Minneapolis Convention Center in January 1992 prior to
Super Bowl XXVI. The NFL's interactive theme park was followed by
Major League Baseball's first "FanFest" in
San Diego, California six months later. In 2013 the NFL Experience was hosted at the
New Orleans Morial Convention Center. The NFL Experience was not held for

Broadway and
Times Square in
New York City, which featured a similar array of fan-oriented events and attractions (such as an artificial toboggan hill). As a parody of the event,
Animal Planet hosted a "Puppy Bowl Experience" at
Discovery Times Square to promote its annual
Puppy Bowl special, which traditionally airs on the day of the Super Bowl. The 2015 NFL Experience was hosted at the
Phoenix Convention Center. The 2017 NFL Experience was hosted at
