The Fiesta Bowl has been in existence since 1971 and was hosted by Sun Devil Stadium until they moved to State Farm Stadium in 2007. There have been a handful of college national champions decided at this bowl. In 1998, the Fiesta Bowl hosted the first BCS National Championship Game. Out of all the teams in college football, Ohio State has made more appearances than any other team. I attended my first Fiesta Bowl in 1997 when I received free tickets to the game. Since 2000, I have been a Fiesta Bowl season ticket holder and have attended almost every game since then with my good friend from college. I also at times volunteer to be a balloon handler in the Fiesta Bowl parade. I love the Fiesta Bowl organization and all the charity work that they do in this community. They are currently sponsored by Playstation. They used to be sponsored by Tostitos and we would get a free chips and salsa when we attended the game. One of my favorite things to do is to tailgate in the parking lot and party with fans that travel here from other schools. There have been so many memorable games over the years. One of the most memorable games I attended was the 2003 BCS title game in which Ohio St beat Miami in double overtime. It is also nice to look back and see how many future NFL stars I have seen play in the Fiesta Bowl over the years like Andrew Luck, Tim Tebow, Colt McCoy, Trevor Lawrence & Joe Borrow. I'm a huge college football fan and have enjoyed this holiday tradition of going to the Fiesta Bowl for the past 20 years. I look forward to many more games in the future.

This year, #9 Penn State was selected to play in the Fiesta Bowl vs #11 Washington. Coming in, Penn…read moreState was the favorite and playing with Marcus Allen, Jason Cabinda, DaeSean Hamilton, Mike Gesicki and possibly Saquon Barkley for the last time. To give them an amazing farewell, our fans traveled well! The Nittany Lions started off strong, with a beautiful Trace McSorley pass to DaeSean Hamilton for a 48 yard touchdown! Later, Penn State's success continued as they drove straight down the field for a Saquon Barkley touchdown to make it a 14-0 Penn State lead. When the game looked like it was all Penn State, Washington responded with a trick play that took them down to the 10 yard line. Eventually, Jake Browning snuck in for a touchdown, to get Washington on the board. However, when momentum looked like it was shifting Washington's way, Penn State responded with a Mike Gesicki third-down conversion and a DeAndre Thompkins catch on the 1 yard line, which lead to a Miles Sanders touchdown. Eventually, Penn State got the ball back on their own 8 yard line and it was time for Saquon Barkley to make his mark. He found a hole and was off and running 92 yards to the house to make it a 28-7 Penn State lead! Penn State was able to get the ball again and have a chance to put the game way, but a costly fumble lead to a Myles Gaskin score. Eventually, half-time came and went and Washington got the ball. They then went on to drive down the field for a touchdown to make it a one-score game. However, Trace McSorley lead Penn State right down the field for a DaeSean Hamilton back shoulder touchdown catch to put Penn State up 35-21! Penn State had another chance to put the game away with the ball in the red-zone, but McSorley had another unlucky interception, which lead to a long Myles Gaskin score. Washington was within one touchdown again. Penn State once again drove down the field up by one touchdown and had a chance to put the game away with a Tyler Davis field goal, but from 45 yards away, he pulled it. Luckily, Washington had no time outs and only 30 seconds to score. With 15 seconds left, Jake Browning converted a fourth-down, but a hook and later lead to a fumble recovered by Brandon Smith!!! The best part was when #9 (and moving up) Penn State got the W. 35-28 #WeAre

Took awhile to get thru once we passed the security check-in and were filtering down a few levels to get to the floor. Of course there were a ton of people and we were packed like sardines but the flow was smooth and people were patient. Once we got to our seats, we got situated and Leon Thomas was already midway as the opening act. There was a slight mixup as one chair, the "30th" seat was missing on our row and we ended up moving down one seat to our left as the group with the seating issue kept trying to figure it out. Some numbers were missing on our seats but mine was visible and we could verify where we were seated. Luckily, our seat neighbors were nice people and accommodating since there seemed to be an extra seat that was empty. When we first arrived, there were some people who sat near our seats that weren't supposed to be there but you know there's always one of those so they moved. It was fun and festive. The woman in front of us with her daughter was recording the whole time as well as the lone guy next to my cousin who was doing the same and singing to EVERY SONG, LOL!! Thankfully we never had to use the bathroom as we went during dinner right before the concert. There were Porta-Pottys on the floor level inside as your bathroom. Also, you couldn't take an actual canned drink inside. Attendants had you put them in a cup unless they weren't paying attention and you had your drink in your see-thru backpack like the guy in front of me walking in. Speaking of, you need to look at bag dimensions and restrictions prior to going to the events. I looked ahead of time and brought a clear, plastic purse within the allowed guidelines/dimensions. Acoustics were great, there was never a glitch, 2 large screens on the left and right of the stage were great for folks seated far away and were a great visual for close ups even for us. Security was effective and checkpoints at the entrances went smoothly. It was a bit crazy getting out of the stadium but we got out. Getting out of the parking lot was another story. It was a long, log-jam and some vehicles were impatient and nearly hitting other vehicles just to get in the line to get out! I think the parking guides and traffic monitors could've done better in an orderly and streamlined fashion. In any case, we had fun and luckily people inside were nice and courteous. This was my 2nd concert at this stadium and am well-pleased with the ambiance. It was just the parking lot situation that needs to be more efficient. Hopefully they worked it out the next evening since Bruno played 2 nights here.

Very memorable!!... memorable because apparently we all have a little sex-kitten-walk hidden in us... memorable because strapping on some 6" heels and straddling a pole brings out the inner-skank in us. In short, whatever it evokes in you, know that *something will* be evoked! This is the chance for you to be in a private atmosphere (it was just a few of us girls and one instructor girl and plenty of poles) and learn some sexy moves that I'd honestly say have lots of 'perks' to their use. The facility is a bit hidden on this strip-mall.. enter in and don't expect to be overwhelmed with modernness and sexiness: it's an older building with a check-in counter and a class room setting in the back with an iPod speaker and plenty of poles and mirrors and class-lighting. Make sure you get the clean pole ;) What stands out is the instructors, their friendliness and the entertainment you are about to have. The shoe selection was kinda tossed around and some of them looked beat-up and after grabbing a sexy 6" red pair (with good size straps), we all tip-toed over to the back room. Class was long enough for us to all practice and then do solos to some Gaga (which, btw, don't let your MOH video! - major blackmail!). They had catalogs of these totally hot, sexy shoes (not for walking the mall, but for walking the pole) in case you were wanting to take home a 'starter-kit'. Like Hillary P. says: awesome workout, increased awareness of the way I move, and a happy husband (AND wife!).. need I say more??

You can contact her at emily@poledivas.com. The course I took lasted six weeks and was an introduction to pole dancing. There were eight of us in the class: several college students and three of us married types. Drawbacks were: -Only one pole for eight people so minimal time to practice your new moves, everyone had to watch each other try new moves, and you had to wait for others to work through the moves -The pole was up on a mini stage and I was always afraid I was going to go flying off it Positives: -It was an awesome workout -Increased confidence and awareness of the way I move -A happy husband I say give it a try. They aren't trying to turn you into a stripper so don't worry. It's just fun!

I had only previously been in this arena for NHL Coyotes hockey. One minus is that Westgate shopping center charges $15 for parking during concerts and other big events at the arena. However, if you buy something at Westgate and give them the parking receipt, they will remove the $15 from your bill. My friends enjoy happy hour prices at Bar Louie right across from the entrance to the area arena and get the $15 of their bill. I prefer to simply park slightly farther out by the Outlets and walk. I also find it saves time leaving after the concert also. The closer $15 parking lots do not have workers after the concert helping to make the traffic flow efficiently. It took over 20 minutes for them to get out of the lot nearest the stadium.
