Not everyone will get to go to the Super Bowl, but plenty of football fans were able to enjoy the Super Bowl Experience at the Minneapolis Convention Center.
A sort of traveling museum for the NFL, the weeklong event let fans of all ages meet current and former NFL stars, take photos with the Vince Lombardi Trophy and Super Bowl rings and take part in clinics and interactive exhibits, including the Play 60 Zone for kids.
There also was an opportunity to learn how footballs are made and to test one's skills at the game.
