The NFL Experience at the Minneapolis Convention Center gave fans the opportunity to immerse themselves into Super Bowl LII during the week leading up to the big game.

Super Bowl rings from years past and the Vince Lombardi Trophy were on display. Fans could even put themselves through the NFL Scouting Combine or experience playing football in a virtual reality exhibit.

Super Bowl LII between the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles takes place on Sunday in Minneapolis.
