• Crazy Or Spontaneously Adventurous?

  Last night I was sitting there watching t.v. when I had avery interesting idea which some might consider totally nuts, or cool buteither way certainly not boring: going to the Super Bowl. Well, not really theactual game. But, the Super Bowl is a whole week long event, not just a game.Oh, sure the game itself is an actual game in that two teams play a four hourfootball game to determine who is the best team in the NFL. But, the wholeSuper Bowl is so much more than that.

  The week of the Super Bowl is a total event in the host city complete withconcerts and celebrities and parties and all sorts events. In short, it is theplace to be; almost the entertainment capital of the world for a week. Thisyear's Super Bowl is being held in Indianapolis.And being that I live in the southwest suburbs of Chicago,I'm not all that far from Indy, in fact from my house to Lucas Oil Stadium itis only a three hour and 12 minute drive. Basically, a day trip. As a matter offact, this is the closest the Super Bowl has ever been to Chicagoand probably the closest it will ever be.

  Now as much as I would like to go to the actual game, I'm not exactly going todrop $4,000 on a ticket. But, going to the whole pregame parties and the eventson Saturday is certainly a possibility. They even have a fan fest there that is$25 and gets you a chance to meet some players and experience other things. TheSuper Bowl is pretty much every football fan's wet dream; shit, even casualfans or even non fans would love to go. And here I have the opportunity of alifetime to go, but alas my none of my friends have any interest in going.

  Sigh. I guess this is just something that a single guy with no kids couldrealistically do, but people who are married or with kids would have asignificantly tougher time doing. I won't rule it out though. I can't say thaton Saturday I definitely won't get up and drive down there.
