Take
the Kids to the NFL Experience
Two weeks ago,
Cobo Center was filled with the latest cars and trucks. Now it has
been transformed into the NFL Experience. A theme park for the entire
family with FREE autograph sessions and more.
At the
NFL Experience there are many exciting things to check out. If you
remember last year, Detroit was home to the MLB All-Star Game. This
is similar to the FanFest that took place at Cobo Center. The only
difference is this one is about football.
You will
be able to get FREE autographs from over 50 NFL superstars. There
will be a Topps Super Bowl Card Show promising to be the largest
one ever. Coachs in the NFL will give fans and inside look at what
goes on during a football game.
You will
have the chance to dress up like your favorite football players
and get your picture taken. There will be free face painting and
temporary tattoos as well. NFL players will read books about football
to the kids who attend.
Several
football clinics will be taking place throughout the event. Learn
to improve your passing, kicking and punt skills and everything
else you need to be a pro at football. They are aimed for boys and
girls from ages 8-12. In addition, look for the referee clinics
so you will now how to call a play.

they should know about the game we call football. Also, there will
be a cheerleader spirit clinic for those girls who want to improve
their skills on cheering. There will be teams from junior high,
high school and All-Star teams.
There
