Overview

The National Football League Championship game is the most-watched sporting event to grace United States airwaves each year. Ardent fans paint their faces and traverse state lines to witness the exciting match-ups first-hand at select stadiums. Thanks to many classic moments and a patriotic following, the Super Bowl has become a veritable national holiday, bringing even non-football fans to couches and living rooms across the country. Over the years, the event has become as popular for its innovative commercials and spectacular halftime shows as it has for its exciting level of play. The Raymond James Stadium is the venue for Super Bowl XLIII and will be televised on NBC.
