Super Bowl fans can ride light rail for free
Downtown event attendees can use app, code on certain days
People planning to attend Super Bowl 2023 events in downtown Phoenix can get there for free by riding Valley Metro light rail on certain days.
Light rail rides will be free for people going to the Super Bowl Experience events at the Phoenix Convention Center and Margaret T. Hance Park and the Super Bowl Music Fest concerts at Footprint Center.
These rides are available thanks to partnerships between Valley Metro, the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee and local officials.
“This will be the most sustainable and family-friendly Super Bowl experience yet, thanks in great part to this program,” Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego said in a statement. “This program leverages our investment in public transit and our commitment to keeping our city connected and accessible to our diverse community.”
