An invitation from the NFL On Location unit has been issued for 700 fans to buy an “Exclusive Postgame On-Field Experience” after Super Bowl XLIV on 7 February at Dolphin Stadium. But these tickets are quite expensive. Individual ticket prices run from $5,749 to $9,799 that will depend on seat location. For that amount, customers will get their game ticket, four nights of hotel room, pregame and postgame parties, preferred parking and some other goodies. Access of the Super Bowl field is usually restricted to players and their families, TV crews and league staff. But the NFL is now trying to get a bigger part of the hospitality market.

Here is how it works, according to the league’s senior vice president of events Frank Supovitz. Fifteen minutes after the trophy presentation of Vince Lombardi, the 700 fans will be cycled by the league into the field. Each fan is entitled about 30 minutes. They can watch while TV reporters’ conduct interviews with game stars and players celebrate with their wives and kids. The postgame scene will last all night. There is a lot of time of live TV. There are players with their families with a considerable amount of time for drinking in the experience.
The regular ticket prices for the Super Bowl XLIV in Miami will be $500, $800, $900 and $1,000.

In February, Florida will be hosting its third Super Bowl in four years at Land Shark Stadium in Miami Gardens. One week before the event, the stadium will be used for the Pro Bowl of National Football League in its first mainland U.S. appearance in 35 years. The Pro Bowl will be returning to Hawaii in 2011 and 2012. Rodney Barreto is the leader of the South Florida Super Bowl XLIV Committee Group CEO. He says that they are still working on the private sponsorships. They are working with all government partners to ensure that all three counties will look right. There is a lot of work behind-the-scenes to make sure road construction will not be a problem, streets opened up and landscaping is in place.

An estimate of $400 million will be generated. An additional 40,000 people will be drawn by the Super Bowl who has no intention of going to the game and the stadium can hold 75,000. The city will probably spend around $15 million on a Super Bowl, between the cash and in-kind that will be raised. The host committee will provide the hotels of the two visiting teams.

Super Bowl 44: Q and A Part 2

4. Is it the same New York Jets? No. The same old Jets could have missed the playoffs in spite of the late-season gifts from the Indianapolis Colts and Cincinnati Bengals, who substituted their starters to rest while the Jets make the most of a win scenario with back-to-back victories. You can dismiss them as lucky at your own risk. Rex Ryan made an unpredictable overload blitzing scheme that was backed by the Pro Bowl cornerback Darrelle Revis’ shut-down is allowing a league-best 14.8 points a game. The Jets made a league-best rushing attack averaging 172.2 yards.

Ryan said the Jets should be favored to win Super Bowl, their weakness? Rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez. After starting with a 3-0, in the April draft he was the fifth over all selection, he hit the rookie wall, and forgot to slide. He’s 0-5 and he throws more than one interception. Whether they were lucky into the playoffs with Indianapolis pulling out their starters, the Jets are definitely good enough, says Miller. They have great defense and run the football. But the immaturity in their quarterback spot could cost them the game.

5.With Chris “Beanie” Wells the rookie averaging 4.5 yards rushing, can the Arizona Cardinals who are more balanced finish what they have not done in the final minutes of Super Bowl XLIII versus the Steelers? These Cardinals are now even better than the previous heavy team that came within a last-minute Ben Roethlisberger pass to Santonio Holmes touchdown pass of winning their first Super Bowl. Miller asks what quarterback has been better in postseason play than Kurt Warner? Now, they are a more well-rounded football team. But what about Kurt Warner? If he is hot, they are a sure winner, but if he is off in any of the game, then the team will lose. In four of their five losses where Warner has played, he has thrown 11 out of 14 interceptions.

6. Can the Bengals cope up with the scoreboard? Marvin Lewis the coach of the Bengals has been steady in guiding the tea, through two tragic losses, the sudden, October death of Vikki Zimmer, wife of Mike Zimmer defensive coordinator, and the tragic Dec. 17 death of Chris Henry wide receiver. But a 22nd-ranked scoring offense that is run-oriented is least potent among the playoff field. Take away Chad Ochocinco the receiver and Palmer has no other big-play options, as his one 300-yard passing game reflects. If they are two touchdowns down, can they catch-up? ask Miller. They need the game to be close where it’s only a touchdown or a field goal. If it boils down to a shootout, the Cincinnati Bengals can’t compete.

Superbowl 45: Previsited

“He throws! It’s a long pass. It’s. . .oh what an amazing catch at the 30 yard line! He’s at the 20, the ten—he scores! Touchdown!” The excitement, the adrenaline pumping rush of watching your favorite team crush their opponent and the ultimate goal of getting a touchdown. This is what real men do. We’re football fans and we’re not afraid to say it: I’ve got tickets for Superbowl 45! Yeah, that’s right, in-your-face! Okay, you know I’m jealous. And not just because you get to see the hottest game in America. But also became you get to visit one of the coolest towns this great country has to offer. So, if you’re heading down to see Superbowl 45, then you should totally be checking out some of the things Arlington, TX has to offer.

If you’re a sports fan (and if you weren’t, you wouldn’t be heading down to Arlington for Superbowl 45, now would you?), then you’ve got to check out the Legends of the Game Baseball Museum and Learning Center . The museum is open year round and celebrates America’s national pastime, Baseball (hey, I love football too, but let’s not forget the classics, ‘k?) The museum is located at Ameriquest Field in Arlington. The displays here include bats, jerseys, trophies and other memorabilia from baseball’s greatest players, both from the early parts of the game and the more recent past. Since this is Texas, the exhibits do focus heavily on the Texas Rangers and their history. The learning center is really great for kids, since it uses baseball to teach all kinds of subjects, such as math and science, but you have to see if anything is going on for them at the time which is open to the public. And of course, since it’s located next to the Ranger’s permanent home, you can also get a tour of the ballpark while you’re there for Superbowl 45.

And for the thrill seeker in you, go to nearby Dallas (that is after all the official home of the Dallas Cowboys) and check out Zero Gravity Dallas. This amazing amusement park is designed for adults and is the world’s only “Thrill Amusement Park.” What that means is that they have five different rides for the extreme rush enthusiast. There is of course a bungee jump. There is also a ride which is pretty self explanatory called the Nothin’ But Net. Then there is Texas Blastoff which pays homage to Texas’ role in the space race. And of course you can also check out the Skycoaster and the Skyscraper. It’s the perfect place to get a rush before you get a rush at the main attraction, Superbowl 45!

So, if you’re heading down to see Superbowl 44, then you should totally be checking out some of the things Miami has to offer.

For example, no trip to watch Superbowl 44 would be complete without a stop in Miami Sequarium. The sequarium is located right in the heart of the tourist area, on the road between downtown Miami and Miami Beach. It’s an incredible stop where you can see an outdoor aquarium that’s only possible in Miami’s tropical climate. Make sure you allow yourself at least half a day there (Maybe you should really make it Superbowl week instead of just Superbowl 44 Sunday).

No man’s vacation would be complete either without a visit to the world famous Miami Everglades. With 1.5 million acres of swamps, saw-grass prairies and sub-tropical jungles, Everglades National Park is probably the most unusual public park in the United States that you’ll ever have the chance to see. The park is on the southern tip of Florida and boasts 14 rare and endangered species, including the American Crocodile, the Florida Panther and the West Indian Manatee. Parts of the park are closed off and are only available to those with a strong sense of adventure and serious hiking experience. But others are more family friendly and are at least places where you won’t get so lost you miss the Superbowl 44 experience which you came here to enjoy to begin with.

Whatever you do down in Miami, it is really a tropical paradise. You can enjoy the wonderful beaches, the girls, the dancing and the nightlife. Yes, you’re making the trip in order to see Superbowl 44 and I’m with you on that. It’s totally awesome and I’d love to come also (got a spare ticket?), but don’t forget about everything this amazing town has to offer. You’ll thank me later.
