Our reporters went downtown to capture the Super Bowl Village. This is what people had to say.

Going downtown was cool; there were a lot of entertainment and
activities going on. I went to the mall and the inside was decorated
for the super bowl and they had some fun things to do. I saw someone
on the street making a giant sculpture of a football.

I haven’t gone downtown yet, but I plan on going to the NFL
experience and trying the zip line if the wait isn’t horrible. A lot
of celebrities are arriving now and I’m excited about that.
— James Vandervloedt (junior)

I haven’t been downtown, but I’m going to the LMFAO convert. I’m
excited for it and it’s free which is always nice. The parking will
probably cost money but it’s worth it.
— Haili Fritz (sophomore)

I went with my friend the other day; we mostly walked around. It was
fun be we had to pay twenty dollars for parking and walk a little
more than a mile to get to everything.
