2162.Chapter 2162 2162 Dome Stadium
January on the east coast of the United States was still raging with cold winds, and the New York and Philadelphia areas were hit by heavy snowfall, and the ice and snow continued along Houston in the north to the south, but fortunately, the cold snap finally weakened when it reached Tennessee. When you come to Atlanta, you can finally feel the warmth of the South.
It's a normal Sunday, the sun is shining in the cold air, and it seems that everyone should hide at home and continue to hibernate and pray that this winter will soon pass. But Atlanta has seen its most frenetic crowd since the Olympics were held four years ago.
Almost from eight o'clock in the morning, along the down. Further east, all the major thoroughfares to Vine are clogged, and the long lines of cars that seem to be like mythical dragons meander through Atlanta for a dozen miles and seemingly never-ending.
Follow the long line of cars to the east, and at the end of the road you can see the world-famous Georgia Dome. Dome), in London's Millennium Dome (Millennium. Until it opened last year, the Georgia Dome was the world's largest indoor court, hosting numerous top-notch tournaments since it opened in 1992, and it's all too familiar to Americans. Not only was it one of the main venues for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, but it was also home to the NFL's Atlanta Falcons.
At this moment, more than 100,000 vehicles are winding towards the Georgia Dome, and the reason is simple, Super Bowl 34 is about to kick off here, and the annual carnival feast has captured the attention and frenzy of the whole country.
Adam Lancaster sat in the driver's seat, tapping his fingers lightly on the steering wheel, a little impatient, originally thought that he had come to the scene twelve hours in advance, and the traffic would no longer be a problem, but now it seems that almost everyone has the same idea as him, looking at the endless car array in front of him, and the mood is a burst of irritation.
Old Jack Taylor, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at his old friend and laughed, "Now you regret it, right?" Hugo's car allows us to avoid all these troubles. ”
Adam snorted angrily, "They're coming, and they're going to be stuck here too." ”
Old Jack shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the sky, "Maybe they'll use a helicopter to arrive at the scene?" Adam couldn't refute the words, so he could only sit in the driver's seat sullenly, and then slapped the steering wheel hard, "Hell, can't you move ahead?" ”
Tickets to the Super Bowl are no easy task, and the 80,000-capacity Georgia Stadium was sold out in less than two hours after it went on sale, and even scalpers couldn't buy tickets. Luckily, there are VIP boxes at the stadium, and after being invited to be a guest on the halftime show, Paul Talib was very happy to give them a box. So, Adam and Taylor's family received an invitation to fulfill their dream of going to the Super Bowl live.
"Grandpa Adam, will Uncle Hugo come tonight?" Teresa, who was sitting on Michelle's lap, stood up directly and said in a tender voice.
"Stupid, Uncle Hugo doesn't play rugby, how can he show up? This is the Super Bowl. Do you know? Super Bowl! Jack III's excited voice continued to echo in the carriage, and the appearance of the little adult was really unbearable.
"Little one, you're wrong, your Uncle Hugo will be on the stage at halftime tonight." Old Jack turned his head and said triumphantly, as if he were showing off his son, "You know what? It's the big show! ”
"I know, I know," Teresa said, holding up her little white hand, "as if she were on the Oscars stage last year." After saying that, Teresa was still unsure, and showed a hesitant and shy look, which made everyone laugh.
Jack III seemed to be a little unwilling to be snatched away from his attention, and shook his father's arm vigorously, "Look, look, is that a picture of Uncle Hugo?" ”
Following Jack III's fingers, little Jack turned his head, and then saw a double-decker bus, with posters of the members of the Glory to Death hanging on the outside of the entire carriage, and all the seats in the upper and lower double-deckers of the car were already full, everyone was beating the beat neatly and powerfully, and the raging and boiling sound came along the cold wind.
Little Jack immediately showed a look of surprise, "Hey, look, those are young volcanoes. ”
Old Jack and Adam both turned their heads, and then they saw a whole line of double-decker buses, at least ten or more of them, and they were all over the body, and each bus had huge posters of glory to death, which looked like a touring party. At this time, the distinctive beat sound should be accompanied by the sound of cheerful singing, so that the onlookers can't help but get excited.
Old Jack immediately burst out laughing, "Look, look! Who's that! Suddenly the whole carriage became extremely lively, and the two little ones were excited, and even Adam's irritable mood could not help but become light.
"Pap, papa!" The sound of uniform clapping caused gentle ripples in the air, and the traffic array, which had been congested and irritable, began to rejuvenate at this time.
Just to the right of Adam's car, two young men climbed out of the window, waving their T-shirts, and shouted, "Glory to death, glory to death," and then they also raised their hands in the air, and began to beat to the rhythm of the applause, joining the revelry. And apparently, they are not the only ones.
Old Jack also began to follow the rhythm of the beating with a smile on his face, and even the two little ones played together, and the endless car formation seemed to be less terrifying at this time, and there were still more than a dozen hours before the opening of the Super Bowl, but the carnival feast had already begun to play.
By the time Adam and his party arrived at the Georgia Dome, it was already two hours later, and it took them another thirty minutes to find a parking spot after looking at the dense parking lot like a beetle, and finally settled down.
Stepping out of the car, Adam looked around, and then saw the crowd of people surging in all directions. Although the Georgia Dome can only hold 80,000 people, which is one size smaller than the Rose Bowl, the crowd that came to the scene today is definitely more than 80,000 - Adam seriously suspects that at least 100,000 people have gathered around the venue, and there are people everywhere in sight, it is unimaginable that it is not yet noon, and all the open spaces around the stadium are already crowded with people, as if the residents of the whole of Atlanta have flocked to it, and the spectacular scene cannot be described in words.
"Isn't the Maracanã scene more exaggerated, you say?" Old Jack's voice came.
Adam didn't even think about it, and responded directly, "Absolutely! "Maracanã gathered 700,000 people that night, a number that may never be broken. The Maracana, now the equivalent of Woodstock in the 90s, has begun to see loyal rock fans make the pilgrimage.
It's the Super Bowl tonight, and most of the fans in sight are the St. Louis Rams and Tennessee Titans, and even the neutral fans will choose a side to support and really fit into the carnival. But to Adam's surprise, in the middle of a square, a billboard was erected with a Bauhinia Crown of Glory to Death, surrounded by at least a thousand people, each with indescribable joy on their faces, and their expressions of excitement were so similar that they were like ...... It's as if the party has already started.
"What do you say you will perform today in Glory to Death?" "'Young. Volcanoes)’? Or maybe it's a new song? ”
"God, is glory to death coming tonight? Is it coming? ”
"The Titans will win! Titans will win! "But I think Hugo will support the Rams because he's a Kurt Warner fan!" "So what, do you want to pray that glory to death at halftime will give Warner endless energy? Hehe. ”
Surrounded by chattering from all directions, the cheerful and excited atmosphere made the air slowly begin to boil, which made Adam feel a little excited in his heart, this was the first time he watched the Super Bowl live, and it was the first time he watched Hugo perform live...... Thinking of this, Adam couldn't tell where the tension in his heart came from, but his palms began to moisten slightly, and he put his hands in his pockets a little embarrassed, hiding his inexplicable anxiety.
"Hey, Adam, you see, there are more people who are here today for Hugo......" Old Jack said happily, but before he could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Adam, "As far as you talk a lot, I can't see it." Let's hurry up and find a place to have lunch. Then Adam went straight away, and Old Jack stood there for a moment, then smiled brightly.
As time progressed, the heat in the air began to rise, and more and more people came to the Georgia Dome, and the hot air began to thicken, making the entire arena around it like a huge air mass, dense and hot air drilled into the body along the pores, and before you knew it, the blood began to boil, and the suffocating tension and excitement came to the face.
According to the official statistics of the Georgia Dome after the game, more than 120,000 people arrived at the venue, and in addition to the 80,000 spectators with tickets, more than 40,000 people also gathered around the stadium, this crowd was not only enthusiastic fans, but also fanatical young volcanoes, all of whom gathered together to watch the live broadcast of Super Bowl XXX on the large screen in the outfield.
As we got closer to the opening time, the air began to condense further, and it seemed that the carbon dioxide exhaled by everyone was so hot and boiling that the oxygen factor became hot and hot, and the lungs began to heat up, the blood began to heat up, and the brain began to heat up...... When the Super Bowl kicked off, all that energy exploded into a blowout!
