Chris: “I am a marketing geek at heart so honestly, unless the Bears are playing, I care more about the ads than the game, and I love seeing how companies use the Super Bowl to break through. One of my favorite ads of all time is the Apple 1984 Macintosh ad.
Natalie: “I’m a fan of boneless wings and chili cheese dip, they are a must for my Super Bowl party.”
Ryan: “I like to eat shrimp during the Super Bowl. And I think that Peyton Manning will reign havoc on Brees and the Saints. Go Colts!”
Karin: “I love to make a Velveeta cheese and salsa dip, with ‘Hint of Lime’ chips. While I enjoy watching the game, the commercials are what draw me in. Coming from an artistic background, I like to see what companies have come up with to market themselves.”
Brett: "Two words: 'Sausage' and 'Cheese'. I also enjoy yelling at the television, but that isn't necessarily limited to the Super Bowl. Or football, for that matter."
Dawn Noel Fitzer Brown: "Our Superbowl tradition is to watch it with a great group of neighbors and friends. This year it will be at our house. The game will be close to most of our hearts so the bantering should be great. Gumbo, lasagne, potato salad, assorted dips and chips, cupcakes, brownies and King Cake will be the menu for the night. Oh, did I forget the beverages? I think there will be a little beer and wine consumed :) GEAUX SAINTS!!!!"
Rhonda Hampton Schienle: "Celebrate my Husbands Birthday and watch the COLTS win! :-)"
Kate Ross: "We're having a COLTS superbowl party. We'll be serving some foods that are native to Indiana like pork tenderloin sliders & popcorn. We're also having wings, asst chips & dips, Colts cookies, mini chocolate football & blue & white M & M's & blue drinks for kids. We'll all be wearing our Colts jersey's & we have COLTS plates, napkins & lots of Colts & blue white decorations! GO COLTS!!!!"
Jessica Ritter: "♫ ♪"Down in New Orleans where the Saints call home, it takes a cool Breez to rock the dome. On LaSalle and Poydras Street, they jack teams up to a mambo beat. The Super Bowl, mambo, mambo, mambo...Super Bowl, mambo, mambo, mambo...Super Bowl, mambo-ooh........Down in New Orleans!" ♫ ♪ WHO DAT!! GEAUX SAINTS GEAUX!!!♫ ♪"
Myra Schafer: "SUPER BEAD SUNDAY is from 12:30 to 4:00 at La Beada Loca On Indiana Street. Then beading during the game."
Susan Hoffman: "It's usually "Soup-er Bowl" at our house. :> Many kinds of soup for this cold time of year."
Sharon McNiel: "I'm working....woe is me...go Colts"
Carolyn Polewski Powell: "Our tradition is spending time with friends and/or family and eating lots of awesome food. This year, we are going over to a friend's house. It is going to be a lot of fun! I am going to make black bean roll-ups to take to the party. Yummy!"
Mike Daras: "My tradition is taking the next day off work to recover from the day's festivities."
Colleen Zana: "Laissez Le Bon Temps Roule! - New Orleans Saints All The Way back to Bourbon Street As Winners!!!!"
