Mike's Super Bowl XLIII Experience: Part 2
Two things I forgot in the last post: seat cushions and post game t-shirt sales.
I've seen Super Bowl seat cushions from time to time and I always wondered about them. Sometimes people have them at a Marlins game or a Canes game. Well, we got them. Everyone at the Super Bowl gets a soft, souvenir seat cushion to take home. I guess that's why the face value of the tickets is $800.
After the game we walked past a guy selling Steelers Super Bowl champions shirts. Since we happened to be walking with a group of Cardinals fans, someone asked "do you have any for the other team?" The guy said that he did and that he'd sell them to us for $10 each. They were knockoffs though. Had they been real, I probably would have bought one or two. Then I could cry every time I looked at it.

No - they were extras. They had their own parking lot and everything.
They didn't have seats for the game, at least as far as I could tell. It wasn't like the band at a college game.

If they want to stay for the game they have to buy tickets.
They're volunteers. And believe it or not they have a few dress rehearsals on the field in the days leading up to the game.
