What's on Phoenix · Fri, Oct 16 – Sun, Oct 18 · 169 confirmed · 137 unconfirmed · times MST Days (which dates to show) ? Today: just today. This weekend: Friday through Sunday (the rest of it once it has started). Coming weekdays: Monday through Thursday. Custom: opens a calendar — tap a start date, then an end date, anywhere from today to Tue, Oct 27 — listings are checked two weeks ahead, so nothing later is on the site yet. Dates are Phoenix local. Showing Fri, Oct 16 – Sun, Oct 18
Filter (which types to show) ? Every type starts on (✓). Tap a type to turn it off (not a sports fan? tap Sports and Sports (TV) off); tap an off type (+) to turn it back on. Any mix is fine, and the Short list still shows a few of each type you keep. “All on” turns everything back on. Showing all 18 types — tap a type to turn it off
Status (confirmed or not) ? Confirmed: date and time match the official source (team, venue, organizer or their ticketing page) and we say when we last checked. Unconfirmed: we found it but have not yet confirmed the date or time — it is labelled on the card. Everything shows both. Sort (order within each day) ? Time: earliest start first within each day, unknown times last. Type: grouped by type in the order of the filter list, then by time. Order is never paid for. List (how much to show) ? Everything: the full list for the chosen days (the default). Short: up to 4 of each type per day, confirmed first, then earliest start, with an “All →” link on each type. Choosing a sort order switches to Everything; dropping or adding types works in either. Up to 4 of each type per day: confirmed first, then earliest start. Order is never paid for. Show everything
