Chapter 1967 Rejection

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Falcons defensive team made two sacks. In a helpless situation, the Patriots had no choice but to choose a 3-point shot. With little game time left, they trailed the Falcons 12-28. .

You must know that in the 12 games he participated in after returning, Brady was sacked only 15 times in total, but before the game was over, Brady had been sacked 5 times by the Falcons defense.

However, just when people were surprised that the Patriots were all over, with 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the core of the Falcons, Matt Ryan, made a fatal drop! The referee made a penalty immediately, but at this critical opportunity located in the opponent's hinterland, Brady was sacked again by the opponent's defensive team.

After the medical timeout, the Patriots made a comeback. Matt Ryan's previous drop of the ball gave the Patriots a chance. Amendola succeeded in the touchdown. The Patriots also succeeded in choosing a 2-point conversion. The Patriots once again narrowed the gap with the Falcons 20-28. score difference.

Stalemate became the main theme in the second half of the fourth quarter, but with 57 seconds left in the game, the situation on the field suddenly changed. The Patriots, who were passively trailing throughout the game, relied on Edelman's almost incredible catch, and the running back Blount rushed for a touchdown, and then the Patriots scored a 2-point conversion, magically evening the score to 28-28. In the last 13 minutes of the game, the Patriots scored 25 points!

At this time, the entire audience is holding their breath, anticipating the birth of a miracle. If there is a decisive reversal in the last few dozen seconds, this year's Super Bowl will definitely become a classic. Of course, even if there is no reversal, in terms of excitement, it will be worth the ticket price. .

Including Yang Cheng and his friends, they all stood outside the chairman's box, nervously staring at the situation on the field.

There were only 18 seconds left in the game, and since the Falcons had no chance to time out, they had to throw the ball.

After the game restarted, Matt Ryan was intercepted, but fortunately he was already off the field. The Patriots chose to receive the ball safely and almost gave up the comeback attempt with 3 seconds left in the game. The game was dragged into overtime. This is also the first overtime in the Super Bowl's 51 years!

On the sidelines before overtime, the Patriots chose to take the lead and the Falcons chose the direction of attack.

After a near-foul interception by the Falcons, the game was ruled a 2-yard offense, and the Patriots scored a touchdown, a huge comeback!

This is the fifth time in the history of the Patriots that they have won the Super Bowl, and it is also the fifth time that Brady has won the Super Bowl with the team. At the same time, Matt Ryan has also continued the difficulty of winning the regular season MVP. An embarrassing record for a Super Bowl champion.

The audience burst into thunderous applause, congratulating the two teams for their wonderful game.

There are no losers tonight, all winners.

Tom Brady is very popular, and almost all the celebrities present are his friends, so when everyone saw their friend win the championship again, they all sent their most sincere blessings.

What followed was the award ceremony. Roger Goodell went down to give a speech and personally presented the championship trophy. This year's Super Bowl ended successfully.

The game is over, but Vanity Fair will not let the heat fade. Roger Goodell personally held a thank-you dinner at the hotel, including the stars of the two teams who performed well tonight.

On the way to the meeting, Yang Cheng and Roger Goodell took a car together, and they took advantage of this gap to have a good chat.

"Jason, I know you want the Panthers' home stadium to be the venue for the new Super Bowl in order to gain popularity, but to be honest, this matter is not easy to handle.

As the most watched sports event in North America, the Super Bowl is undoubtedly under the spotlight of tens of thousands. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the Super Bowl, the NFL's requirements for the host city's hardware and software facilities have reached an almost demanding level. Those who can become a host city have passed strict review, so it is difficult for me to find the problem and cancel them. the right to host. "Roger Goodell finally stopped talking and said straightforwardly.

Yang Cheng asked calmly, "Can you tell me the specific requirements of the venue first?"

“First of all, all ticket revenue from the Super Bowl must be fully owned by the NFL, including ticket revenue from all luxury private rooms. According to regulations, the stadium has at least 70,000 spectator seats.

During Super Bowl weekend, if the historical average temperature in the game city does not reach 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius), the NFL requires that the game venue must install a removable roof to prevent severe weather from affecting the game.

If the game area does not meet the minimum temperature requirements and the stadium is completely open-air, the game turf must be installed with a geothermal system approved by NFL technology. The NFL will not bear any costs for the installation of the geothermal system. "

Speaking of this, Roger Goodell paused obviously, as if he wanted Yang Cheng to retreat, but Yang Cheng said, "This is not a problem. It's not like you don't know the climate in Los Angeles. As for the box office revenue, it's Rules, I have no objection.”

Roger Goodell sighed and continued, "During the bidding process, the bidding city must ensure that the number of hotel rooms within one hour's drive of the stadium reaches 35% of the number of spectators at the stadium. That is to say, if the host city can have up to With a capacity of approximately 70,000 spectators, at least 25,000 hotel rooms must be within an hour's drive of the stadium.

In terms of transportation, the NFL requires at least 750 buses, 500 limousines, 1,000 taxis, and 10,000 rental vehicles to be used during the Super Bowl.

On the day of the game, at least 35,000 parking spaces will be available to meet the parking needs of the event.

The NFL will not be responsible for any post-game cleanup costs unless the NFL intends to sell portions of the facility or turf as official certified products.

In addition, the NFL also requires free use of three top local golf courses and two bowling tracks for social activities organized by the NFL, which must be included in the contract. "

After Yang Cheng thought for a moment, he nodded, "This is not a problem~"

All bidders actually have the same idea as him, which is why in the face of such stringent hosting requirements, the competition for hosting the Super Bowl is still fierce, because the huge economic benefits behind it are the best attraction.

Yang Cheng seemed to have found a rebuttal point, "Can northern cities meet the NFL's high requirements for weather conditions for the Super Bowl?"

Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew he was alluding to Minneapolis.

Roger Goodell is an old fox, how could he not hear it? Smiling slightly, "A total of four northern cities have hosted seven Super Bowls in history, one of which was in Minneapolis. If nothing else, next year will be the second time."

After a pause, he added, "Although the climate in the Los Angeles area is not a problem, it is also a fact that the stadium is aging~"

Yang Cheng said directly, "Our new stadium is already under construction and is expected to be completed and put into use in October this year. This is a super modern stadium with a total investment of more than 1 billion US dollars. It not only has a movable roof, but also has a 24-hour constant temperature system. , which can ensure that the stadium has the best air temperature and humidity during the game.

Additionally, the pitch has removable natural turf, which is only moved onto the pitch during rugby and football matches.

Normally, this piece of turf is basically left outside the football field for easy maintenance. We firmly believe that rugby games need to be played on pure natural turf. However, even the natural light of an open-air stadium cannot guarantee the growth of the turf. But moving to Bathing in the California sunshine outside is not a problem. In order to ensure that continuous games will damage the turf, we have also prepared two identical spare turfs, which can be replaced within 24 hours if necessary.

Other soft and hard conditions are also top-notch, so you don’t have to worry about this. "

Roger Goodell suddenly asked, "Does the stadium have a title sponsor?"

Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, "Not yet, but it should be named by Yuanshan Bank, right?"

Roger Goodell also heard about Yuanshan Capital's new bank and nodded suddenly, "Have you started promoting it?"

"Yes, Yuanshan Bank has been targeting high-end private customers before, but now, it is preparing to appropriately lower the savings standards to attract more middle class people to deposit in the bank. Los Angeles is a core city in the west, and it should be a good choice to promote it here. And the NFL has great influence, ‘Toyama Bank Stadium’, this name is not bad, right?”

"Ha~ It's not bad. It sounds very impressive. I believe this is the most beautiful stadium in the hearts of NFL fans."

Yang Cheng nodded confidently, "Of course, I will."

Goodell changed the subject, "But such a good stadium should not be hastily presented to the world. How about waiting another two years? How about competing for the right to host the Super Bowl in 2021?"

Yang Cheng frowned and said nothing, and Goodell sighed, "It's not that I won't help you, it's really impossible to change the venue on the spot.

You have to know what Minneapolis paid for this Super Bowl. "

Yang Cheng still didn't speak, thinking about the impact of hosting it in 2021 on herself.

Goodell said to himself, "I personally went to Minneapolis to inspect, and the entire city, including Bank of America Stadium, is ready for the Super Bowl. Compared with when it hosted the NFL Finals in 1992, The appearance of this city has changed significantly, and I cannot let down the wishes of the people in the north."

Yang Cheng still didn't speak. Hearing Goodell say, "I still remember that 25 years ago, the 26th Super Bowl was held at the Hubert Humphrey Dome Stadium, near the stadium, which is now the East District. , the parking lot and driveway area reached 25%.

In addition to Vikings and Twins games, the venue also hosts concerts, off-season skating events and various community events. These events are the real highlights. Some say the dome and surrounding area are underserved. Take full advantage, this statement is not sufficient.

But now, there have been tremendous changes.

The eastern urban area has developed rapidly and has become a busy living and working area, as well as a good place for leisure and entertainment.

According to the Minneapolis government's plan, the total financial investment and private investment centered on Bank of America Stadium will reach 2 billion US dollars by 2025, mainly involving housing, multi-functional commercial projects, public transportation construction and greening construction.

U.S. Bank Stadium is the centerpiece of that, and this Super Bowl is the starting point for that renaissance. "
