CBS Super Bowl XLIV - Day 20
February 08, 2010
Our “trailer” community is down to about (150). By 5:00 PM, the network and the switch were down. Security is practically gone other than access to the stadium and the CBS compound. The stadium’s clean-up started right after the game. By 7:00 AM today, you can still see strong remnants of yesterday’s big game.
