Update - I was also in the game. Crazy turn of events as I was never planning to. Ha-hah.
I was going to join mcolby at a tailgate nearby while my girlfriend and one of our site members (NoelGallagher screename - now hopefully a good friend) go to the game based on two tix he purchased last morning. I declined to buy thinking I will try my luck later.
He (Noel) gracefully suggested that I take his tix and do the NFL Experienxe with my girlfriend so that I can at least soak a bit of the atmosphere and the happenings. It was only for ticket holders on Sunday. He had seen it the previous day and said he can hang around no big deal.
So, plan was that I return around 3 pm and give the tix to him so that he can go in to the stadium.
Well, after having a nice time at the NFL Experience, imagine our horror when the security said I cannot exit and no reentry was possible and that have to go to the stadium. I was in disbelief and ran around to different security personnel and the NFL ticket resolution place pleading that I need to step out and as i need to pick up something urgent.
No way.
All said that rules were changed that morning and that entering that NFL experience yesterday was the same as entering the stadium and that tix has already been scanned.
My gosh. Imagine my agony of telling the new friend that his assumptions on reentry now don’t hold good and worse, he cannot enter the game with the ticket he paid for!
So we scrambled and he was extremely lucky to find a single tix online for slightly above the price he got the other two this morning. and quickly snapped it. We agreed to split the difference. Prices shot up immediately and we were in stark disbelief at the turn of events and emotions.
As a result, ended up watching the game live at the stadium.
First three quarters were torturous and after seeing Chung go out, i was wondering what luck I had to have to suddenly pay so much for a ticket and watch this.
But faith in our Team prevailed and was in ecstasy to see us win it.
My first SB and another win for us!! Yippee!!!
Whew!! Throat is so hoarse shouting Brady and Defense.
Go PATS!!
