The Super Bowl & Pro Bowl : Be there live or watch from the couch?

I've recently been so lucky as to gain employment and the duties of my position call for me to be on the premises of Landshark Stadium during the days of the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl. One of the questions that I was asked in my interview was if I was okay with working during the Super Bowl (as if it were a holiday, to some it may be) I answered yes because it's not likely my Miami Dolphins will be in attendance during the big game unless they bought tickets. Even if they somehow were playing I wouldn't be able to watch. I'm not there to be entertained, I'm there to work.

So my question to you is if your favorite team was playing in the Super Bowl would you rather be able to enjoy the game from home or be there live with the disadvantage that you're not being paid to watch them play but rather make sure everything is secure? Meaning you'd have access to the field, locker rooms, etc. but would probably be fired for even glimpsing at the action on the field for more than a few seconds.

*Once again as an extreme precaution if someone I work for happens to stumble upon this blog post (unlikely) I understand my duties and am not saying I'd watch the game instead of doing my job. $11 an hour is money I'm not going to lose out on by consciously making the decision to slack off.
