calling up your catering supplier and asking them what’s the deal on airline food
My uncle was an executive at Aramark (that’s how I got tickets to Super Bowl XXX!) so I warmly appreciate this.
Cowboys vs. Steelers in Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona, January 1996.
There’d been some backlash to the Cowboys as “America’s Team” (which was really about the national mediated culture finally reaching past the northeast and “Rust Belt” industrial upper midwest, just like the “Achy Breaky” 90s country boom) and the Steelers were from my Pennsylvania, but while I would have rooted for the Eagles my general instinct to side with the greater aligned me with the ‘Boys and they won.
I’d been hoping for an onsides kick, but I think there was a good one in a semifinal game previous.
We had individual seat cushions on the benches, with a packet with a 2-sided color card and instructions how to flip it around to create manually pixelated graphics for the halftime show (we had practices!) and goodies, I remember this was my first exposure to BreatheRight nasal strips.
On the way out of the stadium the vendors already had Cowboy win commemoration gear ready to go; that’s why you hear about wrong-winner surplus clothes being donated to Africa.
