SuperBowl Village

This year I had the opportunity to attend SuperBowl village with Randy. He did ice sculptures every single day to specific themes in the Everyday in SuperBowl Village carried a different theme.  Here's a couple pictures of some of those days and some other "non ice" related stuff...  

This day's theme was "superhero day"- Derek and Randy decided to use the insignias from the armed forces to create this ice display.

SuperFan day was great, Randy and Derek used roman candles to light up the display. 

This was the first day I arrived. This sculpture had pretty much melted but it was really cool. A lot of cancer survivors had their pictures taken with it and they were really touched by it. 

The streets of Indianapolis were crowded every night of SuperBowl village. There was many free concerts and activities for everyone to enjoy. 

 This sculpture was part of the scavenger hunt. Contestants had to take pictures of various things around the park and one of the things they had to take a picture of was the ice sculptures. Inside the sculpture on the right there was a football that was the prize for the winner of the scavenger hunt. 

The people of Indianapolis go crazy when they see a Colts logo. Randy and Derek made many of them and they were a big hit. 

 There was more than just ice at SuperBowl Village. There were giant signs and banners everywhere, they dressed up Indianapolis by covering the buildings. This particular one had all the football helmets in both leagues, with the Lions at the very end.

This was the fan dome. It was so cool. Upon entering there was revolving doors, because opening two doors at once would cause the dome to collapse. The dome was a giant circular tent, with a lot of Xbox 360 Kinect games inside. In order to get in they had to count the number of people, it was free, so we had to get there a little early and stand in line. 

 We took a tour of the Pacer Stadium, this is where a lot of the concerts happen in Indy. The tour was nice and we got to see where the Village HeadQuarters was located. Carrie was our guide, she works for the Pacers Marketing and she gave us an awesome tour of the entire operation. After the tour we went to Joe's Crab Shack and Derek wore this awesome bib.

 These giant LCD screens hung all over the city so that everyone could see the concerts that were playing on the stages. During the day and night the streets were filled with Music.

This was part of our tour. The people working at the headquarters had the most spectacular view of the city and I was way to overwhelmed to take a lot of pictures.... 

This was part of the parking ramp. It made me laugh. It was the only spot available and no one else wanted to park underneath of it, for fear the pipe would burst. 

The last thing I want to share about SuperBowl Village was when Randy got to teach the Governor of Indiana's wife how to carve. It was pretty cool to see the first lady of Indiana use a blow torch. She was terrified.
