YEAH SOMEONE SAID THAT HE
ACTUALLY LEFT THE GAME.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT.
AND HE'S A HUGE BOSTON GUY.
MINNESOTA IS ON THE CLOCK.
363 DAYS UNTIL MINNESOTA HOSTS
THE BIG GAME.
A LOT HAS TO HAPPEN AND ANGELA,
THE HOST COMMITTEE IS WASTING
NO TIME GETTING TO WORK.
NOW IT IS OFFICIAL.
THE BALL IS IN OUR HANDS.
THE SUPER BOWL HOST COMMITTEE
IS WORKING ON GETTING MINNESOTA
READY FOR THE 1 MILLION
VISITORS EXPECTED TO BE HERE
NEXT FEBRUARY.
TODAY I TALKED TO SOME OF THE
ORGANIZERS WHO SPENT THE PAST
WEEK IN HOUSTON WATCHING HOW
IT'S DONE.
HE'S IN!
PATRIOTS WIN THE SUPER BOWL!
.
THERE'S NO WAY TO PREDICT
WHO WILL BE CELEBRATING A SUPER
BOWL VICTORY IN 2018 BUT
THERE'S PLENTY THAT CAN BE DONE
TO MAKE SURE FANS HAVE A GOOD
TIME VISITING MINNESOTA.
IT'S REALLY A TEN DAY
FESTIVAL.
IT'S EVERYTHING FOOTBALL,
EVERYTHING CELEBRATING THE
DESTINATION AND CELEBRATING
MINNESOTA AS THE NORTH.
KRISTIN JUST RETURNED FROM
HOUSTON WHERE SHE OBSERVED THE
CHALLENGES OF HANDLING A HUGE
CROWD.
THEY HAD AN UBER LOT WHERE
YOU ACTUALLY HAD TO GO INSTEAD
OF BEING PICKED UP ANYWHERE
BECAUSE A LOT OF THE STREETS
GET CLOSED AS THEY WILL HERE.
AND SHE SAW HOW MUCH HELP
VOLUNTEERS PROVIDED.
THERE WERE 10,000 VOLUNTEERS
HELPING TO GET YOU TO PLACES
YOU WANTED TO GO.
THEY ALSO HAD A LOT OF POLICE
IN FORCE AND EVERYTHING SEEMED
VERY SMOOTH.
MINNESOTA SUPER BOWL HOST
COMMITTEE MET WITH THE
COMMISSIONER MONDAY MORNING AND
SHARED A VIDEO WHICH KICKS OFF
HAND OFF WEEK.
THE COMMITTEE ANNOUNCED HOW
COMMUNITIES ACROSS MINNESOTA
WILL BENEFIT FROM THE BIG GAME.
MOST IMPORTANTLY WE START
OUR 52 WEEKS OF GIVING ON
WEDNESDAY AND WITH THE HELP OF
THE NFL AND ALL OF OUR PARTNERS
IN THE COMMUNITY WE WILL GIVE
OUT 52 GRANTS TO PLACES IN
MINNESOTA THAT NEED HELP.
30 COUNT DOWN BILLBOARD
CLOCKS ARE MAKING IT EVEN.
TO THE PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA
WE LOOK FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 4.
THIS IS GOING TO BE A TERRIFIC
EVENT AND WE ARE VERY EXCITED
ABOUT IT.
WE ARE ALL VERY EXCITED.
NOW I'M TOLD THOSE COMMUNITY
GRANTS THAT WILL BE AWARDED
EVERY WEEK OVER THE NEXT YEAR
WILL FOCUS ON THE HEALTH AND
WELLNESS OF CHILDREN AND
FAMILIES.
