Biggest Game of the Year
When it comes to the biggest sports events in the world the Super Bowl will always be a top contender.

The streaming numbers each year can be in the billions so there are plenty of eyes glued to the game. The Super Bowl is the biggest match-up for the NFL season as the top two teams go head to head for the championship. With the NFL now having 32 official teams, it can be a long season of sweat and tears for the players. The Super Bowl will be hosted in Glendale, Arizona at the end of the 2022-2023 season. This means the individuals who often travel to see the game in person will now be in the Valley for it. With so many people in Arizona at once, you will want to book your rental as soon as possible.
