Super Bowl Recap.....

It is over! The countdown that has been appearing on our TV screen for one year is gone. All of the hype, the planning, the promoting, and the anticipation is in the past. Everyone nationwide is reflecting on the experience. The news that was covering the pre-game events for a week prior to the big day is now evaluating the event post game.
It all has mixed reviews. Jerry Jones dedicated many years to making this the biggest Super Bowl event in history. He built the biggest and grandest stadium. He made plans to cram as many people as possible into his "house" in order to set records. There would be nothing too grand for this
PARTY.
Dallas and Fort Worth made their plans. The metroplex wanted to be seen as welcoming and friendly. Work began early to clean up, set, up and be ready for America to witness true Texas hospitality. The football gods were not with us.

• The worst weather in anyone's memory arrived along with the Steelers and Packers
• The temperatures were so low for so long that we endured rolling blackouts. The Dart rail system was unable to run and workers could not get to restaurants and clubs to help serve the massive influx of people. "Closed" signs were popping up everywhere.
• Major events were cancelled. Prince did not even show up for his own party and ticket holders were left standing in the lobby, all dressed up with nowhere to go.
• Snow fell off the stadium and injured six workers, one critically.
• Tickets were sold to seats that did not exist...leaving 400 very angry fans standing with families and no where to sit.
• Parking cost some fans up to $500.
• Christina Aguilera could not remember the words to the Star Spangled Banner..really?
• The reviews on the half time show were mixed...personally I thought it was fun but most thought it was the worst ever.

So many of the flaws were uncontrollable acts of nature. We can accept that everyone did their best in that area.

The other.....seems like greed brought about many of the problems that left a bad taste in the mouth's of visitors. Maybe those that already have so much should just enjoy what they have and stop trying to fill their pockets at the expense of the simple man that is just trying to enjoy one of America's greatest pleasures...The Super Bowl.
