Mill Avenue carries all nine national dates across the year, a complete run with nothing missing. For a strip this short, that is a lot of scheduled traffic.
Which Tempe street hosts the crawls?
Mill Avenue, almost certainly. It runs bar after bar beside the Arizona State campus, which makes it the densest walkable strip in the East Valley.
How much does Arizona State shape Mill Avenue?
Almost entirely. ASU is one of the largest universities in the country and sits directly beside the strip, so term time and breaks change the room completely.
Does Valley Metro run along Mill Avenue?
Yes, and it is the practical choice. Valley Metro runs along Mill Avenue itself and connects to Phoenix and Mesa, which avoids parking altogether.
How brutal is the Tempe July date?
Severe. The valley sits above a hundred and ten degrees in early July, and a five o'clock start is the hottest opening hour anywhere on this site.
Which Tempe dates are comfortable?
The winter and spring ones. December through March runs in the seventies, which is the stretch the whole valley builds its calendar around.
How does Tempe differ from Scottsdale?
Sharply. Mill Avenue runs young and cheap on the university crowd, while Old Town Scottsdale draws resort visitors and charges resort prices.
Is there a Sun Devils fixture to check?
Worth doing for the autumn dates. Mountain America Stadium sits beside Mill Avenue, so a home game fills the strip before a crawl starts.
