This 81-year-old Patriots fan has been to every single Super Bowl

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Donald Crisman has more than a half-century of Super Bowl memories behind him, from taking a 24-hour train ride to Super Bowl II to seeing his beloved New England Patriots win in overtime last year. But he says Sunday’s matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Patriots just might be his final big game.

The 81-year-old resident of Kennebunk, Maine, a member of the ever-shrinking “Never Miss a Super Bowl Club,” has been to every season finale since the game’s inception in 1967. He has bought his own ticket every year except one.

Crisman was featured in a 2010 Visa commercial along with three friends who also had attended every Super Bowl.
