Super Bowl Parties/Activities with proCanes
SPP Sports Celebrity Flag Football Challenge
What it is: On a weekend when most celebrity events charge an arm and a leg for admission, this one is cheap, accessible — and on the beach. Football players and entertainers will compete in this seventh annual flag football matchup.
When and where: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Tradewinds Island Grand Beach Resort, 5500 Gulf Blvd., St. Pete Beach.
Who will be there: Doug Flutie, who will perform with his Flutie Brothers Band, as well as players including Chad "Ocho Cinco" Johnson,
Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee, Julius Jones, Bernard Berrian,
Jon Beason, Phillip Buchanon, Earnest Graham and Tae Bo master Billy Blanks.
Can you get in? Definitely. Tickets are $10 online and $15 at the door. Parking is available at the City of St. Pete Beach public lot at 155 Corey Ave., and the Sweetbay parking lot at 7625 Blind Pass Road. There will be a shuttle from both lots to the Tradewinds running from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
What else? The day will also feature giveaways, a kids' scrimmage, hospitality areas and meet-and-greets for select VIPs, and more. And the cameras will be rolling — SPP Sports is producing a 30-minute broadcast from the event that'll air at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 7 on FSN Florida. — Jay Cridlin
