The Web-based mapping system was just one of the high-tech gadgets used Sunday to make sure the party for 74,000 people ran smoothly.

"You think you and your wife have a struggle throwing a dinner party with 30 guests -- making sure everything is where it's supposed to be at the right time?" he said. "Imagine the Super Bowl."
