When the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles meet in the Super Bowl in a couple of weeks, it’ll be the fourth time Arizona has hosted the NFL’s championship game. But it’ll be the first time since the state legalized sports betting.

In fact, the game will be the first Super Bowl ever played in a state that allows wagers on the game.
