I'm relatively new posting here been reading this site for years. Some of this may have been mentioned but I was lucky enough to attend the Super Bowl and I have some pretty cool stories.
First of all I got totally trolled by my buddy from NY who told me after week 8 that if the Seahawks made the Super Bowl - he'd get us tickets. Trolled, in that after we made the SB, he told me he bought us tix in section 304. As I'll get to soon - he was a little bit off.
Flew out of Tri-Cities Friday afternoon, connection in Seattle on Jet-Blue- full flight of Seahawk Jerseys. It was a red-eye getting in at like 5:30 am, It was a little comical, because when we all got seated the female flight attendant got on the intercom and said that if the flight got too rowdy, they'd have to divert and land somewhere else. She sounded scared, which was funny because most of us just wanted to go to sleep.
Anyhow, once in NYC - it is like most reported - way more Hawk fans than Broncos. The guy running the taxi line said he'd hardly seen any Orange.
On Saturday we went to Carlow East on UES - it was full of Hawk fans - everyone was fired up. So cool being in a bar w/ so much energy at 3 in the afternoon.
Later went downtown to Macy's (where NFL shop was set up on 4th floor) - it was a zoo but the Seahawk stuff was really picked through and mostly gone - Bronco stuff was plentiful. Heard a worker mention that some Bronco fans had finally showed up on Saturday and they were worried they'd be sending most the Bronco stuff back. True Story.
Anyhow - game day - perfect weather - we drove to MetLife and it only took like 20 min from the UWS. Parked next to some hawk fans in crazy dreadlocks - hawk head get- ups. It was awesome. :179417:
Walking into tunnel and seeing all fans was surreal.
Anyhow, it was about this time when my buddy had to hand over the ticket for security (which only took 5 minutes) - we were sitting in Section 139 Row10 (which was actually the 5th row up "on the 47 freaking yard line!".
And to top it off we had access to the Rooftop Club (which wasn't on the roof but on field level at the 50 yard line). Free food, drinks, music (The Flutie Brother's band - Doug was on drums). Jet cheerleaders. and P. Garcon signing autographs - I got an autograph, but when someone asked him who he thought would win, he said, "Definitely Denver". LOL It also (rooftop club Ticket included on field access post-game.)
This heavenly experience lasted for 3 hours - and included an outdoor area where we watched the teams warm up and various celebs walk past - Costner, A. Paul, Sapp, Irvin, and ugh - Pamela Oliver (who I wanted to boo).
I'll cut it off here and start a new one commenting on the game and post game - hopefully this is worth reading.
