Sunday night in the Student Union Ballroom, Lancer Productions hosted a Super Bowl party for students.
Food, which included a variety of wings, meatballs, cookies, chips and numerous of drinks, was served to welcome the fans as they watched the New England Patriots face off against the Seattle Seahawks. Lancer Productions set up a projector with a screen and streamed the Big Game live online, which created some problems for the event. It ended up that the live stream was interrupted and the much anticipated Super Bowl commercials were not seen. While the crowd was strong in numbers, at the beginning, by the start of the second quarter, attendance started to dwindle down.
That did not stop those who decided to stay from enjoying themselves. Junior Delonte Harrison, sophomore Alton Coleman, were both rooting for the Patriots. Also, freshman and Steelers fan Kayla Hogues, junior Monte Harrison, and senior Jade Marable were all hanging out together at the party. “It’s alright, it’s not bad at all. It’s a good thing that the Lancer Productions put this on for some people that don’t have the TV in their rooms so they can’t watch,” said D. Harrison.
“I agree, it’s a good event. They had lots of food. I just wished more people stayed for the event and I know they couldn’t get it [the internet connection] working, but the commercials are a big thing for the Super Bowl,” commented Coleman. Still, they were able to stay positive about their whole experience.
“It is a good event for people to come out, just to hang out with your friends, even if you don’t know who’s playing. It’s a good time to relax with people you know, watch the game and have some good food,” said M. Harrison.
When asked if they would come back to the event Marable insisted, “I don’t really care for the teams, but if it is a good team playing, I’ll be here [next year], especially for the food.”
Despite, the minor problems, there was still much love for what Lancer Productions does for the students. “I love LP. LP did a really good job,” exclaimed Marable.
