Pearl Jam show for sure. I'm a huge football fan, but when it comes to the Super Bowl its just way too commericalized and too much other stupid crap that goes on around the game that I just cannot stand.
I sort of picked PJ over the Cubs (Maybe) if by some glorious miracle the Cubs hit the series it will be the weekend of Bridge and even though it isn't PJ it's still Ed and a reunion with Jack. So that's all it took.

Pearl Jam. I would sell Super Bowl tickets. Half the people there do not give a shit who's playing, who wins or about anything. I'd rather watch it in the comfort of my home.

This is a no-brainer. Pearl Jam. The Super Bowl is the epitome of the over-produced, over-exposed, soul-less, commercialized and sanitized National Football League (IMHO ).

American football bores me to tears. Between that and PJ, I'd take the worst seat in the house for PJ against the best corporate box at American football.
Right now, I'd happily take any seat at a FIFA World Cup finals game featuring the Aussies, though, over PJ. Come onnnnn South Africa 2010!
It depends. I'm a huge Giants fan, and know that there is a distinct possibility that this Super Bowl could be over in the first quarter. But whatever, I'm picking the Super Bowl, for obvious reasons. There's on average 30+ Pearl Jam shows a year. Durrh... most fans may never live to see their team in the big game.
Don't like football, so Pearl Jam wins. Now if it were a choice between watching the Indians in the World Series from behind home plate vs. the Pearl Jam show, that would be a tough decision.

I've only been as close as 2nd row for PJ, and the seats aren't 50 yard line, but I'll be able to give you a fair evaluation and comparison in about 9 days...Phoenix here I come!

hands down.. Pearl Jam show... the best seats in the house for the Superbowl are the seats in MY house...
Pearl Jam will never play that arena...
I could see Pearl Jam doing the Superbowl one day. In fact i would hope for it as a fan of the band. I think it would be a great credit to their long standing success and great career as a top notch band and live act. I don't think that it is that far fetched of an idea. It was not to long ago many would swear on their lives that they would never do a festival again. Say in the next 10 -20 years if the band is still going or perhaps take a break and later unite, what other quality acts of my generation (the 90's) are out there worthy of that honor. I don't think there are too many IMO. And the age demogapahics of most of the fans that will be supporting the NFL in the next 10 years are perfect. They are teens of the 90's. Im all for it!!!!!!!!!!!!

i believe you've put entirely too much thought into this imo
i have wished for so long, how i wish for you today
JEFFREY ROSS ROGERS 1975-2002
Thanks, I plan to. Hopefully Eli won't ruin it for me.
Well, i am a huge pats fan so the superbowl would be great, but i would take front row at pj before any superbowl hands down. i cant see how people pay so much money for something that lasts 4 hours and you have nothing to show for it.....
especially in your case dude......manning is simply not good enough. if the giants pull out an upset, you can thank their d. the only chance they have on offense is manning to burress every time...toomer is not going to win a superbowl, neither is jacobs or anone else they have on that roster.
No time to be void and save up on life, you gotta spend it all.

I'd have to take the Super Bowl cause it's not a gaurantee your team will ever get back to a SB. Especially if they're going for a historic record.....LET's GO PATRIOTS!

Okay, since today is the first day of the NFL, a question popped up in my head:
Would you rather have front row seats to a Pearl Jam concert (city of choice) or have 50 yard line seats to the Super Bowl (your team playing- or your sport of choice)?
It's a tough choice, but I think I would go with Pearl Jam in Seattle. You know the outcome of the concert- it will rock! But your team can't guarantee a victory.
Go Bears!
I would rather sit nosebleeds at a PJ concert than sit front row and see those cheatin patriots at another superbowl. Now if Brady were to get sacked 12 times then I would love to be front row. GO GIANTS!

I sort of picked PJ over the Cubs (Maybe) if by some glorious miracle the Cubs hit the series it will be the weekend of Bridge and even though it isn't PJ it's still Ed and a reunion with Jack. So that's all it took.

Nothing seems to satisfy.
I said, I dont want it.
I just need it.
To breathe, to feel, to know Im alive.
Right now, I'd happily take any seat at a FIFA World Cup finals game featuring the Aussies, though, over PJ. Come onnnnn South Africa 2010!
