Not a great start for Dave & his mates, just seen Kings have lost in Oklahoma 127-113 (NBA).......Score predictions, CD 28-38 @250/1, AS on (Sac Spts) 25-27 @150/1 both to 49ers, 24-21 @100/1 either team. Quid or two on each.

I’m usually over there for Superb Owl. The drinking is great and the food can be but as much as I’ve tried, I just get easily distracted and by just after the half time show, the little care I had evaporates.
The added bonus of the MAGA morons furious if Kansas wins would be great though (also remembering that Trump congratulated the team from the “great State of Kansas” last time they won. They are from Missouri).

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce will steal the show again. Chiefs win!! They're both just big game players. It was almost inevitable. Some ending that!

If you ever get the chance to do one of the following, do so! - Super Bowl party in America. - Attend the Super Bowl. Both great times.

Done a few of the former in Colorado, unlikely I’d spend that much on the latter!

Big mistake in any sport to not take the initiative. Cool to hear you’ve been to a Super Bowl. Those seat prices are far too rich for my blood and I always assumed that the atmosphere would be very sterile due to the prices likely attracting a more corporate crowd. Is it the whole atmosphere around the entire weekend that make it worthwhile or is the game itself that much better than an average game? Have friends in Phoenix and whenever it is back there next I’ve discussed staying with them and going to some of the weekend festivities but not the game itself.

Have friends in Phoenix and whenever it is back there next I’ve discussed staying with them and going to some of the weekend festivities but not the game itself. I thought the 49ers Defense was solid, right up until the last few minutes of OT. (the Chiefs though almost reminded me of what the Springboks do in Rugby, just keep coming after , until they eventually break you down). I think last years super bowl (#57) (Glendale, Arizona) pretty much phoenix/scottsdale area was what made it for me last year. I went with 2 buddies who are Eagles fans (One of which I promised to take years ago, if the Eagles ever got there) and me more so a neutral, my team I do tend to follow is the Cowboys. Like Town it's always "Next year" . What I found really good was as soon as you landed in the airport it's SuperBowl mania. You just see thousands of fans arriving (I arrived 2 days before) all effectively in their teams colors. Almost festival like atmosphere. Upbeat, fun and all excited. it was the same weekend as the Waste Management Golf tournament too, so thousands up thousands were out. Which made the weekend bars and nightlife really a good time busy, but a really good time. From live bands to DJs was great. The prices are definitely expensive, American sport in general has astronomical prices. We had really good seats. Section 141 (right behind the upright), and was 2 rows behind the guy who caught the winning kicked ball too. But, there's a lot of people who spend their life saving to go to their favorite teams Super Bowl if they ever get there. Some the wait is much longer. E.G Browns The US national anthem, which Americans are extremely patriotic and passionate about. (I do wish us Brits were more patriotic about our nation and anthem) The respect to their armed forces. (See above point for us Brits too) The game was very good too. Chiefs 38-35 Eagles from what I recall. Really high technical and scoring game. Atmosphere in the stadium was also good. Im not normally a fan of US games atmosphere, all a bit cheesy and corny for me, whether thats "Soccer", Baseball, Basketball, A. Football. The better atmospheres tend to be Hockey games. FYI next few Super Bowls will be in: #59 - New Orleans (Great place to enjoy festivities. good food too) #60 - Santa Clara, California (Near Justasmithers (about 1-1.5hrs drive from San Fran) maybe I can see if I can build a relationship with him and Kevin, and see if I can meet them out there, if they go. #61 - not confirmed yet, but I did hear some rumors that it may be in Dallas (or that could be year after). I hope so though, having lived in Dallas that'd be an amazing weekend. Hope that answers your question bud.

You need to treat your friends to a Challenge Cup final weekend, then they’ll experience drinking… 😉 Or failing that, any London away game with Toon on a weekend… On a more boring note, sport does seem to be edging towards pricing out normal punters for big events. If there are normal folk who are truly avid supporters of things, it’s a real shame that they literally have to forgo so many things just to pay for their fix. I’m also thinking of things like F1 here as well, very much things driven by name dropping and celeb culture etc.

Shows how much interest I took in it. I thought Taylor Swift was the halftime entertainment, with all the publicity this week. Turns out she's just shagging one of the players and the HT was apparently done by some bloke named after a cinema ice cream seller 🤷

To be fair, UK is getting better for the treatment of veterans, although there are still FAR too many that end up on the streets, which also still happens in the US. NCIS have done a few episodes highlighting veterans' plights over there, with it being the No1 show for so long they apparently brought a lot of exposure to the problem. And the US citizenry were absolute bastards to the Vietnam vets when they came back, it's only since about 80s that Americans have been so vocally supportive of their vets.

Last year was only 2 mind: Miami & Vegas. (Both absolutely stupid pricing, and viewing for any form of hospitality was awful). This year: Mexico, Spa (Belgium), and looking at maybe Brazil.
