Welcome to Colleen’s Corner.

Photography is my passion.

Did you get a chance to watch the Super Bowl on TV this past Sunday? Or you went to see it in person.
Wow, the Super Bowl has hit its 60-year mark, simply amazing.
We stayed at home to watch it, just Tim and me. While the game was on, we played cards and of course had homemade Chill for our dinner.
The final score was the Seattle Seahawks winning 29-13 against the New England Patriots. This is only the second time the Seahawks have won the Super Bowl, the first time was 12 years ago. Congratulations to them.
The price of tickets to attend the game and watch it live was far beyond what I could afford.
For 2 people the tickets started at $3,306 for, there are reports that the highest tickets sold between $40,000 and up to $60,000 USD Yikes! Good thing I have a TV.
The half time show was interesting, although I do not speak or understand Spanish it was still fun to watch, unless of course you are the “Orange Man” tweeting about it in a rage as usual. Your blood pressure must roar through the roof.
I liked the commercials; with 30-second ad slots costing from $7 million to over $10 million USD, advertisers had to deliver quality. Ticket prices and advertising fees for the game could both double in next years.
We are not that great of football fans, we watch the Grey Cup and the Super Bowl, but that is about it, so even if the prices come down to watch these games in person we will stay home or go to a local bar to watch them.
What ever you choose to do, have fun watching the games.
