In the House, Super Sunday
I can tell you this about the pre-game atmosphere inside the University of Phoenix Stadium:
The audio is turned up to "11" on a scale of 2-to-10.
It is loud. Seriously loud. And that has nothing to do with the fans. It's just the PA system cranked up to the max. It's the sort of noise that will cause headaches, if you listen to it long enough.
Alicia Keyes just did her thing. And now a bunch of groundskeepers are o the field, picking up shrapnel, or whatever her performance left behind.
Fans are pouring into the stadium. Most of them appear to be in their seats, more than an hour before kickoff.
Weirdest fans I've seen so far?
The three guys dressed up in Revolutionary War garb. Long blue coats, breeches, white wigs. You know, like the patriot that used to be on the New England helmets -- before the Flying Elvis, that is.
And that wasn't enough for them. They went with the red-white-and-blue face paint, too.
And, just in case we missed their costume-party look ... two of them were screaming at the tops of their lungs about doing something rude to Giants quarterback Eli Manning.
I think some of these fans may have inbibed in beer and strong spirits before they came into the yard. They're acting goofy.
I guess once you've paid $700 (minimum, and probably more like $2,000) for a ticket, you want to make SURE you have a good time -- or at least think you're having one.
