Super Bowl LIII is just behind the corner and everybody says this year MVP is the host city of Atlanta.

The marvelous Mercedes Benz Stadium was the stylish venue where the battle between the LA Rams and the NE Patriots took place.

In the neighboring Georgia World Congress Center, thousands of visitors were able to enjoy the Super Bowl exhibition and see the one and only Vince Lombardi Trophy. They walked around the uniforms of Atlanta Falcons, LA Rams and all other 32 NFL teams, learned about the legacy of the current NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the NFL Hall of Fame.

Our Atlanta Falcons didn’t make it to the Super Bowl. However, its stars, including QB Matt Ryan, took the opportunity to meet with fans.

American football is not just a very dramatic sport. It is also about giving back to the community. Taste of the NFL charity evening, held in Cobb Galleria Center, brought together master chiefs and NFL legends from all 32 NFL cities with one purpose to donate funds to the food banks around USA. Among the legends were former Falcon Chris Draft and former Patriot Christian Fauria who showed me one of his two Champions rings. 

The exhibits of the silent auction included personally signed shirt of Patrick Mahomes, personally signed helmets of Tom Brady and Julio Jones, and many other.

Well done, Atlanta! We are looking forward to 2020 Final Four!
