Arizona's 'super season' gives state financial shot of adrenaline
At the beginning of 2023, the Valley welcomed sports fans and tourists, bringing a flood of money from Super Bowl 57, spring training, and the WM Open. An ASU economist says the weather helped. Others said the state's amazing hotels and resorts, infrastructure, quality of life, and history of hosting major sporting events were a plus, too.
