...or just want to see yourself assuming you attended the game.

This is the best firsthand representation of the horrid sea of orange. 
As I've explained to others, geographically it was an obvious advantage for Denver. 
The fact that they are a historic franchise that is passed down through generations doesn't help.

I'm proud of the Panther Fans that were able to make the trip. Hopefully you still had an amazing experience.

I was there. Probably 85-90% Bronco fans and it sounded like that too. 

No it wasn't. 65-35 at the most and I still think that's high. There were definitely more Broncos fans but Panthers fans did a fine job representing considering it was more of a logistics challenge to travel.

At one point, I did have to leave my seat to go and find some advil - I was in the nosebleeds and got somewhat dehydrated (first aid station gave me advil and water).  When I came back into the bowl, I could clearly hear the Keep Pounding chant - even done properly with one part of the stadium doing Keep and the other part doing pounding.  I heard it often during the game as well as the Let's Go Panthers chants, but this time really stuck me because I was not in the middle of it.  Panthers fans represented well.

They were all over the city and the panthers pep rally at Superbowl City was packed as well as the Roaring Riot Tailgate (I met Montsta there - sought him out since I brought him a towel from the 1st playoff game and the bandana from the NFCCG).  And during the game, I sat right smack in front of cookingwithgas - I knew him as Wedge back in my old days on the huddle  - have even been to his house when the Hawk Boys came to town. We had both figured out in advance that we'd be sitting like that.  The Panthers DJ sat 2 rows in front of me so I was glad to see that he made it to the game.

Couple of bright spots from the trip: 

All Stubhub ticket purchasers got free entry into California's Great America (similar to a Six Flags theme park). It was only open for Stubhub purchasers. Everything was free. Only a few of the rides were closed. But every skill game, arcade game, and all the food, even the Dippin' Dots, were free. After we left, they had a meet and greet/autograph session with some current and former players. Pretty sure Howie Long and Tiki Barber were there. There were hardly any people in the park, so you could just walk up to any ride and get on.

We had no idea, so this was a nice surprise. Of course, we paid for it in the form of the Stubhub service fee, which was $500 or so a ticket, but we were going to pay that anyway. 

Everyone with anything to do with the game, including the Stubhub folks and the volunteers at the stadium, were really nice and energetic. They all seemed interested in making you happy to be at the Super Bowl. 

Couple low points: 

1) Levi's Stadium - totally underwhelming. I got the impression it was done on the cheap. Makes you appreciate BOA, for sure. The distance from San Fran is ridiculous. About an hour car ride from downtown San Fran. Might as well change the name of the team to Santa Clara, San Jose, or Bay Area. 

2) The Game.

I was looking for everyone and posted up in multiple threads trying to find people from here!

I was with KissMyConverse and Free Fua. There were several other Huddlers there but now I can't recall if I know people from the Huddle, Twitter, or IRL. The all blend together.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      yeah, I can get a little of that.  But that's not what he is posting in his argument just now though.   He said people wouldn't even concede to the literal ability to do it when pressed on the literal ability.  I have never seen that.  He maintains it exists somewhere.  I mean, using anomaly games to make arguments about players just isn't the way.   There wasn't a defender within 10 yards of our guys on 2 of those 3 throws Sunday.  No one within 5 on the 3rd.   That's not Bryce Young answering questions about his play downfield..  That's Bryce Young taking advantage of coverage busts by a bad D.  Which hey, that's part of the game too.  Recognition and seeing the field.   It can't totally be dismissed.   That's still good play.  You want your QBs to make those plays.  But it's not getting into the long standing critique of BY IMO.

      Adam Thielen on Young

      Deserved, I wouldn’t use that word. Asked for? For sure. Am I upset over it? No.  People forget that AT was throwing his helmet in frustration last season over his QB’s ineptitude. The same QB was pretty inept to start this year, no guarantee AT would have helped him in those games any more than he did last year.  Just sayin.  And Dan doing him a solid probably did not go unnoticed by players around the league. I think it increases his rep with potential FAs. It sure can’t hurt it.

      You think that was the fault of the guy that was lighting it up or maybe the bums around him? Funnily enough, those bums are still being bums in his absence. Who would have thought!
