Has Anyone Ever Gone to The Pro Bowl? I'm Going!

I'm going in Feb 2008! Anyone else ever go to one of these games?

I've never been to the Pro Bowl, but I have been to Hawaii, and I would recommend seeing less football and more Hawaii while you are there.

 

I should mention that I'm not a football fan at all--and I'm a big fan of visiting Hawaii, though I've only been there once.

 

Enjoy the trip! It's a long flight, but when you get off, YOU'RE IN HAWAII, BABY!!!

The best part of going to the Pro Bowl is going to Hawaii. The game itself is a lame fest to be frank. But Hawaii is totally awesome. Yeah I said "Totally awesome". I figure in a reference to Hawaii it's alright.

 

Honestly, I'd sell my tickets to the game and spend the money on something else in Hawaii. I don't know why I don't live there. When I get rich I'm moving there. Just forget the world and live in Hawaii and die on a beach.

I'm going to agree with HH here--don't focus on the Pro Bowl. My wife and I went a couple of years ago and we made that mistake. I feel like we wasted a good chunk of our vacation because we planned everything around the Pro Bowl and the festivities.

 

Sure, it's a nice experience. However, just take it as one of the many things to do and see in Hawaii.

Thanks for the advice guys. I have actually been to Hawaii once before in '99, yes, I will agree w/you Jmh5 the flight is the killer.

Jschris- Were you able to get tickets at the game or did you buy them before? Also, the skills challenge and all those pre-game festivities how do you get tickets. pm if you want. thanks
