THE GREATEST SHOW

The Super Bowl, at its most basic level, is a game that determines the NFL championship. It has
become so much more since the first game was played in 1967.

Super Bowl Sunday has become an unofficial holiday in the United States. It's a day when families
and friends gather to watch the game, the most famous commercials and big-name musical acts at
halftime.

The game and the two weeks of publicity, parties and other events leading up to it have turned the
Super Bowl into a spectacle. It can be compared with the Olympics or World Cup, a royal wedding or
papal celebration, the Oscars or Grammys.

Let me explain some reasons why the Super Bowl is so special. Firstly, the tickets are very
expensive- around $800 for this year's game, so many of the fans don't get a chance to go. Most are
quickly acquired by companies and corporations. Secondly, cities compete to host the Super Bowl.
Many use the game as a starting point to build a new stadium and bring in money. The game is
rotated every year, usually to a warm-weather city or one with a covered stadium. Last year's game
was played in the stadium that the New York Jets and Giants share in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
It was the first outdoor game in a cold-weather city. Future games will be in San Francisco, Houston
and Minneapolis. Arizona's University of Phoenix Stadium, site of this year's games, has a retractable
roof and a field that is wheeled outside so the grass can get sunlight.

Finally, the Super Bowl is one of the most-watched events in the world. It routinely draws more than
80 million viewers. The game has achieved 100 million viewers each of the past five years. A record
111.5 million watched Seattle against Denver a year ago. Millions more watch the game around the
world. Super Bowl commercials have become a part of the show. They attract viewers who might not
watch the game if commercials were not used. Over the years, the commercials have included
talking animals and babies, supermodels, irreverent humor and touching moments. The rate for this
year's game is $4.5 million for a 30-second tv spot.

This year's halftime show will feature Lady Gaga. Other halftime Super Bowl performers have
included Katie Perry and rock guitarist Lenny Kravitz, Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, The Who and
Madonna.
