Superbowl Village

So we were told that we just had to go to Superbowl Village in downtown Indianapolis, so we decided to go. I definitely did not want to drive downtown and get stuck in traffic for an hour, so we decided to take public transportation to avoid the wait and stress.

Well, we were stuck in this: http://www.indystar.com/article/20120204/NEWS11/120204011/13-hurt-in-Friday-s-Super-Bowl-2012-Village-crowd-of-200-000-police-announce-more-street-closings?odyssey=tab%7Cmostpopular%7Ctext%7CFRONTPAGE

Overcrowding was the name of the game on Friday night. We were not able to see anything b/c we were just pushing our way through crowds. It took us forever to get to Georgia street and then we were turned away b/c that area was closed off. We held onto each other's coats to avoid getting separated. The only thing we saw were the 30 foot Super Bowl Roman Numerals that had TV screens on it. No, that's not true, we also saw some crazies :) At least we went with a couple of friends--it was fun to hang out with them.




THANKFULLY, we had decided not to take Blake (that would've been stupid). He was playing happily at our neighbors house. I don't know what they do to him there, but when he gets back, he is just exhausted. He did go to bed slightly later than normal, but he slept in til 9:15 this morning, which was AWESOME b/c I was really tired since we got home so late. Why did we stay out so late if we couldn't see anything? Glad you asked. It was because my time saving idea of taking the bus backfired b/c the buses were running about 45 minutes late going home, but at least they came!

No kidding! I heard some people lifted the strollers above their heads to try and get through the crowds. Ok, so it was crowded, but only in the areas where there was stuff to see; so you had to voluntarily put yourself in that situation, which they should not have done with a child!
