Super Bowl info

Posted by Chris Forsberg, Boston.com Staff November 29, 2007 01:52 PM

A few notes as the Super Bowls approach:

Coin flips were held this morning to determine the home team for each of Saturday's Super Bowls at Gillette Stadium. The home teams are Dartmouth (Division 1), Chelmsford (Division 1A), Bishop Feehan (Division 2), Hingham (Division 2A), Swampscott (Division 3), and Greater Lawrence (Division 3A).

Coaches and captains from Super Bowl-bound squads also visited Gillette Stadium this afternoon to tour the facility for the first time. The Patriots passed along a note with what sideline each team will play on. Teams playing on the East sideline are East Boston, Medfield, Gloucester, Marshfield, Everett, and Walpole.

Gillette Stadium officials also asked to pass along the following information for fans attending Saturday's games:

  • Fans are encouraged to arrive early and allow enough time to purchase tickets and enter the stadium prior to the start of their game of interest.

  • Parking lots open at 8 a.m.

  • Fans arriving from the south via Route 495 should enter the stadium parking lots via the P7 entrance. Fans arriving from the north via Route 95 should enter the stadium parking lots via the P1 entrance.

  • Ticket offices are located outside both the Patriot Place Gate and the Bank of America Gate and open at 8 a.m. General admission tickets are $13 for adults and $10 for students, children and seniors.

  • Stadium gates open at 8:30 a.m.

  • Fans of teams on the East Sideline are encouraged to enter the stadium via the Patriot Place Gate.

  • Fans of teams on the West Sideline are encouraged to enter the stadium via the Bank of America Gate.

  • Division 3A, 3 and 2A games will be carried on Comcast SportsNet.

    This blogger might want to review your comment before posting it.

    Look for updates from:

    • Chris Forsberg: An Auburn native (Go Rockets!) and Northeastern graduate, Forsberg interned at the Globe from 1999-2003 before joining the staff at Boston.com in 2006. He's still fielding angry phone calls from Everett supporters after ranking Acton-Boxboro No. 1 following the 2001 season.
    • Bob Holmes: A Reading resident (Go Rockets!) and Boston College graduate, Holmes is the Boston Globe High School Sports Editor. We remind you now that his weekly picks are often made in jest so everyone just calm down when he picks against Everett for 11 straight weeks.
    • Mike Carraggi: An Everett native (Go Tide!), Mike attends Eastern Nazarene college and is entering his second year with the Globe. He'll focus on Division 1 this fall, which means he'll spend a lot of time in his hometown, which Forsberg thinks is cool because the Tide have that Fried Dough cart.
    • Emily Wright: A Hyannis native (Go Barnstable Red Raiders!), Emily is a senior at Emerson College and has been with the Globe since the end of July. She'll cover Division 1A and will be the first intern we've trusted to navigate her way to Dennis-Yarmouth or any other school on the Cape.
    • Mike Grossi: A Lexington native (Go Minutemen!), Mike attends Northeastern and has been with the Globe for two months. He'll cover Division 2 and 2A and unsuccessfully lobbied to include Lexington in the preseason Top 20.
    • Jonathan Raymond: A native of Benicia, Calif. (a suburb of San Francisco), Jonathan attends Northeastern and has been working at the Globe since the end of June. He will be focusing on Division 3 and is likely woefully underprepared for covering a game in a foot of snow.
    • David Carty: A native of West Bridgewater (Go Wildcats!), David is a senior at Emerson College and has been working at the Globe for a year. He'll cover Divisions 3A and 4 because, "small school ball is in my blood."
    • The bench: You'll also catch updates from our regional contributors, including Globe North's Julian Benbow and South's Monique Walker. Correspondent Brendan Hall will have updates from the Globe West coverage area and will often try to sneak in Central Mass. news.
