Late to the party, but I'm here. Can we slow down now?
I went to the Super Bowl Village yesterday in Indy. Neat to see, but overrated, IMO. I guess if you're into celebrity stalking and getting autographs, it is pretty good place to be. Just walking down the sidewalk, we hadn't been there long when we walked past Mike Greenberg. A little bit later we passed Mark Schlereth.
We also saw Jon Gruden, Mike Tirico, Colin Cowherd, Ron Jaworski, Cris Carter and Rachel Nichols near the ESPN set yesterday afternoon.
In addition to ESPN, we saw local news personalities all over the place. The Indiana guys know who I'm talking about, so let me just say
Angela Buchman looks even better in person than on TV.
It was fun to see the sights and do the zip line. Pan Am Plaza got pretty crowded yesterday afternoon though, so we headed home at around 6 pm. People would line up and flock anytime there was a TV camera or celebrity around though. The main thing I wanted to do was the NFL Experience, but DW's boss bought tickets for admission after 5 pm. I decided I wasn't going to wait 1 1/2 or 2 hours to throw or kick a football (I asked a guy who was coming out of the Field Goal kicking thing how long he waited and he said 2 hours

), especially since I had a pregnant wife with me who had just about had her fill of being on her feet. We just walked through, checked out the displays and left.

They had some neat displays to see, but I really think I'd much rather spend a day at the Hall of Fame. The NFL Experience was a bit of a disappointment. Still glad we had a chance to see it though.
One thing that caught my attention though, is that they have these "headless mannequin" things wearing a uniform of all the NFL teams. People can get up behind them and it looks like they're wearing that uniform for a picture. They had one for each team, but they had probably 4 or 5 for the Colts set up at various places inside the NFL Experience. I realize all the teams had "12" on the jersey, but when I started seeing these Colts #12's everywhere, it really seemed like they were trying to say something.
