Super Bowl Experience

Two straight days at the Super Bowl Experience:

Tuesday with Will and today with Reid.

The main attraction: a picture with the Lombardi Trophy.

The wait to get the Lombardi Trophy pic could run over an hour,

so both days it was the first stop. On Tuesday we had hardly any wait.

Wednesday the que (below) was almost half full. 

 The Shrine.

With no school on Tuesday due to the snow,

lots of families took advantage of the free kids admission.

Also crowded on Wednesday.

Both Will and I successfully passed into the basket on our first try.

Will also made the further basket on his second try.

We both flubbed field goal tries,

and I bested Will in the three target scramble.

Videos to be posted later this week.

Three souvenir stands, including one in the CNN Center. 

 

Tuesday I wore my Brett Favre Falcons jersey, and received several compliments (and one Dan Stryzinski question). Wore my Bengals Carson Palmer jersey on Wednesday to change things up, and spent the afternoon being mistaken for a Ohio resident. 

Saw only two or three other Bengal jerseys,

and zero Falcon Favre jerseys.

 My Hall of Fame bust.

The volunteer thought it turned out well.

 The above picture was taken inside this box. 

A jersey from the second half of Johnny U's career, after the NFL/AFL merger, when NFC teams added names to the jerseys. 

 Hall of Fame kicker Morten Andersen.

Several broadcasts were originating from the Super Bowl Experience:

the NFL Network, CBS Sports Network, and two local channels.

Will insisted on the picture. At the fanfest before the 1999 Super Bowl a much younger Will struck a similar pose.

 Note the strategically placed products inside the lockers:

toothpaste, shampoo, etc.
