The Details on Tomorrow's Ticker Tape Parade for the NY Giants' Super Bowl Victory
In between all the commercials and snacking there was a pretty good football game last night, and when the final whistle was blown it was the New York Giants on top. They’re the Super Bowl champs—for the second time in four years—and now New York is ready to welcome their team home for a little bit of a party and parade. Mayor Bloomberg is putting the final touches on this and that, but we do know that the celebration is taking place on Tuesday.
Late last night New York City officials released the plans for the ticker tape parade, so if you’re going to call out sick tomorrow, start planting some subtle cues this afternoon at the office. All the fun will take place in Lower Manhattan, as the parade is scheduled to do its thing beginning at Battery Place and Washington Street around 11am. After that Eli Manning, Victor Cruz, and Jason Pierre-Paul will continue north up through the Canyon of Heroes towards Worth Street as they greet throngs of well wishers.

If You Still Need Super Bowl Tickets, There's Always Costco
You may have heard that this year’s Super Bowl is taking place on Sunday in Indianapolis, and if you’re thinking about attending in person it might just be possible. Costco—what don’t they sell—is coming through with some last minute tickets, so if you’ve got a whole lot of spare change it might be time to cash it in.
The Giants, Patriots, and you will all be in Indy this weekend, but that’s assuming you have around $3,000 extra to spend on this year’s big game. Costco had some bigger and fancier packages available last week, but since you procrastinated there’s only one option left. The $3,000 price tag will get you one Upper-level End Zone Ticket to Super Bowl XLVI, and they’ll even throw in admission to a pre-game party. The only bummer is that for once they're not selling them in bulk, so you might need to make some friends with the people next to you before kickoff.

Airfare to Super Bowl XLVI is Already Soaring Out of Control
After a busy Sunday we now know that there’s going to be a Super Bowl rematch between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants. Fans from the Northeast—and the rest of the country—are already submitting vacation request paperwork as they roll into the office. We took a quick look at the flight situation, and here are some ideas on how to get to Indianapolis for this year’s big game on February 5.
You’ve only got two weeks to finalize your travel plans, but figuring things out sooner rather than later is the best plan. If you’re looking to fly from Boston for the weekend, expect to pay around $1100 for a nonstop option on Delta that gets you in on Friday and sends you home—hopefully with a championship t-shirt—on Monday. Staying a little longer and making a connection can save some serious coin, as leaving on Thursday and coming home on Tuesday will set you back around $500 instead. Flights from other parts of New England like Hartford and Providence are just as pricey—with must-do connections—so the smaller airports won’t save you any cash.

Celebrate with Aaron Rodgers Today at Disney's Magic Kingdom
Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers won't have much downtime today. He's already on his way to Orlando for the ticker-tape parade down Main Street U.S.A at Disney's Magic Kingdom, which he'll squeeze in before heading to New York City for Late Night with David Letterman tonight.
After helping the Green Bay Packers win Super Bowl XLV&3151;in a 31-25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers&3151;in Dallas last night, Aaron stepped in front of the TV cameras and shouted the words every athlete dreams of: “I’m going to Disney World!”

How and Where to Celebrate The Packers' Return Home to Green Bay
Now that the Super Bowl is over the real party begins, but unfortunately it’s only open to fans of the Green Bay Packers—sorry Steeler fans. The folks in Green Bay are a little more low key when it comes to celebrating—or just better behaved—so we haven’t heard of any flipped over cars or fires in the streets, but there is quite the celebration planned for later today.
The Green Bay Police Department must have known something that we didn’t, as they had the Packers parade route prepared before the weekend even began. The NFL champions will return to Austin Straubel airport later today, and the team will make their way to Lambeau Field to a very warm welcome home.

Can't Get Into a Super Bowl Party? Just Check Out the NFL Experience
If you don’t have Super Bowl tickets at this point you might as well accept that you’ll be watching the game on TV. However, if you made it to the Dallas area—or just live there—there’s still plenty of other stuff to do before heading to Hooters to watch this year’s big game.
Every year the Super Bowl becomes a bigger and bigger entertainment event, and this year is no exception. The NFL brings way more than just the Packers and Steelers into town, and for 2011 the NFL Experience makes its return for its 19th edition of bringing fans and football together adjacent to all the Super Bowl hoopla.

How to Follow the Pittsburgh Steelers Off to Super Bowl XLV
Yesterday we revealed all the secrets to hanging out with the Green Bay Packers before this year’s Super Bowl, and today we want to talk about the Pittsburgh Steelers. After disappointing Jets fans across the country, the team is looking forward to heading to the Dallas-Fort Worth area and their attempt to win the NFL’s biggest game for a record seventh time.
One of the best ways to follow the Steelers down to Texas this year might be with Delta, as the airline has added some Super Bowl-specific, non-stop flights between the Steel City and Dallas. Delta is starting up three flights during the first weekend of February. There will be two flights during the morning of February 4—one is a regional jet and the other a 757—and there will be another plane heading into Pittsburgh.

How and Where to See the Green Bay Packers Off to Super Bowl XLV
In case you weren’t glued to the television and snacks yesterday, the Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears and will be representing the NFC in this year’s Super Bowl down in Arlington, Texas. Packers fans are known for the dedication to the team—as well as their hats made of cheese—so we know they’re already planning a way to get to this year’s big game on February 6.
The players and coaches returned to the Green Bay area last night to a crowd of thousands at Austin Straubel Airport, and you might just want to get ready to welcome them home as champions if things go their way. The airport’s Facebook page is pretty good about sending out information as well as updates on the team’s wins, so you might be able to be on hand to give the team a warm send off to Texas in case you can’t make it down for the game. Teams need to be in North Texas the afternoon of January 31, so start looking for a good short-term parking spot now.

Jetsetter Can Help You Get To This Year's Super Bowl
The NFL playoff picture has now been figured out, and it’s only about one month until the Super Bowl hits Dallas—well, Arlington—on February 6. Expect the biggest Super Bowl to date, simply because the new Cowboys Stadium is so freaking huge and extravagant. Even if your team failed to make it too far this season, if you’ve always wanted to attend the big game this year might be the best year to do so.
Tickets have been long sold out along with many of the local accommodations, but there’s always plenty of travel packages where you can still score swanky lodging and seats at the 50-yard line. Jetsetter’s football package definitely caught our eye, and it will probably catch yours as well as long as you a wallet deep enough to pay for it.

Super Bowl Celebrations Lead To Flight Delays And Aggravated Passengers
We tried to warn you about the traffic jam in New Orleans due to the Super Bowl victory parade, but apparently some didn’t listen to our advice. It seems like there were a couple people not looking to party, and they just wanted to get to work for their scheduled shift. After all, it’s pretty important for pilots to punch in on-time.
Last Tuesday a United Airlines flight was supposed to get out of The Big Easy at around 7pm; however, the pilots weren’t able to make it to the airport due to celebration shenanigans that took up much of the city’s streets. The pilots finally got to the airport like two hours later, but that’s when things got even stranger.

How To Get Tickets To Next Year's Super Bowl XLV
Somehow the Super Bowl is already over, but that just means it’s time to start thinking about next season. Every team has an equal shot to win it all—even the Detroit Lions—but actually getting to the big game is pretty tricky. The NFL really doesn’t sell Super Bowl tickets to the general public, so you have to play a little bit of a game to score some seats.
Now through June 1, the NFL is running a lottery for the opportunity to purchase tickets to Super Bowl XLV at Cowboys Stadium on February 6, 2011. Unfortunately it’s not as simple as just heading to their website or following them on Twitter—you actually have to go to the post office. To enter the random drawing, just send a certified or registered letter to the address after the jump.
