Superbowl 2012

Football for us in France is a sacred game that everyone follows and loves, but in US football is also as popular maybe even more…but this same term designs a different sport overseas.

 
This Sunday, February 5^th 2012, the most important game of the year, the Super Bowl was held - the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL). It is the highest level of professional American football in the United States, culminating a season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year.

 

And how could we, at The American Business School Paris, not follow this main event? We had to be there, somewhere.
So we took over the Hard Rock Café for a night and reserved the VIP room for all of ABS students who wanted to join! Because of the time difference, the game was from midnight to 5 am…hard for some of us who had class in the morning as you can guess, but it was worth it.

 
More than 50 of us where there to support the clash between the underdog New York Giants and the New England Patriot that was held in Indianapolis. The game was incredibly tight between the two, with the Pats leading the game, but in the end the game ended by the victory of the Giants by 21 to 17.



We all sang along when Madonna made her show during the commercial breaks.

If you wanna get back in time and sing along too, go ahead!

After this moment shared the Hard Rock Café gave us the Football Trophy being the ones putting the most ambiance in the restaurant.

The goodies and the Football Trophy

Thank you all for this great moment, and we hope that next year you’ll be more to join us. Also special thanks to Brittany for her help and enthusiasm.
