Pablo Sanchez Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) So I'm back in town after my super bowl 40 weekend. For such a big crazy and over hyped event I kind of expected to be let down, and although the Steelers probably played their worst game of the playoffs they still won and it was very very very exciting. My Step Dad Mark is the Quarterback coach for the Steelers so I got a great ticket to the game, behind the steelers bench at about the 35 yard line 20 rows up. We got to go on the field after the game for the trophy presentation. It was pretty surreal to be there. I was satying at the Steelers hotel which was all the players, coaches and their families. There was a MASSIVE party after the game with tons of food and an open bar. They had the Commodores play (no Lionel Ritchie unfortunately)and they were a great party band. They played Brick House Twice!! Sorry Booche, no "How about that Phil Lesh" from the bus. The players were all there, but they had been through so much BS with fans all week that I didn't want to disturb the festive mood. Anyways... here are some pics: In the hotel at the party. Carved out of ice. On the field after the game. The cue to flash the little flashlights they gave you. Going up the tunnel out of the stadium going out of the tunnel. The signs that these people had were both kind of strange. One says "I missed chemotherapy for the superbowl" the other says "Forget college, we bought tickets" the whole Marriot was taken over by the Steelers organization. The food and drink scene was over the top Ben and Randel El, Ben was wearing his bathrobe and the post party. Its getting late... Kid Rock, Ben, and Casey Hampton This was the last picture I took at around 5am. why? I'm not sure Closed the party with a few Canadians.... too funny.

bradm Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Nice pics! There was a MASSIVE party after the game with tons of food and an open bar. I've had hotel front desks look like this after open bar experiences, too... Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Wow!!! That must have been an amazing experience. Great pictures!!! It is sweet that you were given access on to the field and to the party afterwards. I would love to see some more of your pictures. Thanks for sharing those.

Alexis Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 for a minute i thought ben in the bathrobe was gentlemonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottieking Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Unbelieveable! I was thinking about you all day. Those pictures of Ben are great. What an experience. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 I was only thinking of me the entire time. Thanks for nothing, wookie. Ross looks like he should have worn his bathrobe during the game, maybe he would have performed better than a 23% QB rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Sanchez Posted February 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 True that Ben had a lousy game, but he came through with some big plays when he needed to. Its hard to complain about Ben when they won the game and he played superbly in their dismantling of cinci, indy and denver. He's only 23! I think his chances are good of getting a chance to have a mvp performance in the big game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay sanislo Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 iam so jealous dude, Pittsburg is my favourite team too. How intense was that crowd when the steeler pulled off that flea flicker. I know i was jumping through my roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Sanchez Posted February 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 The crowd went crazy for sure. It was like the game was at Heinz field. It was unreal how many Steeler fans were there. I'm not sure if it came through on TV, but when they introduced Tom Brady to flip the coin he was greeted by deafening booing from the crowd. Same thing for Ray Lewis during the mvp thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancingbear Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) wow, that is one crazy trip!!! glad you had a great time. (still bleeping hate the steelers though) spencer p.s. i really thought the officiating stunk. especially the first offensive pass interference call, which could of changed the whole game.
