Sights and sounds from Super Bowl Media Day
PHOENIX -- It's a day unlike any other in sport: Super Bowl Media Day. Thousands of reporters from near and far, and a hundred-plus players and coaches just trying to make it through the day. And this year it was moved into the cramped confines of a basketball arena, with thousands of tickets sold to fans $28.50 a pop. But, hey, if you couldn't afford it or weren't in town, worry not. FOX Sports Arizona had you covered with our crew of Craig Morgan, Jack Magruder, Jody Jackson and Alexa Tieu on the scene at US Airways Center.
