Super Bowl Weekend

VH1 and the NFL joined forces to celebrate Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans with a special concert featuring performances by Train.

Hosts: Carrie Keagan and Michael Strahan

 

Aquarium of the Americas wrapped with giant football players.

The numerals stand 25 feet tall and 6 feet deep, and are bolted to 7-foot-tall bases perched on a barge floating in the Mississippi River.

Happy Birthday Mom!!

Galette des Rois (French King cake)

SuperBowl Volunteer Shift #1: Downtown Ambassador

(right outside Harrah's casino on Poydras)

Since Verizon was an NFL sponsor, most volunteers received iPads for assitance during shifts

Journey and Rascal Flatts got on stage together for CMT's Crossroads

Unlike VH1's concert the night before where we got right in, we had to wait over two hours in line to see CMT's concert.

Game Day
