Remembering the Superbowl in Times Square ( Personal Video)

Well, the last Superbowl came and was a big popular hit in NYC, with the weather cooperating ( little did we know how bad the rest of the Winter would be)

NYC did quite a number in Times Square to celebrate the game

One source said at the time:

"New Jersey is bearing the brunt of the Super Bowl storm, but New Yorkers are by no means off the hook. The Times Union of Albany reported on Sunday that taxpayers in the Empire State are underwriting the costs for Super Bowl celebrations in Times Square, as well as numerous promotional undertakings throughout the city and region. Those include the $2.5 million Times Square event, $1 million for a vehicle to drive around and promote the big game and $500,000 for a press event at Manhattan’s Chelsea Piers. In all, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo secured $5 million in the state budget for the New York/New Jersey Super Bowl XLVIII Host Committee."

Apparently, nobody knows how much money having the Superbowl added to the local economy, but some estimates were as high as $500 million.

Just a small video I shot on Saturday before the game to show the hoopla in Times Square...

On the whole, it was a lot of fun, except of course for Peyton Manning...
