PHOENIX — The most glorious event of Super Bowl weekend is almost here — Puppy Bowl XI is u-paw-n us!

The “Puppy Bowl” experience is coming to CityScape in downtown Phoenix on Jan. 29. Animal Planet and the Arizona Humane Society are teaming up to show the tiny furballs’ football-esque feats at the Corner restaurant.

Though the bowl game has already been recorded, event attendees can see live re-enactments at the restaurant at 10.am. from Jan. 29 to the day of the Super Bowl.

The Corner (which will be called “Puppy Bowl Cafe” for the duration of the event) will open at 6:30 a.m. and will also offer animal adoption resources.

We want to hear from you.
