TAMPA, Fla. – Wearing N95 masks and plastic face shields, John Goodman, his wife Alison McMillian and their two teenage sons navigated the crowded streets outside Raymond James Stadium and settled into their Super Bowl seats about three hours before kickoff Sunday.
They were the first ones in their section. They wanted no part of the “craziness” taking place most everywhere else. “We were pretty nervous about it,” said Goodman, who made the trip with his family from Greensboro, North Carolina.
They arrived in Orlando on Friday and made the 90-minute drive to Tampa the following day to “check out the scene” and grab dinner.
