Pro Bowl tickets are a great way to keep the NFL season rolling for just a few more weeks, or a great way to cap off that Hawaiian vacation you've always wanted to take. That's why every year thousands of NFL fans follow the action to Aloha Stadium and enjoy their only chance to see the stars of the AFC and NFC face off. Two dream teams going head to head in one of the most beautiful stadiums in the world. What more can an NFL fan ask for than a couple of Pro Bowl tickets?
The NFL Pro Bowl has been played under its existing system since the merger of the NFL and the AFL. Teams are composed of the top players in every position from each conference and coached by the losing squad of the conference playoffs. Held two weeks after the Super Bowl, and always including several players with Super Bowl credentials, the Pro Bowl has become more than an exhibition, as the rivalry between conferences gets fiercer every year.
The greatest thing about the Pro Bowl is the chance to see top NFL stars on the field together. Where else will you se Peyton Manning tossing passes to Chad Johnson? Or handing the ball off to LaDainian Tomlinson? In 2006 Seattle QB Matt Hasselbeck shared time under center with Michael Vick and Carolina's Jake Delhomme. Defensively, stars like Julius Peppers, Michael Strahan, Ronde Barber, and Jeremiah Trotter roamed the field together.
It was those defensive stars that sparked an NFC win over the AFC. The star studded NFC defense forced six turnovers. Tampa Bay linebacker Derrick Brooks, who's punched his Pro Bowl ticket nine times was selected Pro Bowl MVP after returning an interception 59 yards for a touchdown. The NFC broke a five game losing streak and tied the series up at 18-18.
Pro Bowl tickets are the icing on the cake after the NFL season. It's hard to give up those Sunday afternoons in the fall. The best way to do it is to spend a warm Sunday afternoon in Aloha Stadium with your favorite NFL players. Hawaii, Aloha Stadium, and Pro Bowl tickets, quite a combination.
