Tens of millions of people watched the Super Bowl on TV last Sunday but a select few actually got to go to the game!

A father and son from Janesville watched from the stands as the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots.

Nearly 70,000 people attended Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis. Most of them shelling out hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to attend. But Steve and Chase Glissendorf enjoyed the big game, free of charge.

This was Chase Glissendorf back in December: “You're going to the Super Bowl, Chase!” said Marshall Middle School assistant principal Andre Bennett.

“Whoo hoo!” he responds.

And this is Chase today: “...I'm tired...” he says.

“Everyday we were both just wiped,” said Steve.

Chase and his dad Steve are back from a 5-day, all expenses paid trip to Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis.

“It was really awesome,” said Steve. “They treated Chase like he was a superstar,”

He won two tickets to the big game for his leading Marshall's “Fuel Up to Play 60” program.

“I basically tell the other students to eat healthy and be active,”

Marshall won a nationwide contest sponsored by the NFL and Bennett chose Chase to go to the game.

And they didn't come back empty handed.

“I have an autograph from Josh Cribbs of the Cleveland Browns, I have a super bowl cup. We also have a Colts football and a small helmet signed by Alex Smith from the San Francisco 49ers,”

He also brought back the normally expensive ticket he used to get into the game.

“$800?” reporter Tim Elliott asks.

“Yup,” Chase responds. “But you paid how much?” Tim followed-up.

“Zero,” said Chase. “That's quite the deal!” added Tim.

“Everything was free,”

Chase's dad Steve had a great time but says his favorite part was spending time with his oldest son.

“I have three boys so there is never a lot of one on one time,” Steve said. “But every moment of the day we were together. We learned how to connect with each other in ways that we never did before,”
The father and son say it's an experience they'll never forget.

“It's a once in a lifetime chance,” said Chase.

And they'll always have the stories and the souvenirs to remember their trip to Super Bowl XLVI.

“And this right here this stuff is the confetti they shot out of the cannons at the end of the game,” Chase said as he showed off the red, white, and blue paper.

“Why did you hang onto that?” asked Tim.

“'Cause it's cool and it's worth money,” Chase said simply.
