club009.jpgWe’re down to four NFL teams, which means we’re just six days away from a 16-13 Pittsburgh win and a 24-17 Philadelphia win, setting up a battle for Pennsylvania in the Super Bowl. And once that magic day of excess arrives, you will want to be sure you are partying at the Club 009 Super Bowl Party. What would that entail? Well, if you are in Tampa and have $450 falling out of your pockets, you can gain access to this pre-party from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. on gameday:

Hidden three blocks from Raymond James Stadium is a secret location where elite sports fans will gather prior to the Super Bowl Game. This is CLUB 009, a James Bond inspired club where some of the NFL’s most celebrated athletes are invited. A partial list of invited guests and guests of previous years are Jerry Rice, Jim Brown, Joe Montana, Ronnie Lott, Roger Craig, Tim Brown, Warren Moon, Shannon Sharpe, Marcus Allen, Bob Sanders, Mario Williams, Steve Smith, Laurence Maroney, Santonio Holmes, Vernon Davis, Jeff Saturday and DeSean Jackson.

PARTY FEATURES

Live Entertainment with Miggs Band
Chalk Talks with NFL Players
Pre-Game Broadcast
High-End Club in a Private Airplane Hangar
Innovative Food Stations & Premium Open Bar
Concierge Desk

Yes, and your “chalk talk” host is Jesse Palmer! You know, whose marginal NFL skills and chiseled good looks led him to reality television! And Jerry Rice (creepy picture may/may not be included) will be your party host. And notice you will also have access to the pre-game broadcast. Can’t get that everywhere! We will admit to being intrigued by the airplane hangar, food and drink. But we can’t say what we would do with a concierge desk at a party. Seems you’ve already answered your biggest question (where’s the party?) by the time you are there. Then again, we’re just happy when we see a crock pot full of meatballs when we show up at someone’s house (which would possibly give us something in common with Jeff Saturday). Does that diminish or enhance our candidacy as an “elite sports fan?”

Think about this party, mere plebians, as you think of new and innovative ways to stretch your grocery budget this month.
