The Journey Begins in Tampa
After making the 15 hour drive from Bloomington to Tampa, we arrived around 830 pm, just in time to grab some dinner and check in to the hotel. We had some Sushi in North Tampa and called it an early night.
Today we got up early and headed into Tampa for the festivities. We walked all around the stadium area and the NFL Experience. it was a great time and the city has been taken over by Steeler fans. We’ve seen a few Arizona fans but not very many.
One of the highlights today was going to the area where they do the NFL Network’s TV show live. Rich Eisen, Deion Sanders and Terrell Davis were on the set. We saw Rod Woodson talking to the Thunderbird pilots (they are doing the flyover) and the Steeler Fans were running the set. It was very exciting, each time they would come back from commercial, we would start the “Here we go Steelers” chant… the TV guys were loving it.
I’ve got some great photos and video that I’ll be uploading when I get back to Indiana, this will be a fun video diary after it’s all pulled together.
Here We Go Steelers!
