NFL to set up football theme park at Cobo Center
DETROIT -- Even if you don't have tickets, you can still get in on the Super Bowl hoopla.
The NFL unveiled plans Tuesday for the NFL Experience, an interactive football theme park that will set up at Cobo Center from Feb. 1-5. The Super Bowl is being played Feb. 5 at nearby Ford Field.
Students from Detroit schools, Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and current and former Detroit Lions players were at Ford Field to announce the plans, which include a battery of football skills tests and other games.
Among the attractions at the convention center will be games with players running routes and catching passes and quarterbacks throwing at moving hoops with defenders in the way.
"We think its important to get everybody together in the NFL spirit," Roger Penske, chairman of the Super Bowl XL Host Committee, told reporters.
Tickets go on sale Wednesday and are $15 for adults and $10 for children 12 and under. They can be purchased at the Ford Field ticket office, by calling (866) 849-4635, or by going online to the Super Bowl Web site.
