New York City and the state of New Jersey as Mayor Bill de Blasio welcomed fans and National Football League (NFL) officials ahead of Sunday's (2 FEB. 2014) big game.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League.\u003cbr/\u003eThis year, New York is an official co-host of the game with New Jersey between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks at East Rutherford's MetLife Stadium.\u003cbr/\u003eAlthough de Blasio will not be in attendance on Sunday, earlier in the week he thanked the NFL for \"having the guts and the vision to bring the Super Bowl to the Northeast and an outdoor stadium.\"\u003cbr/\u003eHe added the event would be \"even more special when there's a little chill in the air.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe game could beat records for the coldest one in history with the wintry weather having taken its hold on the area. \u003cbr/\u003eNFL officials have prepared a welcome package for Super Bowl fans attending the game, equipped with winter gear and electronics to make the outdoor environment more manageable. \u003cbr/\u003eDe Blasio said he would be watching the Super Bowl on television with his son. \u003cbr/\u003eThe decision not to buy tickets to the high-priced event and to publicly say so is in line with the image de Blasio crafted during his campaign of a middle-class family man focused on fixing the city's widening income inequality.\u003cbr/\u003eNonetheless, fans can anticipate cheaper than usual ticket prices in days leading up to the big game, according to an online marketplace providing services for buyers and sellers of tickets for sports and entertainment events.\u003cbr/\u003e\"You can get in right now for about 1,400 dollars so that's about as low as we've ever seen in the three days before a Super Bowl,\" said a spokesperson from StubHub.\u003cbr/\u003eSome fans of the big game said they paid a fair price for a sports event as significant as the Super Bowl.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We thought it was going to be worse, but we got a pretty good deal,\" said Debbie Stuller, a ticket holder from the US city of Seattle.\u003cbr/\u003eThe excitement ahead of the game also spilled over to some of the top NFL players.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I see that the Super Bowl is a huge event for the world, there's a lot of cameras, a lot of different languages, a lot of countries, a lot of diversity. I love it,\" said Richard Sherman, a Seattle Seahawks Cornerback during a media event in New Jersey on Tuesday.\u003cbr/\u003eSecurity around the event is also likely to be heightened.\u003cbr/\u003eFederal and local authorities have studied intelligence about recent attacks on mass transit in Russia, law enforcement officials said on Wednesday.\u003cbr/\u003eBecause this year's Super Bowl has the distinction of relying on mass transit to take up to 30,000 fans to the game, the deadly bombings in the southern Russian city of Volgograd have raised worries here, according to Colonel Rick Fuentes, head of the New Jersey State Police. \u003cbr/\u003eThe suicide attacks on a trolley bus and a train station that killed more than 30 people within weeks of the Winter Olympics also prompted a series of meetings among the planners for Super Bowl security, he said.\u003cbr/\u003eLocal officials are counting on the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security \"to keep an eye on and brief us on those events,\" Fuentes said.\u003cbr/\u003eAP Television\u003cbr/\u003eNew York, 29 January 2014\u003cbr/\u003e1.
