Super Bowl 49 from A to Z

Media Day
My friend and I went to the inaugural (inaugural in that it was the first open to the public) Super Bowl Media Day when the game was held in New Orleans in 2013. Truthfully, it was a strange experience. On the one hand, it was a neat experience to be able to see fairly closely people like Dan Marino and the other members of CBS’ NFL broadcast team (at the time) as well as the players.
But the reality is that it is a melee of people and it’s loud, which was likely amplified by the fact that we were inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. If you purchase a ticket, they hand you what amounts to a gift bag when you walk in, which includes a tuner radio which you can change channels to listen a streamed feed of each player/coach being interviewed.
According to the NFL Super Bowl event page, tickets for the event are $28.50 per person. The event starts at 10:30 AM local time on Tuesday, and the interviews are also shown on NFL Network.
It will be interesting to see what approach Marshawn Lynch takes towards Media Day.
