The college football National Championship was held in Phoenix. Like with the Super Bowl last year, they had another block part in downtown Phoenix. First we went to check out the Tuft & Needle showroom. They are revolutionizing the mattress business, and the company was built in Phoenix. I felt like I was in San Francisco, it was very hipster, but they were super nice. The showroom is currently in the warehouse district. After we signed in, they told us we could have all the free bagels and tea we wanted!

They had individual rooms we were able to go in and check out the mattresses. We plan to buy one soon so I will let you all know what we think of it, but so far it seems pretty good!

Then we headed downtown to check out to action and enjoy the energy.

Some were ice skating at City Scape. 

Here is their main stage where they had the concerts.

We saw the Budweiser Clydesdales. 

We watched as they gave a police escort to the horses. We turned around and exchanged pleasantries with Jesse Palmer!

They did not have nearly as many free things this year, but the stuff they had was better quality. We got free Dr. Pepper, some glasses, Chick-fil-a sandwiches and coupons for more Chick-fil-a! We also chatted with a retired Clemson professor for a few minutes. It was such a fun night to experience all the hype of college football.

Also, I hadn't walked much the entire week, in fact I got in more walking in one day as I got in the whole  week!
