Super Bowl Week 2014 Events
The Super Bowl teams rolled in yesterday - both the Broncos and the Seahawks staying in nearby downtown Jersey City. And the Big Game will be played just a few miles away at the Meadowlands - it is still left to be determined if New Jersey will benefit from traffic and attention. Regardless, there's plenty to participate in as a resident even without a ticket to the most sought after game.
