Super Bowl Saturday just two days away.

What a perfect day for the annual media day at Gillette Stadium for the teams participating in the six MIAA Super Bowls to take place on Saturday. Captains, coaches and administrators of the 12 schools all visited the field where champions will be crowned, an annual tradition, and the weather gods cooperated with sunny skies and temperatures nearing 70 degrees.

Bishop Feehan sent captains Ted Schwieger and Andy Nunes along with Coach Tony Wood, the second time the Shamrocks have visited Gillette since the Super Bowls came here in 2007. Feehan defeated Walpole in the Division 2 game two years ago; this time, because the MIAA dropped the Eastern Athletic Conference two divisions this year, Feehan will play Marblehead in the championship game Saturday at 11 a.m.

Tickets will be $13 for adults and $10 for students at the game, and parking is free. I'll have a full story on the Shamrocks' visit in Friday's print edition.
