My Super Bowl experience

My experience excludes the big game but I'm part of almost everything else. The crowds affects me, the traffic affects me, I'm just as excited about the event as any other fan and yesterday I walked around downtown and went to the Super Bowl Village.

This is on the south spoke of Monument Circle;

 That's the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in the background

 "The Huddle" is temporary and occupies the space formerly filled by Nordstrom's. It's pretty nice!

 Those are the faces of the Super Bowl, aka the volunteers

 This is just part of the Village and even though it didn't open for a few more hours, there were tons of people out and about. I think it's still mostly locals.

Because there are so many streets closed to traffic, it's really something to be downtown and walking in the streets. How great for all the fan and visitors. I hear that Indy has gotten high marks for "walkability". That's so great!

 I LOVE all the graphics ~ signs and banners everywhere!

 Here's the ESPN broadcast booth in Pan Am Plaza

 That's the Convention Center, where The NFL Experience has taken over. I've heard that we have the highest attendance in history! So cool!

 That's where the big game is gonna be!!! Oh, and to the left, that's the tower for the zip line.

 Go GIANTS!

 BOOOOOOOOO

 This is St. Johns. I LOVE the sign they put out front. St. Johns sits on one of the closed streets...the one that the zip line zips down :-)

I know the city has several sky walks but I had no idea there were so many of them!

 Another sky walk, plus another one a little farther down

 Oh, that's who I work for :-)

The Giants get to stay just a couple blocks from the stadium. The Patriots are a couple MILES from the stadium.

 This is one of the newer sky walks

I added this picture for perspective, so you can really see how GIGANTIC that graphic is!!
