On Thursday, Channel 11 saw dozens of people coming into the air-conditioned tent to cool off and take their picture with the big prize!
'It's very cool. I've never seen it before up close, that's for sure,' said Don Szoszorek of Allison Park.
'I didn't think it was going to be over here, I didn't think I'd see the trophy today, so it was pretty awesome to see it and get a picture with it,' added Frank Lapinski of Michigan.
'I've never had my picture taken with any of the other championship trophies like the NBA or NHL or for football, the NFL, so it's definitely pretty cool,' said Aaron Rabinowitz of Akron, Ohio.
