Save Money with These Low Cost Activities During NFL Week in Tampa
Jan 28, 2009
Tickets to the actual game are astronomically priced. But even without tickets to the big game, it's possible to still enjoy some great activities planned around the Super Bowl in Tampa that cost $20 or less.
Here's a quick rundown of the best:
NFL Experience
Of all the events during Super Bowl XLIII, the NFL Experience is the one not to miss for football fans of all ages. This pro-football interactive festival offers sports fans the chance to immerse themselves in the world of the NFL.
Experience kids football clinics, free autograph sessions, participatory football-themed games, displays and the largest football card show. There are also daily NFL Coach chats, which give an inside look at the game.
The event takes place adjacent to Raymond James Stadium, where the Super Bowl is taking place and runs through January 31.
Tickets are $18.50 for adults and $12.50 for children under 12. Order by phone at 866.TIX.4NFL (866.849.4635) or at any Ticketmaster outlet. As a bonus, proceeds from the ticket sales will be donated by the NFL to two NFL Youth Education Towns of Tampa Bay, which serve at-risk youth.
NFL Experience After Dark
This evening party for adults only features appearances by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cheerleaders, a DJ, a marching band and an EA Sports "Madden NFL 09" mini tournament with a pair of Super Bowl XLIII tickets going to the winner.
The event takes place January 29, from 9pm until midnight at the NFL Experience and tickets are only $10 each. Purchase by calling 866.849.4635 or via Ticketmaster.

Have a NFL star call a friend or family member for free!
This event takes place Saturday, January 31st, at the Sprint Phone-A-Friend Stage inside the NFL Experience from noon until 6pm. A ticket to the NFL Experience (see above) is required to take part in this, so factor in that admission fee when attending this event.
