My Super Bowl Experience

[WeezyBengal]

 left Friday evening to go out to LA for the game. We got to our hotel Friday in downtown and just kind of hung out (it was late).

We got up Saturday morning, ate breakfast, and headed out to the NFL experience at the convention center. They had a bunch of different exhibits and games you could play. They also had a huge NFL merch store where I bought a ton of Super Bowl stuff. I think the highlight of the NFL experience was really the games. Pretty fun to go up against the rest of my family and see how accurate we were throwing footballs and kicking field goals, etc.

Later that night we went to Bengal Jims tailgate. That was a great event at some brewery about a mile from our hotel. There were a TON of Bengals fans there. Coolio came on and had a special performance. He was actually really good.

Sunday came and we hopped on the shuttle to the game around 10 am. Got to the the stadium and...WOW. Incredible venue with an incredible area surrounding it. Just beautiful. Outside there is a huge pond with ducks, birds, ect. The stadium itself looked gorgeous from the outside. I thought it was a dome but it's actually an outdoor stadium with a huge canopy covering the top of it. I've never seen a stadium quit like it.

We tailgated at a special event where they had live music, food, and drinks. Wyclef was actually performing which was super cool. We made our way into the game about two hours before kick off. We were in the lower level and Mixon was casually tossing with Bengals fans as we walked in. He threw someone a pass right next to me. Clark Harris was doing the same thing.

The stadium inside was just as cool as the outside. It's actually mostly underground as the airport is close by and they had to do this because of the sound/vibration emitting from the stadium. It's a huge stadium that has great lighting. We had to walk by the suites to get to our seats and there were a ton of celebrities. We walked past Ellen, Charlize Thereon (sp?), Antonio Brown, Mario Lopez, Tracy Morgan. We sat about 5 rows in front of Joe Burrows Dad and his girlfriend. Antonio Brown was acting a fool the entire game - lifting up his shirt, standing on his suite railing and yelling at people. Security was called at one point because there was a mob of people around him trying to get a selfie. I actually gave him my phone at one point and he tried to get a selfie but completely e'ffed up with pic lol.

The game itself was great and halftime show was a highlight of the entire trip. I like those artists and music so I was loving it. I think they did a great job.

Rams fans after the game were lame as hell. They seemed more interest in talking shit to me than they were in celebrating their Super Bowl. They also didn't seemed super enthused about winning. Not a ton of celebration. I just know when the Bengals beat the Raiders and Titans (I was at those games) we seemed to be on a completely different level of joy/happiness.

All in all it was a great trip and awesome experience. Check out some pics below:
