The Traffic Lady's Tips Are Music to Your Ears
Get your peanuts and head on over to the U.S. Airways Center for the big animal and clown confab also know at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Squealing kids are on the agenda through the weekend. Watch out for the flying dogs, motorcycle madness and much more. Just follow the peanut trail.
If you're looking for more than a feeling or have too much time on your hands and feel like sailing away head to the Dodge Theater for the Boston & Styx show this Friday at 8 pm. Sunday night at 7:30 pm, O.A.R. - All Sides Tour with special guest Jeremy Fisher will be the featured entertainment.
And for the baseball fans, plan to kick the week off with the D'Backs when they begin a home stand Monday with games daily throughout the week taking on Milwaukee Brewers. Mon-Wed game fans should plan for dealing with rush hour traffic for the game start at 6:40 pm, and Thursday's game kicks off over the lunch hour at 12:40 pm. And if you're planning ahead, July 4ths game comes complete with an extended fireworks show. More details to come.
And it’s playoff time at U.S. Airways Center when the Arizona Rattlers take on the Grand Rapids Rampage this Monday night at 6:30pm.
To make coming to Copper Square a great experience for everyone, visitors are encouraged to plan ahead and keep the following tips in mind:

Helpful Tips
Best Way to Get to the Game? Take 7th Avenue!
• 7th Ave. is the best kept secret. Yes, AVENUE. The Traffic Lady, City of Phoenix, Diamondbacks and Suns all agree – 7th Ave. is the recommended route to beat the crowds and event traffic. Take the I-17, I-10 and SR 51 and Loop 202 (via I-10) to 7th Ave, head to Jefferson and proceed eastbound to access convenient parking.
• If you are entering the area from the south, take 7th St. to Lincoln. Head west on Lincoln and north on any of the cross streets for parking.
• If you are coming from the east, take the I-10 and exit Washington. Head west on Washington into the downtown area. Another option for drivers on Washington is to take 12th or 16th streets north to Van Buren, and head west into downtown.
• Come early! You can park and grab a bite to eat or drink at one of over 90 restaurants and bars.
• Call the Ambassadors at 602-495-1500 or email at ambassadors@coppersquare.com for personalized directions, and up-to-the-minute traffic and parking information.
