Sure enough, the big event this week is Clemson vs Alabama in the national title game at University of Phoenix stadium.
But as the week goes on, there are some other big events happening.
IF/THEN, a new musical featuring Idina Menzel ("Wicked" and "Frozen") and Anthony Rapp ("Rent"), opens Tuesday at ASU Gammage.
Coincidentally, Disney's "Frozen" ice show, for which Menzel voiced "Elsa" in the animated movie, will be at Talking Stick Resort Arena. Re-live the songs the magic in an ice show.
If you're looking to listen to some music, there is a free jazz series at the Orepheum Theater and free music on Fridays at Tempe Mission Palms Hotel. View more events below.
