The Green Bay Packers have beaten the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25 to win Super Bowl XLV in Dallas! Packers are Super Bowl XLV champs! Best of all, I was there in attendance for a business trip as well as got to attend the NFL experience.
I was at the NFL Experience for Pepsi Max at the Dallas Convention Center bringing to life the commercial of the Pepsi Max challenge.

The guy from the commercial showed up for a while and participated in some of the events and took some pictures. It was a pretty cool experience. But the job I had was not always the most fun. One of the events was pushing a Pepsi Max vending machine 5 yards as fast as possible. My job was to push it back for the next participants.
Other events included catching a pass, throwing a football to three cutout receivers, and the dolly driver leap.
The event was fun for fans to get a chance at a free Super Bowl XLV towel along with sampling Pepsi Max.

I also enjoyed the event because I got to interact with Packer fans on a daily basis. The Packers are my favorite football team and since the made it to the Super Bowl, it made it extra special to be so deeply involved with the experience.
My time there was not all work though. On Super Bowl Sunday, I was at the Cowboys new stadium handing out Pepsi Max samples to attendees at the Super Bowl. I got to see many stars and celebrities walk in including P Diddy which was cool. For the game I actually watched it from where I was staying with some friends who came up from Houston. A pretty exciting time being around friends from Wisconsin who are all Packer fans!
I was in Dallas for a total of 8 days. From Phoenix to Dallas is a 15 hour drive not exactly fun…especially being greeted by Dallas with freezing rain, snow and frigid temperatures. Overall this was a fun and exciting experience that got me outside my comfort zone in a new city where I knew practically no one. I’m looking forward to future experiences like this!
