What road games have you attended?
Any tales good or bad? Recommendations. Tips or heads up for others should they attend.
Me? Ive been to 7 Super Bowls - 38, 39, 42, 46, 49, 52, 53. Quite frankly, I was tired of going to them and it was a relief when the dynasty crashed. I drove to every SB and never had a problem finding lodging and not for crazy prices either. Typically i always arrived 1 week early because the SB is more than just the game. I had a firm price that I would pay for a Super Bowl ticket and did not deviate from it. I made it inside to only 2 of the 7 Super Bowls - both Giants- both losses. Great seats for both games.
SB 42, I sat at the 50 yard line 3rd level. Which was like 2nd level in other stadiums because the Cardinals playing field is sunk down below the ground elevation. I met a character from Boston whose father was on the Red Sox ground crew. This guy never met a stranger in his life He met a real nice couple from Baltimore and the husband worked for ESPN. At the very last minute he had to work and he sold me his ticket. Face value was $700 and he sold it to me for $1000 which was a bargain.
Before the season began, I placed a bet in Vegas on a Pats SB win. I was 2 minutes away from cashing in. I was going leave AZ driving North across the Hoover dam (never been) and on to Vegas to collect and head home. Its a long drive and even longer when you're the losing team.
SB 46, I sat in the Loge section approximately 35 yard line. With a bunch of Giants fans, but they were mostly good people. One guy was a cop, so he wasnt a jackass like some NY fans. I bought my ticket 15 minutes prior to KO. I had met a ticket broker from Canada and had given him my number. I was heading to a bar to watch the game when he called. He sold me a $900 face value ticket for $1000. Great deal. I beat feet to the stadium and made it for kickoff.
I spent a lot of time at the media hotel. Find the media hotel if you go to a SB. I was inside mulling around and Drew Brees walked right past me. I didnt say anything, but got the impression that he isnt that social. I met Moose Johnson waiting for a ride to an interview and Jon Gruden waiting outside too. Both really nice people. Adam Schefter walked past me. I saw Jared from Subway acting like douche which makes sense now after they threw him in jail.
My Super Bowl tips.
1 Try to get there early.
2 Network with people if you need a ticket.
3 Find the media hotel. Hit the bar for a drink.
4 Beware of crooks. Every scammer in the country is working the Super Bowl.
