2. The Super Bowl is just around the corner, and the Super Bowl Host Committee is detailing its plans to involve the entire Valley in the many events planned to lead up to the game. Some of the features planned by the committee include large Roman numerals LVII for the Super Bowl LVII in several areas around the valley, including Scottsdale. Events planned for Scottsdale include the Historic Old Town ESPN Main Street Tailgate and the Sports Illustrated The Party at Talking Stick Resort. (KTAR.com)
