Super Bowl XLIV....the OFFICIAL thread

[y2blade]

anyone else looking forward to this?

[GTiR Al]

Oh yes - got a table booked at our local Bodean's BBQ to watch it again. Cracking night of football usually!

Saints to win btw!!!

[RobFerrari]

Yep I can't wait, love NFL and try to watch at least 1 game per week, and I have seen all of the playoff matches this season.

Disappointed to see Favre pretty much end his career with that interception, I know he has "retired" a few times before but I think this might be it for him, anyone else agree?

Think the Colts will get it, but really its down to whichever teams defence steps up to the plate because there is no disputing both teams have great offences.


Is there a bigger NFL thread on PH?

[anonymous-user]

Being a lifelong Pats fan in Indy isn't much fun at the moment.

If they win the White River will be dyed blue again and I won't stop hearing about it, probably ever.

I enjoyed the 2 championship games on Sunday, although I didn't enjoy the early morning support call from a customer on Monday morning.

I'm not bothered who wins the Superbowl (I'm I Dolphins fan) as long as it's a decent game.

Anyone buying tickets for this years London game between the 49ers and Broncos? Didn't do last years as I was skint and not much different this year, so I need to make a quick decision seeing as they are available from 1st Feb and then general sale 5th Feb.

Got the full, unedited feed here in Luanda shown on ESPN... hugely looking forward to it, as I've only seen a couple of games this year.

Will be staying up all night to watch this one, would love the Saints to win, but I suspect that it will be a Colts title.

Am going to buy tickets to the London game, although I have no idea if I'll be in the UK to actually go!

Yes, tickets just purchased for the London games. Will be my first live game.

Does anyone have any experience of watching the Super Bowl in bars around London?

How did you manage to get tickets?
Ticketmaster are telling me that they're not on sale until Feb 5th unless you're a member of something?

[Russ35]

You needed to be signed up to the register of interest, you then get a code that allows you to book tickets before they go on general sale.

[K50 DEL]

Today was a good day..... ESPN here in West Africa are showing the Pro Bowl... that's tonight's viewing sorted out then!

[Jimbeaux]

All set over here, especially being in Louisiana....Go Saints!

Tickets to the game are going for $1800 for the cheap seats up to $300,000 for the box suites. My living room on a 60" HDTV....free!

[escort90]

I know.... I don't pay that much to the touts for my game tickets when I go to see matches in the USA, I'm certainly not paying that much to watch a game in the UK!

As I said earlier, around $1,800 for the peasant seats. Box and suites are going for up around $300,000. Again, my living room is free.

To be honest I've never even tried to get tickets to the Superbowl, I always figured that they were impossible to obtain unless you wanted to pay thousands of dollars.

For the regular season games, I can normally get a decent ticket for well under $100 depending on which team I'm going to see. (I got tickets to the Chiefs match for free last year Lol)
