Taxes called key to get 2012 Super Bowl

[40yearfan]

Is there a way to re-instate that tourist tax that bought the stadium?

It's still there and is being used to retire the debt on the stadium.

People who have never been to AZ are ignorant to how beautiful it is. Now I like Oregon but it doesn't even compare to AZ!!! And I'm sick of the GD rain this winter!!!!

So funny...my one trip to Oregon made me realize how ugly it is here, and I fell in love with how beautiful Oregon is. It's all perspective.

before I get flamed: I love Phoenix, there's many, many wonderful things about Phoenix. I just don't think it's attractive looking.

Arizona is hands down the prettiest sate in CONUS.

Notice I said AZ...

 

[Shane]

You obviously havent seen much of the state?

I've lived here 28 years; I've been all over this state. The Grand Canyon is breathtaking, but it's only a small part of the whole. Sedona? Eh. I've never been a fan of rocks, no matter the color.

Like I said, it's just personal taste. I don't see anything amazing about AZ, outside of the GC.

 

[Chainthroer]

I vote no! Let the people making the money pay!

Northern AZ is gorgeous. The North Rim, Sedona, Lake Powell, The GC, The White Mountains, Plenty of forest and green as well as the desert. It is so vast and has so many different environements it is unreal. No other state even compares. JMHO!

i think AZ is the most varied state - but definitely not the most attractive place i've been to (although some of the canyons & natural formations are breath taking along with the best sunsets i've seen that weren't on the water)

in the end it all comes down to personal tastes though

i like the desert topography and can find beauty in it, but from pure looks with everything else being equal there are a few states I prefer - i really like new york & maine and feel idaho is vastly underated (although i'm probably in a minority here)

Agree to disagree. There's pretty here & there, but I've seen much prettier. JMHO!!

I've seen some gorgeous pics of Idaho. Never been there, though.

True. You're pretty cool, in my opinion. Guess you proved your point right there.

And if the natural beauty of Arizona isn't enough, how about their citizens commitment to Public Arts:

You notice all the blue skys in the above pictures? Right....we rest our case.

No State has a view more beautiful than this one which makes Arizona the most beautiful State in the union-no contest:

There is nothing in Oregon or Idaho that can compare to this view either:

That's an awesome view PCF. But not even in the same league with the others.

Add Nevada to that list, too.
