Extra Daybreak Connection
Here’s a fun local twist: in Daybreak, one of the neighborhood streets is named Mahomes Lane, honoring Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and Super Bowl LVII MVP. So when the Chiefs clinched that 38–35 victory, Daybreak residents had one more reason to cheer.
Make It a Daybreak Watch Party
- Walk or bike: Keep things easy for guests. Daybreak’s 5‑Minute Life puts friends, parks, and trails close by.
- Score snacks: Before kickoff, swing by Harmons Daybreak for wings and veggie trays.
- Set up zones: Create a “quiet chat” area and a “play‑by‑play” couch. Everyone wins.
- Half‑time stroll: If the weather cooperates, take a quick lap around Oquirrh Lake to reset before the fourth quarter.
Halftime & Commercials: Why They Matter
Rihanna’s Apple Music Halftime Show turned into a cultural moment. Meanwhile, ads featured celebrities and blockbuster movie trailers—and brands paid top dollar for those 30 seconds. If you’re hosting, build a simple commercial bingo game for kids and hand out small prizes (think gummy bears or foam footballs).
Quick History: Glendale & the Big Game
Super Bowl LVII marked the fourth time the Phoenix area hosted the event and the third at this stadium (previously Super Bowls XLII and XLIX). The region’s reliable winter weather and retractable‑roof stadium make it a frequent pick.
