$550 Million in Local Spending Expected from Super Bowl

Estimated 400,000 people expected in region; team practices to be held in Florham Park and Media Day in Newark

The 2014 Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium is expected to have a $550 million economic impact on New Jersey and New York, with an estimated 400,000 people in the region, according to a report on dailyrecord.com. Businesses should start preparing for the flood of visitors now, according to speakers at The Big Game Huddle, an informational and networking event held Wednesday at Raritan Valley Country Club. “Start the celebration now,” said Wayne Hasenbalg, president and chief executive officer of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority. “You don’t have to wait until the week before the game," he told the dailyrecord.com. That impact will be felt in North and Central Jersey, as one of the competing teams will practice at the Atlantic …

How Will You Celebrate the Super Bowl?

Where to watch, what to eat and how to make the most of Game Day.

Can you believe Super Bowl XLVII is only a few days away? The San Francisco 49ers will take on the Baltimore Ravens Sunday, with coverage beginning at 6:30 p.m. If the Ravens win, it will be their first Super Bowl victory since 2000. But don't count on their chances: The 49ers have gone without a Super Bowl win for 18 years, but they are the only team in the NFL to appear in more than one Super Bowl and never lose. So now the only question is, where will you go to watch the big game? Maybe you have your plans set in stone already, or maybe you want to try something new this year. Either way, we have some ideas for you to make the most of Super Bowl 2013--and with Super Bowl 2014 set to take place in the Meadowlands, it's not too late to …

Giants Parade: New York or New Jersey?

The debate continues.

It's an argument that's been boiling over since 1976–or, at least since the Giants started winning Super Bowls. Where to hold the victory parade? The Canyon of Heroes, as is the traditional place a New York-based sporting team takes its victory lap (the G-Men are set to walk down at 11 a.m. Tuesday), or in New Jersey, where the newly-crowned Super Bowl champion team has actually been located for 36 years? It's hotly-debated, so much so Gov. Chris Christie has been calling them the "New Jersey" Giants. What do you think? Should it be exclusively in New Jersey? New York? Or, can football fans from both sides of the border agree that the Giants are both states' teams? Chime in below.

I went to the parade, hopped on the train, then back to Giants Stadium (yes, I will not call it the name of the insurance company!) There is no place in NJ that can compare to having a ticker tape parade in NYC....where would we do it on North Beverwyck Rd? Get real.   more ›

Tips for a big bash, and suggestions for local hot spots.

Choice four: go to a Super Bowl party. Bring a bottle of wine to the hostess. And root for the home team, if you know what I mean.   more ›

Trophy Another New Jersey 'Super' Export

Just like the Giants, the Vince Lombardi Trophy is a product of the Garden State.

When you're watching the Super Bowl on Sunday night, the team that calls the Meadowlands home won't be the only New Jersey export on display. What is it? Here's a hint: It takes numerous skilled craftspeople and about four months to complete, and millions of people will have their eyes glued to it on Sunday. And it's made nearby—right here in New Jersey in Parsippany. The Vince Lombardi Trophy that will be passed around by either the New York (we know it's really New Jersey) Giants or New England Patriots after winning the game's most important contest was produced in Morris County, crafted in the Tiffany & Co. workshop. So, while you feel Jersey pride watching Big Blue's tough defense and Eli Manning-led offense, you will know that they …

Hey Michael...I guess you aren't a Giants fan. First, what's wrong with the being named the Giants? Is the Jets nickname any better? How about the Eagles? All I care about is what happens on the field. For your info, the Giants have won three Super Bowls, the Jets one and the Eagles zippo. Second, as Greg pointed you got the venue of the game wrong. I don't think Big Blue is lame...Go Giants!!!   more ›

They All Want a Piece of Morris County at Super Bowl

Vince Lombardi Trophy, the desire of every Steeler and Packer, is created nearby.

It takes numerous skilled craftspeople and about four months to complete, and millions of people will have their eyes glued to it on Sunday. And it's made nearby—right here in New Jersey. The Vince Lombardi Trophy that will be passed around by either the Pittsburgh Steelers or Green Bay after winning the Super Bowl on Sunday was produced in Morris County, crafted in the Tiffany & Co. workshop in Parsippany. Most people know the trophy was named after legendary Packers head coach Vince Lombardi, regarded by many as the greatest football coach of all time. However, the trophy didn't get that name until 1970, three years after it was created and handed out. The trophy was originally designed by Tiffany for the first Super Bowl in 1967, and …

Former Super Bowl Champ Now Plays for His Religion

Alan Veingrad explains transformation from an NFL player to devoting his life to Judaism.

For seven years, Alan Veingrad made his living by pushing around some of the most physically intimidating defensive lineman in the National Football League. At age 47, Veingrad, who now goes by his Jewish name Shlomo, meaning "God’s Peace," no longer studies the tendencies of his opponents across the line of scrimmage each week, but rather, he studies the religion of Judaism with the same intensity and vigor that made him a Super Bowl champion. Veingrad explained his transformation to an audience of about 70 people at the Knoll Country Club East in Parsippany last Sunday. Rather than donning a helmet and shoulder pads while playing in front of 75,000 people, Veingrad now sports a long gray beard and yarmulke, working as a transformational …

Gearing up to hosting a Super Bowl bash this year? The big game is this Sunday. Here are a few clever, money saving tips to help you get (and keep) the celebration going, Each will help you score big with your family and friends! 1. Serve traditional Super Bowl food and make it a team effort. Assign guests a dish to bring and share the work and expense.  Over the years, I have hosted my fair share of Super Bowl parties, and the one thing that remains constant is the food. The Super Bowl calls for "guy food." You know, the kind you can eat with your hands so you can watch the television. All kidding aside, without some chili, nachos or a foot long sandwich, it just doesn't feel like the Super Bowl. Keep your china in the closet and put out …
