Pigskins aren’t just for eating! Some athletes like to toss ’em around (footballs) for a few months out of the year, and come February, two teams face off in something called the Super Bowl.
Here in Tucson, there are a few super options to celebrate the big game on Sunday, February 9. No matter how you celebrate, try keeping it local with the following opportunities.
