Imagine playing on the Super Bowl's winning team, or calling a play in a huddle. Soon, football fans will get to make those dreams a reality at the NFL Experience in Times Square. NFL Experience President Danny Boockvar joins Cheddar with a preview of what visitors can expect when the attraction opens on December 1st.

He also gives us a sneak peak at some of the dishes on the menu at the NFL Experience. He says fans can take a bite of some of the popular snacks available at stadiums across the country.
