PHOENIX – The weather will be pleasant but traffic will be hot and heavy in parts of metro Phoenix this weekend between Super Bowl activities and the WM Phoenix Open.

Super Bowl Events in downtown Phoenix and the big game in Glendale have closed down and/or restricted a number of streets, some not reopening until midweek.

The Super Bowl Experience is set up at two downtown sites – the Phoenix Convention Center and Hance Park. Activities at the convention center end Saturday night; Hance Park hosts a free Super Bowl watch party Sunday,
