Super Bowl 42: NFL Experience

We finally got into the Super Bowl 42 mix by attending the NFL Experience down by the University of Phoenix Stadium, site of the big game.
It was a long, and I mean long walk from the parking lot adjacent to the event and the line for folks waiting to buy tickets was outrageous and wouldn't be surprised if it was a 90 minute wait, and this was late in the afternoon. We had to wait in a short line for will call tickets.
Once inside, it was crowded, but well organized. The "Experience" included a number of interactive events (kicking, throwing, running, catching) that also had long lines, exhibits of such things as uniforms throughout the years and sponsored booths featuring current and former NFL players. That was our main focus.
This video includes: Chad Johnson, Brayon Edwards, Reggie Wayne, Antonio Gates, Marc Bulger, Alex Smith and a host of others. The players were all friendly and some even talked on fans' cell phones, saying their hellos to jealous friends "back home."
The NFL Experience is still going today, but it would not be someplace I'd want to be near given the traffic, crowds, etc.. We're off to another SB 42 event.

I went to this in the rain with our flag football team and had a blast. We didn't see any players but had a great time running all the drills. The rain kept the people away so there were no lines. We were in tents the whole day so it was cool.
