But News 3 Sports Director Adam Winkler and photojournalist John Rector couldn't wait until Monday evening to receive a Super Bowl 'experience'.

"A lot of people aren't luck enough to have a ticket to Sunday's Super Bowl LIV at Hard Rock Stadium," explained Nicki Ewell, the Director of Events for the NFL. "So this is your Super Bowl. This is your chance to still feel like you still embraced the Super Bowl."

Monday afternoon, News 3 were given access to the Super Bowl Experience presented by Lowe's. Located inside the Miami Beach Convention Center, the set-up spans 500,000 square feet and is billed as a football amusement park.
