The Seattle Seahawks crushed the Denver Broncos 43-8 in the first Super Bowl in a cold-weather state, which was played Sunday at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
The teams faced off at the home stadium of the Giants and Jets.
It is the first Super Bowl victory in the history of the Seahawks franchise.
This year’s big event was nicknamed the first “Mass Transit Super Bowl,” and before the game, many fans were cheering the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and New Jersey Transit.
The MTA advised fans to take public transit to get to and from the big game, and thousands took that advice.
New Jersey Transit added extra trains to shuttle fans across.
Some fans complained about the crowded stations as they underwent extra security screening, but the fans NY1 spoke to, most of whom flew in from out of town, said that they’ve been impressed by just how easy it was to get to MetLife Stadium.
“The process actually has gone better than I was expecting,” said one person. “People here have been super nice, super generous and really helpful in telling us where to go.”
“They seem to have a pretty good system,” said another. “It got us from our hotel to down to the subway to this point.”
“It has worked beautifully,” said a third. “The train stopped on the clock, every time. Everything’s been beautiful.”
Fans were also shuttled from three points in Manhattan directly to MetLife Stadium.
