From Pop Warner leagues to the pros, football players dream of reaching the Super Bowl. Fans also dream of securing perhaps the hottest single ticket in sports. Most experience the Big Game as part of a massive television audience.
Making The Big Game: Tales of an Accidental Spectator traces the true story of a fan's unexpected trip to witness one of the most unlikely upsets in the history of the NFL. Along the way, the author discovers the quirks of the Super Bowl Lottery, internet frauds, high-tech scalpers and fan legacies.
Making The Big Game wraps stories of life, work, and relationships around a frantic and often humorous countdown to game day beginning with a casual dinner table conversation and ending among screaming diehard fans.
More than an upper deck account of the New York Giants' stunning Super Bowl XLII upset over the New England Patriots, this story also offers the perspective of an every day fan and part-time sports business insider.
Jeffrey Fekete weaves a personal narrative of family, regional loyalties, and modern American culture. He delves into childhood memories and adult experiences to explore how fans pour hopes and dreams into following highly paid heroes and franchises with billion dollar valuations.
You can order by mail your personally signed copy of Making The Big Game: Tales of an Accidental Spectator for $15.00 ($20.00 for orders outside the U.S.) through this website in advance of the retail release on Two Harbors Press.
You can also download here at no charge a fictional short story titled The Big Game in 2039. It's my somewhat educated guess at how fans and media may experience professional football's title game in the future.
