Super Bowl SpikeDoes Super Bowl XLII have a mascot?

Where will the Super Bowl XLII be played?
A new stadium has been built in Glendale, Arizona, just west of Phoenix. It is the new home of the Arizona Cardinals, and it is a state-of-the-art facility. It is the first stadium in North America to feature a retractable roof and a roll-out grass field. Besides the 2008 Super Bowl, it will also be the location for the Fiesta Bowl, as well as the National College Football Championship game in 2007. The new stadium will hold about 73,000 people. Here are more details about University of Phoenix Stadium (formerly known as Cardinals Stadium).

It’s in Glendale, Arizona which is in the northwest part of the Valley of the Sun. Here’s a map and directions to University of Phoenix Stadium.

How do I get tickets for Super Bowl in Phoenix?
Only a specific number of tickets will be allotted to Cardinals season ticket holders. During the 2007 season, the Cardinals will conduct a weighted lottery to determine which season ticket holders will be able to purchase Super Bowl XLII tickets. The lottery will be weighted based on the number of years an individual has held season tickets and the number of tickets in the account. It’s no surprise that season tickets for the first season in the new Cardinals Stadium sold out in early 2006. There is a waiting list for cancellations and accounts that aren’t paid. Remember–having season tickets still doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get Super Bowl tickets.

If you don’t have season tickets that are selected in the lottery, the only way to purchase Phoenix Super Bowl tickets will be through a ticket broker, like TicketsNow.com (Buy Direct), or from scalpers/ticket exchanges. Be careful!
