[QUOTE=Von\_Erich] I sat front row behind the AFC bench. It was an amazing experience. The players where only a few yards away. The best part: hearing the players and coaches joke with each other on the sidelines. The worst part: sunburn on the left side of my face. [/QUOTE] I’m so jealous!!! I have always thought the Pro Bowl would be more fun than the SuperBowl because you have great players from nearly every team there. Maybe someday… ---

After creating this thread, my wife told me about a co-worker of hers who goes every year. She has a time-share in Hawaii, so the family spends a February week in the sun. They go to the game, get a ton of autographs, and generally soak in the party atmosphere. As much as I mock the game, that actually sounds like an excellent vacation. ---

[QUOTE=What Exit?] I can think of so many better things to do in Hawaii then watch a meaningless football game. I would love to get back to Hawaii. [/QUOTE] It was a good excuse for us to go to Oahu and enjoy the food and shopping. My father-in-law bought the tickets to take my 15 year old brother-in-law to the game. He ended up hurting his knee that morning, so brother-in-law and I went instead. That was a nice surprise for me Sunday morning. ---

It appears you live there. I would think for anyone living there it would be a great event. I meant for as a tourist, I would not want to do it. Hawaii is too beautiful and I spent to short of a time there my only chance. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/woohoo-its-pro-bowl-day/437059.md?page=1)
