Chapter 2162: 2162 Dome Stadium
January on the east coast of the United States was still raging with cold winds, and New York and Philadelphia were hit by blizzards again. The ice and snow stretched from Houston in the north to the south. Fortunately, the cold snap finally weakened when it reached Tennessee. When I came to Atlanta, I could finally feel the warmth of the south.
This is an ordinary Sunday, the bright sunshine spreads in the bitter air, it seems that everyone should hide at home and continue to hibernate, praying that this winter will pass quickly. But Atlanta ushered in the most frenzied and turbulent crowd since the Olympic Games held four years ago.
Almost from eight o'clock in the morning, along the next. All the way to the east of the city, all the main traffic arteries leading to Vine are blocked. The long car formation is like a mythical dragon, winding and mighty for more than ten miles. It seems to never end, running through the entire city of Atlanta.
Walk along this long line of cars towards the east, and at the end you can see the world-famous Georgia Dome. Before the Millennium Dome in London was completed last year, the Georgia Dome had been It is the largest indoor stadium in the world. Since it was put into use in 1992, it has held countless top games, and it is very familiar to Americans. It was not only one of the main venues for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, but also the home of the NFL's Atlanta Falcons.
At this moment, more than 100,000 vehicles are winding their way towards the Georgia Dome. The reason is very simple. The thirty-fourth Super Bowl is about to kick off here. The annual carnival feast has attracted the attention and attention of the whole United States. fanaticism.
Adam Lancaster was sitting in the driver's seat, tapping the steering wheel with his fingers, feeling a little impatient. He originally thought that traffic would no longer be a problem if he arrived at the scene twelve hours in advance, but now it seems that almost everyone Everyone had the same idea as him, looking at the endless traffic formation in front of them, they felt a little irritable.
The old Jack Taylor, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at his old friend and laughed, "Now do you regret it? Hugo's special car can save us from all these troubles."
Adam snorted angrily, "They're coming, so they're going to block here."
Old Jack shrugged and pointed to the sky, "Maybe they will use a helicopter to arrive at the scene?" Adam couldn't refute the sentence, he could only sit in the driver's seat sullenly, and then slammed He patted the steering wheel, "Damn it, can't the front just move?"
It is definitely not an easy task to buy tickets for the Super Bowl. The Georgia Stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 people, was sold out in less than two hours after it went on sale. Can't buy it. Fortunately, there are still VIP boxes in the stadium. After Glory to Death was invited to be the guest of the halftime show, Paul Talib very readily gave them a box. So, Adam and the Taylor family received an invitation to fulfill their dream of going to the Super Bowl live.
"Grandpa Adam, may I ask if Uncle Hugo will come tonight?" Teresa, who was sitting on Michelle's lap, stood up directly, and said tenderly.
"Stupid, Uncle Hugo doesn't play football, how could he show up? This is the Super Bowl. Did you know? The Super Bowl!" Jack III's excited voice echoed in the car, and the appearance of the little man was really impressive. Can't help laughing.
"Little guy, then you are wrong, tonight your Uncle Hugo will appear on the intermission performance stage." Old Jack turned his head and said triumphantly, as if showing off his son Generally, "You know what? It's that grand show!"
"I know, I know," Teresa raised her tender little hand, "It's like being on the Oscar stage last year." After speaking, Teresa was still not sure, showing a hesitant and shy expression, It made everyone laugh out loud.
Jack III seemed a little unwilling to be robbed of his attention, and shook his father's arm vigorously, "Look, look, is that a picture of Uncle Hugo?"
Following Jack III's finger, Little Jack turned his head, and then saw a double-decker bus with posters of the band members of Glory to Death hanging on the outside of the car, and all the seats on the upper and lower decks of the bus were already filled. Everyone was beating the beat neatly and vigorously, and the surging and boiling sound came along with the biting wind.
Little Jack immediately showed a surprised expression, "Hey, look, those are young volcanoes."
Old Jack and Adam both turned their heads, and then saw a whole line of double-decker buses. At a glance, there were at least ten of them, and they went in a row. Each bus had a sticker of glory on the outside. The huge poster to death looks like a tour team. At this time, the characteristic rhythm sound echoed with the sound of singing freely, which made the onlookers excited.
Old Jack immediately laughed heartily, "Look, look! Who is that!" Suddenly the whole carriage became extremely lively, the two little guys became excited, and even Adam's irritable mood became lighter.
"Papa, papapa!" The sound of uniform applause caused slight ripples in the air, and the car formation that seemed congested and irritable at first began to glow with vitality.
On the right side of Adam's car, two young men climbed out of the car window, waved their T-shirts, and shouted loudly, "Glory to death, glory to death", and then they also held up their Both hands began to strike in response to the rhythm of the applause, joining the carnival. And apparently, they're not the only ones.
Old Jack also started to follow the beat rhythm with a smile on his face. Even the two little guys played together. The continuous car formation seemed no longer scary at this time. There are more than ten hours, but the prelude to the carnival feast has already begun.
When Adam and his party arrived at the Georgia Dome, it was already two hours later. Looking at the densely packed parking lot that looked like a beetle, it took them another 30 minutes to find a parking space, and finally settled down.
After getting out of the car, Adam looked around, and then he saw the turbulent crowd in all directions. Although the Georgia Dome can only accommodate 80,000 people, which is one size smaller than the Rose Bowl, the number of people who came to the scene today is definitely more than 80,000—Adam seriously doubts that at least 100,000 people gathered There are people everywhere around the venue and within sight. It is unimaginable. It is not yet noon, and all the open spaces around the venue are already full of people. It seems that the entire Atlanta residents flock to it. The spectacular scene cannot be imagined at all. Describe in words.
"You said, isn't the scene in Maracana more exaggerated?" Old Jack's voice came.
Adam didn't even think about it, and responded directly, "Absolutely!" Maracana gathered 700,000 people at the scene that night, which may never be able to break through a number. Maracana, now equivalent to Woodstock in the 1990s, has begun to have loyal rock fans making pilgrimages to it.
Tonight is the Super Bowl, and most of the sights are fans of the St. Louis Rams and Tennessee Titans. Even neutral fans will choose a side to support and really participate in this carnival. But beyond Adam's expectation, in the middle of a square, there was a billboard erected to honor the Bauhinia Crown until death, surrounded by at least a thousand people, each with indescribable joy on their faces, that The look of excitement is so similar, it's like... as if the party has already started.
"What song did you say Glory to Death will perform today?" "'Young Volcanoes (Young. Volcanoes)'? Or a new song?"
"God, is glory to death coming tonight? Is it coming?"
"The Titans must win! The Titans must win!" "But I think Hugo will support the Rams, because he is a Kurt Warner fan!" "So what, do you want to pray for glory during the halftime show?" Can death give Warner endless energy? Hehe."
Surrounded by discussions from all directions, the joyful and excited atmosphere made the air slowly start to boil, which made Adam uncontrollably excited. This was the first time he watched the Super Bowl live, especially for him. It was the first time I watched Hugo's performance live...Thinking of this, Adam couldn't tell where the tension in his heart came from, but his palms began to get slightly moist, and he put his hands in his pockets in a bit of embarrassment, hiding My own inexplicable anxiety.
"Hey, Adam, look, there are even more people here today because of Hugo..." Old Jack said cheerfully, but before he could finish his words, Adam interrupted him roughly, "As long as you talk too much , It’s not that I can’t see. Let’s hurry up and find a place to have lunch.” Then Adam left straight away, and Old Jack stood there for a while, then showed a bright smile.
As time progressed, the heat in the air began to rise steadily, and more and more people came to the Georgia Dome. The hot air began to thicken, making the entire venue look like a huge The air mass, the dense and high-temperature air drilled into the body along the pores, and the blood began to boil without knowing it, and the suffocating tension and excitement rushed to the face.
According to the official statistics of the Georgia Dome after the game, more than 120,000 people arrived at the scene. In addition to the 80,000 spectators who had tickets, there were more than 40,000 people gathered around the scene. This group of spectators not only Not only enthusiastic fans, but also enthusiastic young volcanoes, all of them gathered together and watched the live broadcast of the XXXIV Super Bowl through the big screen in the outfield.
The opening time is getting closer and closer, and the air begins to condense further. It seems that the carbon dioxide exhaled by everyone is so hot and boiling, making the oxygen factor become scorching hot, the lungs start to heat up, the blood starts to heat up, and the brain starts to heat up... When the Super Bowl kicked off, all this energy exploded into a blowout!
