Grab Your Boots and Your Best Gals & Pals: The Ultimate BIG GAME Bash is Back!
Experience the Game Like Never Before – Where Western Spirit Meets Football Glory!
Great Food, Better Beer, Awesome Party!
Forget the standard living room setup. If you’re looking for a game-day experience that combines high-stakes football with authentic cowboy spirit, you’ve found it. On Sunday, February 8th, 2026, Cliff and OD are taking over Trophy Bar at Downtown Ocotillo Plaza in Chandler for an all-day celebration that’s part tailgate, part concert, and 100% Western. We’ve got the massive Parking Lot TV ready to go, but those 59 prime seats inside will fill up fast, so get here early to claim your piece of the action!
The Road to the Big Game: Who Will Take the Field?
As we count down the days to February 8th, the excitement across the league is electric. We’ve watched the heavy hitters battle it out all season, and now it all comes down to Championship Sunday on January 25th. Will it be a clash of the titans from the AFC and NFC powerhouses we’ve seen dominating the boards, or will a dark horse ride into the sunset with a trip to the finale? The anticipation of seeing which legends will face off is half the fun! We’re keeping our eyes glued to the screen to see which two teams will be representing their conferences under our parking lot lights. No matter who wins the pennants, one thing is for sure: the energy at Trophy Bar on February 8th for the BIG GAME will be unmatched.

We don’t just watch the game; we live it. Whether you’re here for the hard-hitting defense or the high-energy halftime, we’ve got the vibe to match the stadium.

Why You Can’t Miss This Hoedown
1. Live Music & Dancing Between Plays: From country-rock classics to high-octane jams, we’ve got a lineup featuring Western Fusion Band, BONE, and Left of Centre. And we don’t just sit during the breaks, expect some real country dancing between plays to keep the energy high! Once the champion is crowned? The Purple Onions will have you rocking ’til you drop!
2. A Menu Built for Champions: Trophy Bar kitchen is bringing the heat! I’m personally coming for the Trophy Bar Nachos (piled high with that white cheddar green chili cheese sauce!) and the Crispy Ten Trophy Wings. If you’re really hungry, the Hot N Smokey Burger with signature waffle-cut sweet potato fries is a game-changer. Wash it all down with a Prickly Pear Margarita or a bucket of ice-cold Coors Originals.
3. The Full “Big Game” Experience: Don’t worry about missing a thing. We’re broadcasting the Apple Music Halftime Show featuring Bad Bunny on the big screens. It’s going to be a global spectacle you have to see to believe. Plus, we’ll be airing all the great new commercials (everyone’s talking about the Sabrina Carpenter and Ben Affleck spots!), so even the breaks are part of the fun.
4. Party with a Purpose: We’re loud, we’re proud, and we give back. A portion of the day’s proceeds supports our heroes at Chandler Firefighter Charities and Chandler Law Enforcement Charities. Come have a blast while supporting the men and women who keep our community safe.
- About Chandler Firefighter Charities: Chandler Firefighter Charities is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization formed by Chandler firefighters in 1994. Its founders recognized that citizens frequently need services that extend beyond the confines of a fire or medical emergency.
- About Chandler Law Enforcement Charities: Chandler Law Enforcement Charities is a 501(c)(3) and helps provide charitable, educational, and financial assistance to law enforcement officers and their families while giving back to the community.
5. Score Big with Super Bowl Boards: Feeling lucky? Test your intuition with Super Bowl boards that offer a chance to win big. Place your bets on the squares, cross your fingers, and see if your numbers come up. There’s nothing like a well-timed touchdown to amp up the excitement and your potential payout.
6. Shop Local & Stay Sharp: Between touchdowns, take a stroll through our Vendor Row! We’re excited to host some amazing local businesses. Grab a handcrafted, ultra-slim leather accessory from Walking Wallets, perfect for keeping your essentials secure while you’re dancing. And if you need a mid-game boost to stay in the zone, stop by TKO IV Hydration for a refresh. They’ll keep you feeling like a pro-athlete so you can party all the way through the final whistle!
More About the Music
Western Fusion Band
This band knows how to get a crowd moving. Their music is a celebration of the West, with a modern twist that appeals to everyone. They set the tone with their unique mix of country, rock, and down-home Western jams. It’s the perfect soundtrack for gathering around with friends, sipping your favorite drink, and getting pumped for the year’s biggest game.
Bone
John Rittenour, performing as BONE, is a beloved Arizona staple known for his gritty, authentic solo performances. While he’s a regular favorite up in the cooler pines of Payson, he’s bringing that high-country soul down to the valley for this bash. John is known for a “one-man band” style that sounds way bigger than you’d expect. He typically delivers a soulful mix of Classic Rock, Outlaw Country, and Americana. Think of the rugged, storytelling vibes of Chris Stapleton or Bob Seger perfect for a crowd that appreciates a real voice and a guitar.
Left of Centre
For over two decades, Las Vegas’s own Left of Centre has been a powerhouse on the local music scene, seamlessly blending country and rock into a high-energy performance that consistently gets crowds moving. Known for their versatile musicianship, bandmates Frank Garrett and Jerry Tomlinson have held down long-term residencies at iconic Strip venues like Toby Keith’s “I Love This Bar” for a decade and are now a regular fixture at Blake Shelton’s Ole Red. Beyond their electrifying live shows, which often include serving as the backing band for the Country Artists Tribute, Left of Centre has cultivated a dedicated following in both Las Vegas and Reno, proving they’re far more than just a cover band – they’re a cornerstone of the desert’s vibrant entertainment landscape.
The Purple Onions After the Final Whistle
Once the final play is called and a champion is crowned, Rocky Point’s favorite band, The Purple Onions, takes over to keep the energy high. Last year, they had the crowd on its feet with a set list that mixed classic rock, modern hits, and a few cowboy-inspired surprises. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself dancing ’til late into the night.
“I can personally vouch for this party. Last year was off-the-charts! My crew and I are already counting down the minutes. It’s where Western meets football, and every guest becomes family.”

Downtown Ocotillo: The Heart of the Party
While The Trophy Bar is the “End Zone” for our event, the entire Downtown Ocotillo Plaza is a destination worth exploring. If you’ve never been to this part of Chandler, you are missing out on a hidden gem! Beyond the food and football, the plaza is home to a full range of lifestyle services. You can get pampered at The Spa at Ocotillo or talk to the local experts at Ocotillo Real Estate if you’re looking to call this beautiful area home.
The plaza is also a foodie’s paradise. Whether you’re here for the party or just a quiet afternoon of shopping and self-care, Downtown Ocotillo is a “Western meets modern” oasis that everyone should visit at least once! If you need a pre-game caffeine fix, or are looking for a more laid-back vibe before the music starts? Bottle and Bean is the ultimate neighborhood coffee and wine bistro. CHoP Chandler serves up incredible mesquite-grilled steaks and seafood for those wanting a sit-down meal. If you’re craving something different, Bonsai is just around the corner with some of the best sushi and teppanyaki in the Valley. The whole plaza is a true desert sanctuary, definitely a local treasure you’ll want to scout out for yourself!
