'Feels like a dream': Firefighter surprised with Super Bowl tickets before Chiefs game
ESPN surprised Adam Greeno with two Super Bowl tickets, upgraded seats and sideline access after he was named Lee's Summit firefighter of the year.
On Monday, ESPN's Monday Night Countdown crew surprised firefighter Adam Greeno with two golden tickets to this season's Super Bowl in Los Angeles, presented by anchor Scott Van Pelt, Jason Kelce, and Pat McAfee.
Greeno's selection as firefighter of the year at Lee's Summit Fire Station 3 prompted the recognition, highlighting his work with the Health and Wellness Committee promoting nutrition for his fellow firefighters.
Commemorating the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Van Pelt honored the 343 firefighters who died, and Greeno said the timing "made me feel good because of what we're doing" to continue their legacy.
At Arrowhead Stadium on Monday, Greeno and his wife, Josie, enjoyed upgraded field-level seats and met former Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith, who signed memorabilia before the game against the Denver Broncos.
Greeno described the event as "almost kind of feels like a dream, because it just kind of came and went so quickly," and he now hopes the Kansas City Chiefs will advance to the Super Bowl in Los Angeles.
