2009 Pro Bowl Activities

Only one week until the 2009 Pro Bowl! Given that this is the last year that the Pro Bowl may be held in Hawaii, it’s time to soak it up and enjoy the planned activities. All the activities below are free, except for the Pro Bowl itself. Please note these activities are subject to change. Apart from the Pro Bowl, my choice of activities is the NFL Pro Bowl All-Star Block Party Waikiki on Kalakaua Avenue, being held on Saturday February 7 from 7-10pm. I think I will start at Duke’s Waikiki and go from there! Yay, can’t wait! For those who have not purchased tickets, you better get to it, as it looks like there may be a potential blackout to Hawaii viewers as there are still over 5,000 tickets left for sale.
