Lots of fun for the whole family outside the stadium. Start out by showing your team spirit and get your face painted and add a couple of cool-looking temporary tattoos. Now you’re ready for the big day. There’s lots of fun stuff to do, and play,  at the Championship Dreams festival.  For example, the interactive game Armchair Quarterback. My kids would definitely sign me up for that one. You can also take a game day photo, or vote for the best moments of 2009 at the “Best of 2009” tour.
