Super Bowl or Work/Play With Trains

I’d like to be doing both, but my basement TV crapped out. Not pleased.

Chris, you got time. Run down to Target and get another TV. Don

I will divide my attention between the game and my iPad.  

Wife and I were in Best Buy yesterday, the TV's on display were tempting but I did not succumb.  

Super Bowl for me.  I need to dismantle my layout, downsize it and move it to a spare bedroom.  A task  that I'm not eager to complete.

Train room for me.  I could care less about the Super Bowl.

Don, how about scuba diving in Hawaii and kitbashing while watching the Super Bowl? I would love to see a video of that.

Is there a football field in Hawaii? The Super Bowl should be there some day.

Arnold

The Train Shed for me.

Bowles are for cereal anyway.....(-;

A little SB with friends and family.

Arnold, High School football on Maui is huge. Their school is on a hillside over looking the water. You can watch a game and the whales. Someone donated a ton of money two years ago and they now have lights for night football. How does this look for a stadium? Don

My first thought when I saw the above photos was Field of Dreams football. Arnold

Not being a huge football fan, it would be trains.  I used to make an effort to just watch the SB each year , but I stopped after 2016 (not being a big fan anyway, this was not a huge thing to give up).

That Hawaii stadium, while extremely  impressive for a HS field, looks like it would be just a bit cramped for hosting the SB. . 

It looks like it might rival the small stadium they had built in the "bowl" between 2 hills (held about 4,000) at the university I attended when I first started my college career quite a few years back(more years than I'd like to admit ).  They have since entered the realm of Division 1 and along that path constructed something between (looks like somewhere between 25,000 and 29,000 depending on some reconfiguration they did over the years) that and a true pro level stadium when they hosted another large athletic event along the way.

Dave, you could put the extra people in the canefields in the background. Don

Ditto!

Worked on cleaning layout this afternoon and just sat down to watch a little bit of the game.

What game? 

I used to be a fan.....

Nope...Super Bowl...go Tom Brady and the Pats!

I was born and raised in KC, so the Chiefs are MY team, but I'm sitting out. I've not been an NFL fan for a long time. In fact, I haven't watched the Chiefs all-season long since the Montanna/DeBurg years. However, I do keep tabs on the Chiefs as the season progresses via the internet.  This year's Championship game is the first full game I've watched since the Montanna/DeBurg years.

I was very proud of the way the Chief's adjusted in the second half and made a fantastic game out of it, but in the end, the experience of the Pat's won out.

I'm not protesting or anything like that, just don't have enough interest in the game to give it 5 hours of my life, I'd rather do other things.

Andre

Saints were robbed!, but seriously i keep up with the score via internet

No Super Bowl for me as I am boycotting NFL. reading a bit about trains tonight and resting up after washing 3 cars with my son.

For those of you who chose trains, you are the real winners. Both the game and the commercials have been underwhelming at best.

I have not watched any of it, My daughter said it was a very close game, she said the quarterbacks forgot which pointed end of the ball to throw to the receivers.

Ahhh, you're a nostalgic kind of guy!

As always, I look forward to see the results. You have a real eye for the hobby.

I need to make some type of area for a city type setting on my RR. I think it ties our interest of toy trains, with our memories. That makes a powerful combination.

Kind of what like the classic hits of music does?

Game just plain sucks. Thank goodness the food and beverage are good!

Not a football fan or watcher at all. Was working on the layout 1st quarter. At the local diner for dinner 2nd/3rd quarters (with game on diner TV of course). Now home again with TV on but may go downstairs and complete my New Haven Tower project.

I'm done with the NFL and Hollyweird. Got better things to do.

Will watch it if the Eagles are in it though.

You're kidding, right?  D Ford doesn't line up offsides, and Patrick Mahomes is NFL MVP and Super Bowl MVP.  

I don't know how to tell you this, but the Super Bowl has been cancelled this year. The Eagles got eliminated, and that was the end of it all.

And...as I thought it would...the topic has gone into a discussion totally unrelated to the purpose of this forum.
