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.

—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

Between two bushes under the rain;
I thought to have whistled her down that way,
I whistled and whistled and whistled in vain.
Oro, oro!
To-morrow night I will break down the door.”
