The NFL's Super Bowl Experience is gearing up for its final weekend at the Phoenix Convention Center this Thursday through Saturday.
The event, presented by Lowe's, is a massive roadshow of all things professional football that appears at each Super Bowl site. It will be open 3-10 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 9, and Friday, Feb. 10, and 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11, at the convention center, 100 N. Third Street in Phoenix.
The event features activities and games for young and old as well as chances to meet and get autographs from current and former players.
NFL officials said about 70,000 people went through the event during the first weekend, which was the second-biggest opening weekend only behind the 2012 event.
