Super Bowl<\/em>\u00a0LII is still half a year away, but who says we can’t start getting pumped; not just for the game, commercials and halftime show, but for the week of festivities leading up! Super Bowl Central, the name of the NFL’s headquarters in the host city, features\u00a0parties, events and live music all week long.\u00a0When the SB came to New York for instance, the NFL completely took over time square. That is the beauty of SB Central- its activities are informed by the unique flavor of its host. Every year is both awe-inspiring and utterly unique.\u00a02018 will be hosted in Minneapolis, MS with the theme “Bold North” and is shaping up to be one for the book!<\/p>\n
