The general managers of the hotels hosting the teams during Super Bowl XLVI - University Place Hotel and the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown - placed a bet on who would win the game. The AFC Team Champions were the New England Patriots and the NFC Team Champions were the New York Giants. The terms of the wager were as follows:
1) If the Giants had won, the AFC Team Host GM would serve New York Cheese Cake and Manhattan Clam Chowder to the NFC Team Host GM. Likewise, if the Patriots had won the NFC Team Host GM would serve Boston Cream Pie and New England Clam Chowder to the AFC Team Host GM.
2) The GM hosting the losing team would also dye his hair to match the colors of the winning team. In this case, both teams have Red, White and Blue Colors.
3) And finally, the management team of the losing hotel would donate 100 hours of donated time and resources to Riley Children's Foundation.
Certainly, neither hotel minded the donation of the 100 hours of service to a charity as important as Riley. However, the other terms of the wager were a little harder to take. Unfortunately for Tom Cappucci - the GM of the host hotel for the Patriots- the Giants reigned victorious! Proving he's a good sport, Tom delivered cheesecake and soup to his rival. He also visited a nearby salon - the French Pharmacie to update his do to patriotic colors. (see below)
