KENNEBUNK — In a sports memorabilia-filled room, Don Crisman sits in his usual armchair, sifting through old magazines and photographs.

There’s an intense nostalgia in the way he describes all 59 Super Bowls he’s witnessed, the athletes he’s met and the cities he’s visited.

It’s hard for Crisman, 89, to single out a favorite memory, or piece of memorabilia. A jersey signed by NFL Hall of Famer Bart Starr, a two-time Super Bowl MVP. A limo ride with John Elway, a two-time Super Bowl champ with the Denver Broncos. A spectacular halftime performance from Diana Ross in 1996.

Crisman, a Kennebunk resident, has attended every Super Bowl game, beginning with the first in 1967 in Los Angeles. He’s one of three living people — Gregory Eaton of Michigan and Thomas Henschel of Pennsylvania are the others — to have attended every Super Bowl.

Henschel and Eaton also plan to attend the Super Bowl 60 on Sunday.

When his beloved New England Patriots made a surprising run for this year’s trophy, Crisman knew he had to make just one more. He’ll be in Santa Clara, California, on Sunday when the Pats play the Seattle Seahawks.

For years, Crisman insisted that his Super Bowl travels were coming to an end.

“I’ve threatened to quit six times, at least,” he said.

This year, however, he means it.

“This is definitely the end,” Crisman said, firmly patting the right side of his armchair to emphasize his decision.  

A lot went into this decision, the biggest factor being his age — Crisman will turn 90 in May.

“My daughter has to get a wheelchair (for me) sometimes; some of these stadiums and the security lines are ridiculous,” he said. “And I can stay on my feet for 20 minutes, but after that I need a ride. So it’s gotten a little difficult getting around.”

There’s also the financial component. With the exception of Super Bowl 50 in 2016, the NFL has never paid for Crisman’s tickets, thus making it “not an inexpensive adventure.”

Nevertheless, Crisman will make his way to California to see his favorite team compete one last time. The Patriots faithful has seen everything, from the the team’s first Super Bowl appearance in 1986 to the six Lombardi trophies during the Tom Brady and Bill Belichick era.

Then there is this season, in which New England made a run to the top not even Crisman expected.

“This year has been unbelievable,” he said. “In my mind, they were going to be 8-9, 9-8. I thought they were going to improve, but nothing like what has happened. … (Quarterback Drake) Maye is quite young. Is he going to develop further, who knows?” 

Still, he’d love one more victory.

“It’s a blessing they’ve recovered and I think Seattle’s going to be tough, but I’d sure love to see a win,” Crisman said. 

Being a member of the “Never Miss a Super Bowl Club” has defined much of Crisman’s life. He’s made lifelong friendships, traveled across the country and even starred in a Visa commercial narrated by Morgan Freeman. 

“I kind of feel like a spoiled brat sometimes,” he said. “I meet so many people, typically in these 10 days, that just want to go to one (Super Bowl), and I’ve already been to 60. I feel that’s a little unfair, but it’s a bug I caught.” 

A bug that, this weekend, will prove it has one go-around left.

“As it’s finally here, it’s more bittersweet than I expected,” Crisman’s daughter, Susan Metevier, said. “It’s really amazing and I’m so grateful for all the time and the memories. It’s so much more than football. It’s the trip of a lifetime, again, and I’m thrilled to have the chance to be with dad one more time.”

Sunday in Santa Clara will mark the end of an era for Crisman; even if New England is back in the game next year, he said he will hold firm in his decision. But his love for football and the Patriots will endure, even if he is not at a future Super Bowl.

After all, Crisman can relive his favorite Super Bowl memories every time he settles back into his armchair.
