Game Day

For many people, Super Bowl Sunday is almost as fun and exciting as Christmas morning. But for me, while I enjoy a good Super Bowl party just as much as the next person, I’ll be truthful: it’s really just a social event for me. I’m more interested in chit-chatting and mingling than I am in whose got the ball at the whatever yard line.

So, I may not have strong feelings over who wins or loses on Sunday, but if I had to pick (and just for Ren Bartoe) I’d say “Go Steelers!”

And then another reason I have to pick the Steelers is because I was lucky enough to meet Rocky Bleier two years ago at a GANA meeting. I even had the opportunity to wear all four of his Super Bowl rings at once. It’s one of those experiences that I always tell people about, because how often do most of us get the chance to wear even one Super Bowl ring?

But back to Sunday's game ... I know for some people out there this year’s Super Bowl will certainly be one to remember. That’s the case, I’m sure, for Tampa-based Rue Decatur Glassworks. This company has the license to produce a commemorative display—and it’s being made from glass.

The company is creating a sandblasted glass display in honor of the game. You can read more about it here.

This is just another example of how decorative glass is popping up everywhere—even at the Super Bowl. I wonder if this means we’ll start seeing these glass displays showing up for all the major sporting events. What a great decorative glass opportunity that could be.
