Want to buy the old NBC Sunday Night Football bus? It'll cost you

Eric Edholm

Want to roll up to your next NFL game in serious style? It might not come with Faith Hill riding shotgun, but these wheels would do the trick.

Check out the offering on eBay: The NBC Sunday Night Football Bus, which has been “retired” by the network and now has a minimum bid of “only” (per the ad) $55,000. You know, the one they used to slap the giant faces of the players of the game on at the end of the broadcasts. Check out some of the sweet pics right here.

So if you’re a person of the proper means and desire, you could buy a brand new Audi A6 and make your significant other. Or you can buy this and make yourself happy. For 16 Sundays a year or more.

See, that’s kind of the deal. If you’re going to invest a year’s worth of tuition to Dartmouth on a vehicle, you kind of have to use it more than just eight home games (10 if you count preseason) for whatever your local NFL team is, don’t you?

Maybe you consider hitting the road to all the NBC Sunday Night Football games on the schedule this season and confuse the heck out of people or lure them inside with fake promises of meeting Hines Ward or maybe Bob Costas’ makeup person.

If this is the route you choose, please note you’ll have some serious driving ahead of you. The vehicle is available for pickup in Bellingham, Massachusetts (but worry not if you’re not a New England Patriots supporter — the ad promises to remove all decals before purchase), and Weeks 1-4 would take you from Arizona to Minnesota to Dallas to Pittsburgh.

We did the math for you: That’s at least 6,500 miles in a one-month (or less) span. But think about the priceless level of cool you could achieve when you roll up into the lot in a Diesel coach with 115K highway miles and, no joke, a bamboo floor. Fire up the grill and the three TVs inside. The ad also promises that the “curiosity factor is huge and people are always asking for tours of it.”

That’s street cred money can’t buy. As Faith often says, “Hey, Jack, it’s a fact / The show’s back in town.”
