December 15, 2021 Kelli Reichel

Located just 10 minutes east of downtown Phoenix, Tempe exudes its own personality and the youthful spirit of a college town. Home to Arizona State University, the largest public university in the United States, Tempe has a vibrant downtown that’s active day and night. You’ll find locally-owned eateries and microbreweries, annual festivals, arts and cultural events. And plenty of opportunities to enjoy over 300 days of sunshine a year on a bike, hiking trail or stand-up paddleboard.

Tempe Diablo Stadium

Reviewed By 01-Canadiantourist - Morris, Canada

Coming from Canada in March, we were quite happy to sit in the sun and soak up some Vitamin D for a lovely Sunday afternoon ball game. Nice stadium with nice view in the background as you watch the game. Line-ups not bad at all for drinks and bathroom. Parking was a bit of a stroll but that just helped wear off the smokie dog ;)
