Free Super Bowl Postcards

From NJ.COM: The remnants of a free Super Bowl postcard left outside MetLife Stadium. By Ed Beeson 

Understandably, almost all things related to the 48th Super Bowl between at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey are either expansive (i.e. tickets, parking permits, or stadium foods) or time consuming (i.e. train rides home after the game). However, according to Ed Beeson/The Star-Ledger, fans to the Super Bowl XLVIII did receive picture postcards with commemorative stamp, courtesy of the NFL, as one of the few freebies.

So far, all the postcards featured on my blog are the ones I sent or received or possessed. I am breaking the tradition today by putting this postcard to my wish list. If you have an extra copy, blank or mailed, would you please send it to me? Contact me for postal address.

Three Rivers Stadium

Postcard US-2552376 traveling to Germany shows Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania from 1970 to 2000. It was a multi-purpose stadium for the Pittsburgh Pirates (MLB) and the Pittsburgh Steelers (NFL). The stadium opened on July 16, 1970 when the Pirates played their first game. The last game in the stadium was won by the Steelers on December 16, 2000. Three Rivers Stadium was closed in 2000 and imploded in 2001, after new stadiums: Pirates' PNC Park and the Steelers' Heinz Field was build.
