DirecTV in search of displaced NFL fans

For the second year in a row, DirectTV is giving diehard NFL displaced fans around the country the chance to earn the distinction as America’s Ultimate Displaced Fan. One winner will win a Super Bowl experience, including a trip to Miami, Fla., and tickets to the game. The winner also will rub elbows with NFL stars and celebrities when they get to participate in the DirecTV Beach Bowl celebrity flag football game and do their own media tour at the Super Bowl media center.

Last year DirecTV had some amazing entrants, including a man from Alaska who was such a diehard Carolina Panthers fan he created an online petition to get the Panthers’ logo on the two 25 yard lines at Bank of America Stadium. Another women in New Orleans paddled her way through Hurricane Katrina on a canoe and hooked up her satellite to a receiver to watch her beloved Washington Redskins play.

There also was a couple who were actually married in Raiders’ silver and gold. In the end,  Ron Lawrence, of Chesapeake, Va., was named No. 1 displaced fan. Lawrence, a diehard Dallas Cowboys’ fan, created the ultimate “Man Cave” by building an exact-scaled replica of the old Texas Stadium in his two-car garage.
