Chapter 863 Everyone insists
"fly!"
"fly!"
The whole place roared, and the overwhelming sounds were all the same voice——
Kansas City Chiefs fans take over the Mercedes-Benz Dome.
This...is not unexpected.
The Los Angeles Rams went to California for such a short time and faced poor attendance last season that Goff and Donald had to shout to the Los Angeles audience again and again, "Please come and watch us play, we are winning." This It is also one of the dilemmas of big cities. Although the football market has rich potential, the audience also has more choices.
But Kansas City is different. Now this city only has the Chiefs, one of the four major league teams. No matter whether the results are good or bad, the fans will never leave. They have experienced the troughs together, slowly climbed up, and reached the top together. Along the way over the years, let Their bond with the team is completely intertwined.
At this time, the Kansas City Chiefs fans easily turned Atlanta into their home court, while the Los Angeles Rams fans scattered around the world tried to make some noise, but lacked organization and were swallowed up by the deafening support in the blink of an eye.
However, this is an auditory illusion, while vision is another story——
Amidst the vast red, the iconic sapphire blue jersey of the Los Angeles Rams home court is spread out, filling every corner of the field of vision.
reason?
Simple and brutal: money.
Super Bowl tickets are hard to come by.
This year, the NFL has been mired in controversy, with a series of influential celebrities publicly calling for a boycott of the Super Bowl, which has seriously affected the prospects of the Super Bowl.
When Super Bowl tickets went on sale, although the tickets were still sold out quickly, the speed and popularity showed a significant decline - compared with last year.
Last season, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs were hailed as dark horses, but both teams are veteran teams. They have been in the league for many years, have deep roots and many fans, and their support cannot be underestimated. In addition, both teams have hope. Winning the championship can be called the most suspenseful game in recent years. Super Bowl tickets have been hyped to an unbelievable price.
However, this year, the public opinion trend of the entire environment is on the opposite side of the Super Bowl. Naturally, it cannot surpass the incredible grand occasion of last season.
The turning point came after the NFL regular season award selection was announced. Firstly, the regular season MVP was announced. Secondly, the Super Bowl formed the "Offensive Player of the Year VS Defensive Player of the Year" matchup, plus the half-way Super Bowl. The expectations brought about by the Super Bowl finally turned against the wind.
The official price of NFL Super Bowl tickets is that the minimum ticket price is US$500 and the average ticket price is US$4,657. However, the tickets have been sold out and can only be purchased on the secondary market or even the black market.
Originally, this year's Super Bowl tickets were "not too popular" and the highest price was only about 10,000 US dollars; but now they are recovering strongly, and the prices have soared to 20,000 US dollars and 25,000 US dollars——
And, there are still no brakes.
In this situation, fans in Kansas City, which have been plagued by unemployment and economic downturn in recent years, really have no way to go to the Super Bowl; while Los Angeles is a different story.
What's more, residents of Kansas City will need to face huge support for the second year in a row and Los Angeles for the first time, and households are in a similar situation to save funds.
Finally, the situation was formed.
On the auditory level, the Kansas City Chiefs own the Mercedes-Benz Dome; but on the visual level, the Los Angeles Rams firmly control the home field advantage.
There is no doubt that this is a unique experience, and every aspect makes Super Bowl LIII a unique spectacle that will go down in history.
Jiang Yin and Donna were also full of novelty, and their emotions were aroused little by little. Anticipation and curiosity quietly surged through their veins.
"...Felix, next time, next time there will be a chance..."
"No, Mom, there is no next time. Can't you still accept this reality? Every day of my life may be my last day..." "No, Felix, stop, stop what you are saying."
"But this is reality, cruel but true. I know, and I don't want this either. So, I can't let Annie down, I need to seize the opportunity firmly."
In the crowd, the sound of tearful arguments robbed the view, and Jiang Yin saw Karen at a glance.
The chubby woman who always had a bright smile and was generous with her warm embraces was now standing there desperately and fragilely, breaking down.
Seeing Felix sitting in a wheelchair with a stubborn and angry face, Karen almost felt heartbroken.
Karen took a deep breath and managed to calm down, "Felix, I understand. I have always supported your decision. We are now in Atlanta, right? I even agree that it doesn't matter if we don't have tickets, we are here Watching the game with other fans outside the stadium.”
"But the weather, no, if it rains, it will kill you, I, I can't."
Felix's eyes were still full of stubbornness, "Even if it's not a rain, it might be a gust of wind or a sneeze. I might say goodbye to the world at any time. If that's the case, I hope I choose the way to say goodbye. I hope as a person Chief, I hope it’s in the Super Bowl, even if today is the anniversary of my death.”
Karen kept shaking her head, but finally couldn't control it, "No!"
Heartbreakingly.
At this moment, a drizzle of rain fell from the sky, just a continuous drizzle, falling lightly on the cheeks, like a breeze.
Still, it touched Karen.
"No, I don't allow it." Karen shook her head, "I would rather you live in pain, I would rather you live hating me, and I am not willing to accept your departure. I don't allow it, I don't want to experience the pain of Jenna and the others, I wasn't prepared."
Not far away, Jenna and Jeff heard it.
Jenna was about to speak, but she saw Karen looking up, shaking her head with tears in her eyes, mouthing, "I'm sorry," and then Karen ignored Jenna and rushed straight to Felix, Prepare to push Felix's wheelchair away.
It seems that Karen and Felix were not able to buy tickets for the Super Bowl, but they still arrived in Atlanta and were ready to watch the game outside the stadium with thousands of fans who also could not buy tickets.
However, there was nothing Karen could do about such bad weather, and she was worried that it might be Felix's catastrophe.
Karen pushed Felix's wheelchair regardless, preparing to leave by force.
Felix tried to resist, but failed to catch up with Karen's movements. Seeing that Karen was about to take Felix away, Felix rolled and jumped out of the wheelchair.
"Felix!"
Karen shouted desperately amid the exclamations.
Jiang Yin quickly patted Li Yi on the shoulder, "There is an ambulance parked at the entrance of the stadium. Please get the medical staff over quickly."
Li Yi turned around and ran away without saying a word.
Karen tried to get closer to Felix, but Felix raised his hands to resist and continued to back away with difficulty and struggle. This action directly broke Karen's heart.
"Mom, I can't, I..."
"Mom, I promised Annie, I promised, at least, this is the only thing I can do for her."
