You can also opt for the smaller Glendale Municipal Airport, which is only 15 minutes away, however flights may be more expensive in and out of there.
After arriving in Arizona, now on Mountain Time (MST) the gates to the stadium open at 12:30 p.m. (MST) on Feb. 12, and kickoff is at 4:30 p.m. Since we know there will be traffic in and around the area, it is advised to show up on the earlier side to avoid any added stress.
