The 9th Annual 101 NFL All-Access hosted  by the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission is really a great event that helps fans connect with the NFL. This events works to increase the economic growth and tourism by attracting major sports and entertainment events to Los Angeles. Fans from all over paid 500.00 dollars just for the experience of being part of the NFL. Former coaches and players have a chance to touch so many lives who attended the event by taking part in several of the activities that were schedule for the event.

One of the events is play like a pro that gives fans a chance to compete just like a pro football quarterback in the quarterback distant challenge, the quarterback accuracy challenge, the wide receiver challenge and the extra point kicking challenge. The fans had a chance to suit up like a pro with Gordan Batty equipment manager for the Super Bowl XLV Green Bay Packers right in a locker room feeling excitement getting ready to walk down that hall into the stadium. Whatever fantasy as a football fan you had a chance to live that dream at the NFL 101 All-Access.

The big buzz about the event was having a football staduim built right next to the Staple Center Farmers Field. Many fans from Los Angeles spoke how they want to have their own football team back here in their own city and hope that the city council do the right thing and get the stadium approve to be built. Fans met with several Super Bowl Champions during the event. Greg Townsend from  Super Bowl XLIII The  Los Angeles Raiders, Kurt Warner MVP/Super Bowl XXXIV Champion from The St Louis Rams and Clay Matthews Jr. from the Super Bowl XLV Champions The Green Bay Packers.

My favorite part of the event was to listen to some of the panelist who were on hand to set down and discuss several issue about the NFL. Will there be football in 2011 and how will this hurt football if they don't reach a agreement . Sports Illustrated Senior Sports Writer Peter King was ask  what teams do he think will make it to the Super Bowl in 2011 if there is football this season. This is what Peter King had to say about  the Super Bowl.
