OK, the good news is I will be a the Super Bowl.. The bad news is the Green Bay Packers were sent home for not showing up for work against the Giants. I don't care who wins now. In fact, I am rooting for a tie as I really don't want either team to get another SB win. LOL
The Indy SB committee and NFL are taking over everything near the stadium, including a 130 year old bean factory and the post office. They are both moving for 2 weeks. The 50 story banner on the marriot near the stadium looks impressive with the Lombardi trophy the only visual on it.
A friend of mine volunteered to be on the stage crew for the Madonna half time show. He will see her twice in rehearsals and then teh big show. COOL huh? His job is to basically plug in the stage peice that his team pushes out to the center. He has to be on the field at the 35 yard line with 2 minutes left in the half.
My job and another friend are working "guest services". That means anything from checking tickets, giving directions, checking badges into various venues or events including the 10,000 person NFL vip "tailgate" party, and ushering. We are hoping for field pass checkers so we will be on the field. The assignments aren't made until you check in on game day. Sound familiar? LOL Pay is minimal and will cover gas and meals.
Last night was our orientation with the stadium tour and training. I sat there making mental notes about how we also try to do many of the same things as far as training our actors and volunteers. Learned a few things to help our event and made notes so that is a bonus!!
Game day, we get there at 10 am for several hours of general and area specific training and more oreintation including emergency evacuation rules and awareness. Then hit our positions and rotations til 11pm. Maybe see a few celebs and the GAME!!
Look for me! I will be the guy in kahki pants and royal blue uniform shirt. Only a few hundred of us!!
