Please keep in mind that,

1. All temperatures and weather data noted here is for weather readings taken at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The temperatures around the Greater Phoenix area may vary several degrees from Phoenix readings, and rainfall varies in different parts of the Valley.
2. Tucson temperatures will typically be 5 to 10 degrees cooler than Phoenix.
3. At some of the stadiums you might be sitting in the shade for the entire game. That will make it feel much cooler, if course, than being out in the sun.
4. This weather data was obtained from the National Weather Service in Phoenix, and was last updated in February 2009.
