Moments later, the Bears are introduced. The place erupts. We've got a Chicago crowd, folks. "Ditka", "Ditka", "Ditka"-I hear it like a siren's song. Just echoing. Walking in here, you couldn't take two steps without seeing Bears fans hug and embrace. Touching. It's been 22 years--and they're back.
Billy Joel sings-actually sings, not lip synchs-the National Anthem. Fabulous version, too. Always been a fan of Joel, and having him a part of this Super Bowl is great. Unfortunately, he won't be the halftime act. Prince will be taking that one on.
Great.
