The scene before the Pats took the trophy

Stephen Knudde of Providence worked the gate at Gillette Stadium today. He emailed this photo, taken after the Patriots beat the San Diego Chargers, 21-12, and before the presentation of the AFC Championship trophy. His comments:

There was an unexpected mighty wind at times that froze my legs, but my extremities were pretty much taken care of (your toes get the worst of it at the gate). Worked the ADA gate tonite til close to 16:30, watched 3 ejections and 8 arrests. No tasering.

Official dress is white from the waist up and (they demand) black from the waist down. I wore black Nikes seeing it was San Diego, even though my white sweatshirt hidden underneath said "everybody panic"...

4:22. You get relieved from duty and go under the stand the warm stands to eat, and you get redeployed as an usher.
.
I was an undeployed usher by the time I finished dinner, so in my yellow (they call them green) jacket I buzzed around.

No panic this week, but not pretty.

Balmy Arizona weather for the Super Bowl should make for a better game.

Thanks for the "behind the scenes" take on this one, Steve. Dare I say, It's great to know that someone other than Tom Brady gets a little attention! lol! (
