The Super Bowl frenzy in New York and New Jersey was palpable. The #1 Offensive team, Denver Broncos led by the legendary Peyton Manning, going up against the #1 Defense in the League, the Legion of Boom, the Seattle Seahawks. New York was hosting Super Bowl boulevard and New Jersey was hosting the actual game in Met Life stadium.
It was the first time in Super Bowl history the big game was being played in an open dome stadium in a cold city. In short, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity for anyone that was able to see the game live. Unfortunately tickets were going for close to $2,000 a pop and so many didn’t even dare to dream to be there, they would indeed need to wait until their next lifetime. But then on the Thursday before Super Bowl Sunday, Kars4Kids began to give hope to so many…

A few thousand hearts sank but one soared as Jason T. from Virginia received an email that clinched his life. After the initial shock was over, the lucky guy showed real class and character by deciding to take his girlfriend even though he was rooting for the Broncos and she was rooting for the Seahawks! No use that 6th sense always on the money!
The tickets were overnighted along with some Kars4Kids swag:
The view from Section 148 / Row 21 was awesome:
