Three and a half hours before kickoff, the stadium is already buzzing with workers and media. Just to make sure you don't go unentertained, though, the big screens are already showing past Super Bowl highlights and interviews. I went to find my seat -- I'm in an "auxiliary box" which means I'm at one of the temporary rows of tables in the corner of the upper deck -- and they were showing the Giants-Bills Super Bowl from -- hey, don't make me look it up -- like 1990 or something. I got there just in time to see Bills kicker Scott Norwood miss his 47-yard field goal to end the game, a 20-19 New York victory.
It reminds you how ridiculously indelible some Super Bowl moments become. That was Norwood's moment in history, forever.
And it could happen to someone else today. The game isn't just made for heroes.
