SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. \u2014 Super Bowl week is underway, and the Super Bowl Experience is now open. <\/p>\n
The exhibition is taking place at the San Francisco Moscone Center and gives fans the opportunity to participate in football-themed activities and test their athletic skills ahead of the championship game. <\/p>\n
The event features interactive drills, including a 40-yard dash and field goal kicking.<\/p>\n
The event is designed to give attendees the experience of being a professional football player while providing a venue for fans to see the competition. <\/p>\n
The experience also serves as a gathering point for rival fan bases to interact before the game begins at Levi\u2019s Stadium.<\/p>\n
Super Bowl Fans can see the 59 Super Bowl rings, helmets, and the Vince Lombardi Trophy.<\/p>\n
Adrian Matthews, a Bay Area resident and longtime New England Patriots fan, attended the event to celebrate the championship being held at home. <\/p>\n
Despite living in California and having no direct ties to the New England region, Matthews has supported the team since the era of quarterback Drew Bledsoe.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that they\u2019re going to play the Super Bowl just 30 minutes from where I live,\u201d Matthews said. \u201cI had to come and see this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Matthews is passing his interest in the team to his 10-year-old granddaughter, Madison Matthews. <\/p>\n
He noted that she has been a Patriots fan since she was born. <\/p>\n
Madison attended the fan experience with her grandfather to participate in the activities.<\/p>\n
\u201cGo Patriots and don\u2019t stop being Patriots fans,\u201d Madison said. \u201cBecause they\u2019re the coolest.\u201d<\/p>\n
