One of international soccer’s greatest rivalries is coming back to Arizona—and it’s the
perfect excuse to turn matchday into a weekend getaway.
On Saturday, October 3, the U.S. Men’s National Team faces Mexico at State Farm
Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, bringing one of the loudest and most exciting sporting
atmospheres in North America back to the Valley. Fans from across Arizona and beyond
are expected to make the trip for a weekend centered around the match.
Choosing the right place to stay means you can enjoy all the excitement without spending
the entire weekend surrounded by traffic, crowded parking lots, and busy hotels. That’s
where Rock Springs RV Resort offers something different.

Where to Stay Near State Farm Stadium
Located just off Interstate 17 at Exit 242 in Black Canyon City, Rock Springs RV Resort
provides convenient access to Glendale, Arizona, while offering a peaceful escape from
the busy Phoenix metro area.
The resort is approximately 50 miles from State Farm Stadium, making it an easy drive on
gameday. Instead of spending your weekend surrounded by traffic and crowded hotel
parking lots, you can return to open desert views, fresh mountain air, and a quieter place to
unwind.
Even better, USA vs. Mexico weekend falls during Rock Springs RV Resort’s opening
season, giving guests the opportunity to experience one of Arizona’s newest RV resorts
while attending one of the year’s biggest sporting events. It’s a combination you won’t find
anywhere else.
Enjoy Cooler Arizona Weather
One of Rock Springs’ biggest advantages is its location.
At approximately 2,000 feet in elevation, Black Canyon City typically enjoys temperatures
around 10 degrees cooler than Phoenix. After spending the day in Glendale, many guests
appreciate returning to a more comfortable climate where they can relax outside, enjoy
dinner, or simply unwind beneath Arizona’s evening sky.
Surrounded by the scenic Bradshaw Mountains, Rock Springs offers a completely
different atmosphere than staying in the middle of the city, making it easy to recharge
before heading home.
Spacious RV Sites
Rock Springs was designed with today’s RV travelers in mind.
Guests can enjoy:
- Spacious pull-through RV sites up to 75 feet
- 100-amp electrical service
- Full hookups
- Private patios
- High-speed fiber Wi-Fi
- Convenient drive-through check-in
Whether you’re arriving Friday afternoon or making a long weekend of it, you’ll have plenty
of room to settle in before heading to the match.
Designer Glamping Suites
Don’t own an RV? Rock Springs makes it easy to experience resort camping without towing
anything.
Each Designer Glamping Suite includes:
- King-size bed
- Kitchenette
- Private bathroom
- Comfortable living area
- Personal outdoor deck

For many travelers, Designer Glamping Suites offer the best of both worlds—the comfort
and privacy of a cabin with the atmosphere of an RV resort, all without needing to travel
with an RV.
Why Stay at Rock Springs Instead of a Hotel?
Hotels near major sporting events often fill quickly and leave little room to enjoy the rest of
your trip.
Rock Springs offers a different experience.
Guests enjoy:
- Cooler mountain-desert temperatures
- Spacious RV sites or Designer Glamping Suites
- Resort amenities included with every stay
- Fiber Wi-Fi throughout the resort

getaway.

Whether you’re staying one night or spending several days exploring central Arizona, you’ll
have everything you need for a comfortable visit.
Explore More During Your Weekend
One of the advantages of staying at Rock Springs is that your trip doesn’t have to begin and
end with the match. Cheer on your team Saturday, then spend Sunday discovering more of
central Arizona before heading home.
While you’re in Black Canyon City and the surrounding area, consider:
- Visiting the historic Rock Springs Café, known for its homemade pies and Arizona
history. - Hiking nearby trails with views of the Bradshaw Mountains.
- Exploring Lake Pleasant Regional Park for boating, fishing, hiking, and scenic
desert landscapes. - Spending time in Glendale, Arizona, before kickoff to enjoy local restaurants,
shopping, and entertainment.

Arizona road trip.
