I went last year. It was fun, but cold as a MF. There was also a lot of waiting around as everything was late getting started. But, it was exciting being there.
I went in 2007, it was in the stadium. I think it was the last one they had inside the Stadium, it was a lot of fun, cold but fun. After they lost the SB that year I decided to never go to a send-off again. But if you haven't gone to one before I would definitely suggest it.
