GLENDALE, Ariz. -- As one Patriots fan clad in a Tom Brady jersey said Friday inside the NFL Experience, "It's a bit like Disneyland for sports fans."

Indeed, the league's interactive football theme park, set up in the shadow of the University of Phoenix Stadium, site of Sunday's Super Bowl XLII, is a place for fans to immerse themselves in gridiron goodness.

The main attractions are the carnival-like games set up to test your football skills. You can kick field goals, test your passing accuracy, or run a combine-like obstacle course. And these games aren't just limited to kids as adults seem downright giddy to jump into the fray as well.

Who needs Space Mountain and Mickey ears? The NFL Experience has the "Run to Daylight" challenge and everybody seems to be wearing their favorite player's jersey.

You can read more about the attractions and events at the NFL Experience on the league's website.
