I got prepared to the big game by visiting the MET. As this Mexican figure from 100 B.C. - A.D. 300 demonstrates the tradition of playing ball in this region goes way back in time. (Note: just like in FOOTball around here, the players carried the ball in their HANDs.)
There was plenty of great food available during the game (thank you very much S&R!). The 3-foot hero sandwich was just about the most American thing I've seen so far.
