MY UNFORGETABLE EXPERIENCE at SUPER BOWL XLVIII

[adrotate group=”1″]

 

As most of you know I have been a Russell Wilson fan since before he was drafted into the NFL. So that is why I went.  Of course they had all the side events going on.  But it took all the money I had to buy the tickets and quarters to stay in and eat, and get there. So unless it was a free event I didn’t go.  So I will just skip to the main story.

 

Introduction

As a die-hard Russell Wilson fan, attending Super Bowl XLVIII was a dream come true. The energy, the anticipation, and the sheer magnitude of the event left an indelible mark on my memory. Let me take you through my unforgettable experience at this historic game.    (I am still upset with Pete Carroll, for losing the next year by not allowing the “BEAST” MARSHAWN LYNCH, carry the ball into the endzone for a back to back SUPER BOWL WIN !

The Matchup

  Super Bowl XLVIII took place on February 2, 2014, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. It was a clash between the Denver BRONCOS (AFC champions) and the Seattle SEAHAWKS (NFC champions). The stakes were high—the coveted title of NFL champion for the 2013 season hung in the balance.

The Dominant Seahawks

From the moment the game kicked off, it was clear that the SEAHAWKS were on a mission. Their defense was relentless, stifling the BRONCOS’ offense led by the legendary Peyton Manning. The SEAHAWKS held the BRONCOS scoreless in the first half, taking a commanding 22–0 lead. The stadium buzzed with excitement as Seattle fans erupted in cheers.

Bruno Mars and Red Hot Chili Peppers

I was uimpressed by the half time show.  I usually am.  (The only one I enjoyed was the Lady Gaga performance).     BUT some had this to say about the show that day.  

The halftime show was electrifying. Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers took the stage, delivering a performance that had everyone on their feet. The energy, the lights, and the music—it was a spectacle that added to the grandeur of the event.

The Final Score

As the game progressed, the SEAHAWKS continued their dominance. They went up 36–0 before allowing the BRONCOS their only score—a mere consolation touchdown. The final score: Seattle SEAHAWKS 43, Denver BRONCOS 8. It was the largest margin of victory for an underdog in Super Bowl history.

Malcolm Smith’s MVP Performance

I didn’t agree with this.  To me there were 2 better choices.  Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch.  But to my chagrin,  THEY didn’t even ask me for my input.  (That is why I have not attended the Super Bowl again).   😉

      Malcolm Smith, the SEAHAWKS linebacker, was named the Super Bowl MVP. His interception return for a touchdown and overall defensive prowess sealed the deal. The SEAHAWKS celebrated their first-ever Super Bowl victory, while the BRONCOS faced their fifth Super Bowl loss—a record at the time.

A Cold-Weather Showdown

Super Bowl XLVIII was unique for several reasons. It was the first Super Bowl played outdoors in a cold-weather city. The chilly New Jersey air added an extra layer of excitement. And to top it off, it was the first Super Bowl to be played on February 2.

As I left MetLife Stadium that night, I couldn’t help but feel privileged to witness history. The SEAHAWKS dominant performance, the halftime show, and the camaraderie among fans—it all came together to create an experience I’ll cherish forever. Super Bowl XLVIII wasn’t just a game; it was a celebration of football, passion, and unforgettable memories.

So here’s to the SEAHAWKS,  the BRONCOS, and the magic of Super Bowl XLVIII—a moment frozen in time, etched in my heart forever.

     The highlight of the experience was watching Russell’s precision passes and, of course his running and staying away from the BRONCOS defense. 🏈🎉
