I am driving from the I-40 and can go either through Flagstaff and south to Phoenix, or save 15-20 minutes by going through Payson. But, I hate driving on poor roads with potholes or rough roads in my sport sedan. Need to see of it is worth it to try to get to Phoenix-Biltmore area in time for the game on Thursday. Staying that The Camby-Autograph Collection Hotel for 10 days. Any great Restaurant/bar areas around that area to watch the game on a bigger screen?
