Super Bowl XLVI

One of my favorite stops.  Yummy!

Can't come to Indy without seeing an Indy car.

ESPN

What an experience!

He scores!

A little to the left! He pulled a Cundiff.

A for effort.

Gronk!

Cheers! A beer in Super Bowl Village.

The crowds! This was before we became part of the human gridlock!

On Friday Devin and I headed downtown with Colby and my dad to experience the Super Bowl festivities.  It was awesome.  We started with checking out the circle and then headed down to the Super Bowl Village.  On the way we stopped off at St Elmos for a little shrimp cocktail.  I have never seen Indy like this.  The atmosphere was amazing.  Making our way through the village we saw the zip line and where ESPN was reporting from in the Pan Am Plaza.  Dad left us for a few minutes to go to a reception and we went into the NFL Experience.  We stood in line for the Extra Point Kick and the Kick, Punt, Pass.  Each line was about an hour long but it was well worth it for the memory and a laugh.  Next time we will spend more time in the Experience we had no idea what to expect.  After our attempts at being scouted by NFL teams were uneventful we met back up with Dad outside where thousands of people filled the streets.  It was a mess trying to get back out to Mass Ave where we parked.  The weather was amazing this week and there is no way Indy expected the crowds they received.  The only bummer is as far as celebrity spottings I totally failed unless you count Jim Cantore from the Weather Channel and Mike Smith the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons.  I give Indy an A+ for hosting this Super Bowl and can't wait until it is our turn to do it again.
