Super Bowl XLIX in Phoenix, Arizona!
Whether rain or shine and rainy it was leading up to one of the BIGGEST events of 2015, the show must go on. Super Bowl XLIX was in Phoenix this year along with approximately 100,000 football fans from across the country for the showdown between the New England Patriots and reigning champions the Seattle Seahawks. We were so thrilled to be a part of some of the most exclusive parties in town!
The NFL Together We Make Football Party at the Heard Museum in Phoenix
Fans from all over the country came together to share with the NFL what role football plays in their lives and after several rounds of online voting, there were two stories that won the hearts of the NFL and America. The NFL treated the winners and their families to a week they will never forget, including an exciting journey to a Red Carpet Movie Premier of “Together We Make Football” at The Heard Museum. Guests enjoyed several divine food stations, including a Gourmet Mac & Cheese Bar and delicious hand passed hors d’oeuvres like Petite Crab Cakes and Wild Mushroom & Parmesan Chive Arancini throughout the evening.

Direct TV hosted the official Super Bowl Super Fan Festival, a three-day pregame bash for Super Bowl XLIX featuring Zac Brown Band, Calvin Harris, Imagine Dragons and Snoop Dogg. The HGTV Lodge (it really was a lodge) is where our talented staff managed five food stations which included delightful choices like Truffle Parmesan Popcorn, Mini Spicy Rubens and delectable desserts such as Mini Cherry & White Chocolate Bread Pudding Muffins. We also hosted Direct TV’s top-level executives from across the country in two additional VIP Tents which were complete with an amazing Flaming Doughnut Station, a unique culinary treat!
