Super Bowl 49 from A to Z

Weather
Phoenix (or Glendale, a “suburb” if you will of Phoenix) is one of the most beautiful places in the world, in great measure due to its almost year round sunny skies and comfortable temperatures. The summers can be a bit overbearing if you’re unaccustomed to dry heat, but September through May is generally perfect.
Highs through Wednesday are expected to be around 77 degrees, with a low temperature at night of 51 expected on Wednesday. Super Bowl Sunday is expected to feature a high of 73, low of 49 with partly cloudy skies and a 20 percent chance of precipitation, according to The Weather Channel.
The weather is mostly irrelevant since the game will likely be played with a closed roof. But if you’re a New England or Seattle fan coming from those respective home towns, Arizona promises to be a great getaway spot for Super Bowl week, if nothing else than to get out of the severe cold and depressing overcast skies.
Wilson, Russell
Shameless plug here. I wrote an article last week breaking down Russell Wilson’s strengths (and to a degree his weaknesses) after the NFC Championship Game.
