Super Bowl Saturday Night
On the evening of February 2, 2008, less than 24 hours before the kickoff of Super Bowl XLII, Tempe Town Lake filled with nearly 50,000 excited fans for the first annual Super Bowl Saturday Night. Scott was the Executive Producer of Super Bowl Saturday Night, which the NFL likened to a New Year’s Eve-style event. The NFL celebrated the count down to the Super Bowl in style with host Jerry O'Connell, Boston pop punk sensation, Boys Like Girls, the Counting Crows and a fireworks spectacular that light up the night sky.
“As the Counting Crows faded away into the sunset, suddenly the sky seemed to explode with fireworks. It was like New Year’s, Fireworks Night and the Queen’s 50th Jubilee rolled into one monstrous multicoloured firework.” - SportingLife.com
The free outdoor concert and fireworks spectacular featured an appearance by NFL star Derrick Brooks, Line Backer for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

“It seemed a long way from 143rd Street. Shaking hands with the Queen of England was a long way from being forced to sit in the colored section of the bus going into downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. Dancing with the Duke of Devonshire was a long way from not being allowed to bowl in Jefferson City, Missouri, because the white customers complained about it.”
—Althea Gibson (b. 1927)
“The return of the asymmetrical Saturday was one of those small events that were interior, local, almost civic and which, in tranquil lives and closed societies, create a sort of national bond and become the favorite theme of conversation, of jokes and of stories exaggerated with pleasure: it would have been a ready- made seed for a legendary cycle, had any of us leanings toward the epic.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“The night has been unruly. Where we lay,
Our chimneys were blown down, and, as they say,
Lamentings heard i’ th’ air, strange screams of death,
And prophesying with accents terrible
Of dire combustion and confused events,
New-hatched to the woeful time.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
