Of the top 10 most watched television programs of all time, 9 of them are Super Bowls | |
The Super Bowl has seen its international audience grow by 7% since 2003. Clearly, as the international audience for the Super Bowl expands, so does the game itself | |
With an average global audience of over 100 million, the Super Bowl is second only to the European UEFA Champions League final (that's soccer for all you American football fans.) | |
The Super Bowl has been televised in as many as 230 countries, and translated into as many as 33 different languages | |
The first two Super Bowl games were called "The AFL- NFL Championship Game". The third Super Bowl was called Super Bowl III, and the name stuck | |
In the early days, Super Bowls generally featured college and high school marching bands for the halftime show. (This year, Madonna will perform a 5 song set-list, with a little help from Nicki Minaj and LMFAO) | |
According to the USDA, Super Bowl Sunday is the "second highest day of food consumption in the United States, after Thanksgiving" | |
8 million pounds of guacamole and 14,500 tons of chips are eaten on Super Bowl Sunday | |
Over 700,000 footballs are produced annually for official NFL use, and 72 of them are used in the Super Bowl | |
Sales for next year's Super Bowl (CBS) have already begun |
