Let the fun begin. It’s not just a game. It’s all the glitz , glamor and beautiful people that flock to the host city of the Super Bowl that adds some spice to an already, well seasoned dish! It’s 4 days full of parties and charity events hosted by players of all sports, celebs and entertainers. Glendale for sure, can say, “party over here” and mean that ish!
Jordin Sparks a native of Glendale, AZ hosted two events. She performed for the 18 & below crowd during the day and mingled with an adult, celebrity-mixed crowd into the night at Skye in Peoria.
