Super Bowl 49 is two weeks away, and after the conference championships, we know who will be playing. The top seeds from both conferences, the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks, will face off in the big game. Seattle came from behind to steal an overtime win over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship, while Tom Brady and the Patriots dominated the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Championship.

The top two seeds will meet after a week of rest on Feb. 1 at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. But as with every year, there are a ton of events planned surrounding the big game. The events begin a full week before the game is actually played, and this year it’s called the NFL Experience.
Held at the Phoenix Convention Center, the NFL Experience will pack autograph sessions, youth football clinics and what the NFL calls “participatory games” and “entertainment attractions.”
As far as the participatory games are concerned, the league has a whole list of them on NFL.com. You can try to run a route and catch a pass, try and convert an extra point, run around a whole bunch and stuff like that. There’s a ton of NFL Play 60 stuff as well. As far as attractions and exhibits go, there are items from the Pro Football Hall of Fame, a Fan Gallery with a look at Radio Row and a whole bunch of other stuff.
The whole thing gets underway on Jan. 24, and will run for every day until the day of the Super Bowl. A full schedule of the events planned can be found here.
Then there's Super Bowl 49 Media Day. That will take place on Jan. 27 and requires a ticket. Media Day is the biggest circus when it comes to events, but it's always a fan favorite. Needless to say, there will be plenty of media members itching to talk to Marshawn Lynch. The NFL Experience will continue after that and run until the Super Bowl.
