TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - It's every boy's dream, and one local teen hopes to relive that dream once again.

Christian Ellis of Terre Haute was at the Super Bowl game in 2007 when the Colts beat the Chicago Bears.

As Dallas Clark was going through the tunnel holding up the Lombardi Trophy, Christian reached out and was able to touch it.

A picture of this moment was captured and shown in Sports Illustrated.

Christian and his father, Mike Ellis, are down in Miami for this year's Super Bowl.

Christian is hoping he gets that opportunity one more time.

"Now I know how to touch it," said Christian Ellis. "I know where to go and maybe I can touch it again."

"He was rather insistent and there's not very many times a father and son get to do something like this," said Mike Ellis.
