checked-in our room, went shopping, and enjoyed a famous Johnny Rockets milkshake before going to bed. I have to say that the most impressive part of the trip was the Fiesta Bowl. All of it. From the event, to the crowd, to the venue!!!
I could add more photos but am satisfied with this one closing the post. It was a unique experience. My first american football event. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Have you been to any similar event?
OD
Who played in this game?
Baylor Bears and UCF Knights
If you are ever in Waco, the Mclanne Stadium is a gem right off of I-35 next to the Brazos River.
UCF alum here. That was an AWESOME game and a great win for my Knights. I used to march in the Marching Knights also. Sigh, hope we get back to such a major game again soon. :-)
Looks like fun. I have been to US baseball and basketball games, but not football nor ice hockey. Would love to experience it. Rugby and cricket are the popular sports where I live.
Nice! I would love to experience a basketball game. Ice hockey is amazing, I strongly recommend you go to a game!
Very nice place. Following you now.
Thanks!
That is too cool and looks like tons of fun. I have been to that stadium a few times to watch the Arizona Cardinals but have never seen an event as big as a BCS bowl game like you got to experience. The energy must have been amazing. I would have to guess your friend goes to UCF hahaha as Phoenix is a long ways a way from FL. Glad you enjoyed it, the dry desert, dirt and tumbleweeds had to be a completely different experience than the lush green trees of Ottawa.
