SB XLVIII

After being gone for 27 days working in New Jersey, I am finally home!  My time this year working Superbowl was again a great experience and it was nice to see another city.  The view from my office this year changed drastically every day it seemed.  This is the view from the office day 1.....

One of my favorite views was of the sunrise and sunsets there.  This picture does not do it justice, it was so orange/pink it took your breath away.  Some thought this was an omen the Broncos would win.

Then, we experienced fog (mind you this is the same shot of the stadium from the same vantage point).  The fog was so thick there we had to use our GPS to find the office.

Then came the snow....oh the snow, snow, snow, snow!!  I thought when I saw the weather there I was prepared...I was not!  I cannot even describe the humid cold.  You could not be outside for more than a few minutes before every inch of your body literally hurt.

I took this picture for Matt as we were commuting home after they decided to shut down operations for the day.  The traffic was as thick as the snow.  Matt's reply was it was 58 degrees back home and he was outside reading a book.

After the snow was the lingering bitter cold as they shoveled snow and began the stadium transformation.  Although I did get a brief look inside the stadium the field was always covered making this the first year I haven't actually got to see the field.

There were a couple of days they practiced for game day with the choppers flying over, and over, and over.  Not sure if they showed much of this on Sunday, but it was pretty cool.

This is about all I saw of the game on Sunday as I stepped outside to get some pictures of the fireworks.  It was spectacular!!

I'm not sure why anyone would ever pay that much money to sit in an open stadium to watch a game in freezing NJ but the up side was I got to hear all of the halftime show.  Although it was a great experience, I am really looking forward to SB next year in sunny Arizona!
