My Arizona Superbowl Trip

So I was fortunate enough to go to the Superbowl this year. Left Rochester for Arizona and got there late afternoonish on Saturday. Got picked up from the airport by a black H2 Hummer limo with spinning rims. The thing was way to long and had difficulty navigating through the Phoenix airport :lol:

Stayed at the Marriot in Scottsdale. Coincidentally a bunch of golf pros were also staying there because the FBR Open was being held in Scottsdale at the same time, so there was a shitload of security all over the place.

This is the view outside the room.

That night we went to this resteraunt for dinner.

The food there was um interesting I guess? I’ve never had wine poured for me in so many different ways thats for damn sure.

From there we went to the John Travolta and Marshall Faulk Saturday Night Spectacular Party. A bunch of the models from Deal or No Deal were there out kickin on the dance floor which was pretty crazy.

Picture from above

That blue glowing object in the right corner was the open Belvedere Vodka Bar and of course I took advantage of that all night. Drinking Vodka and Tonics :wink:

One thing I found funny was Chris Collinsworth (pictured on right) out dancing on the dancefloor with the deal or no deal models.

Some of you may recognize him from the Inside the NFL show on HBO or other NBC stuff he’s done. His whole family was there, his oldest daughter (blonde in pic) was pretty hot I’m not going to lie.

Then after a charity auction REO Speedwagon came out to play.

The day of the big game we headed out early to go to the Bud Bowl Watering Hole: Pre-Game Party. Again another pretty kick ass party if you ask me.

Pat O’Brien and Jim Brown

After that we made our way towards the stadium, through the masses in the mall section of the complex.

Saw this giant Pepsi guy walking closer to the stadium

Finally outside the stadium.

Inside the stadium, 8th row behind Giants bench. This is the view to the left. I didn’t realize until about halfway through the game but Chuck Liddell was sitting like 10 seats away from us, apparently he’s a Giants fan?

Giant’s coming out of tunnel through the flags.

I didn’t get any photos of the Tom Petty half time show I had way to much food and shit in my hands to have the camera out.

I will say if you saw all the little lights during that performance that they gave everyone a mini led flashlight and gave instructions through the bigscreens on what to do during the halftime show.

Some other random photos. I found a lot of my pictures of the game were really blurry.

I guess I haven’t mentioned that I’m a Pats fan (orig from Boston). The Giants played well and it was a really exciting Superbowl. I was watching Brady through the Binoculars though and you could tell he still wasn’t walking correctly so I’m guessing thats why he got sacked so often and his long range accuracy was horrible.

But anyway I thought this was funny, lots of people feeling the need to rub the loss in :rofl:

hahahahhaha silly msgs.

awesome pics :tup:

i wanted to make the trip and stay with my uncle…but had no time :frowning:

wow. you need a better camera or less caffeine :stuck_out_tongue:

nice story though…

What do tickets go for? I heard the face value is 700 but the minimum was 3 grand a seat. Does this include any of the pre-parties or events? Looks like a great time. I def. need to attend atleast 1 superbowl before I die.

looks like fun!!

pretty cool pictures, looks like a good time…did your work send u?

:lol: SB doesn’t work, he hires people to work for him.

thats awesome dude.

I went with my father. He had been to all the recent Patriots Superbowls prior, and said next time the Pats go to the Superbowl were both going and we did.

:rofl:

:tup:

Wow very cool. I remember telling myself halfway through the season I wanted to pick up tickets for the game this year… yeah, wayyyyy too pricey. Looks like a blast, I’ll make it to one sooner or later.

wow good stuff!

It’s a crazy experience, I highly recommend it if you ever get a chance.
