NBC just said that they're pumping in the smell of sulfur and factory (whatever the hell that is) to the crowd watching live in the stadium.

Sure, they pumped the odors of burning sulfur and industrial smoke into the stadium, but no equal time for the smell of cow patties.

I come from Sheffield so I'm always going to get excited by something that celebrates steel-making.

And then they Arctic Monkeys played, just to make it even more Sheffieldy!
