Finish.

That was the word Tom Coughlin and his players echoed all week in Indianapolis. In just about 15 hours from now it will all be finished. The Lombardi Trophy will have a new home and Super Bowl XLVI will be history.

Buses start leaving the JW Marriott at 1:30 for the short drive to Lucas Oil Stadium. The gates open at 2 p.m. for fans and security should be extremely tight.

The only time the media has been allowed in the stadium was for media day and that took 20 minutes to get through.

Once I set up my post I'll be tweeting tons of photos @NewsdaySports and blogging anything I see interesting. At 6:30, I will be hosting the Super Bowl chat and you're all welcomed to participate.

See you in a few hours from Lucas Oil Stadium.
