Yay fireworks!! But WHERE??

I'm at a loss for plans on July 4th. I've got a few good ideas, though.
Idea #1: Go to the Diamondbacks game on Saturday night, watch the game in cool air conditioned comfort, and then enjoy the fireworks display from our seats in the stadium through the open roof. For obvious, air-conditioned reasons, I am liking this idea a whole lot.
Idea #2: The Phoenix Zoo has a ticketed event on Sunday, the 4th, which includes catered barbecue food, fun in the dancing fountains, night tours, and seating on Zoo property where we'll be able to see Tempe's huge fireworks display. This idea is good because of the ease of parking, food, cool activities for before the show, and not having to cram onto the frickin' hot sand to watch it.
Idea #3: Go to Tempe Beach Park, where the show will be great, but we'll have to find space on the frickin' hot sand, where a ton of other people will be, being bored until the fireworks start, and sweating, sweating, sweating. Ick.
Idea #4: Stay home, in the air conditioning, and watch fireworks on television.
I'm of a mind to roll with either Idea #1 or #2. Yes, cost, but comfort in the fireworks experience is highly desirable. I've given Brian all these options, and have allowed him some time to consider each one.
