SUPER BOWL



What´s the Super Bowl we hear so much about in American films? It´s probably the most popular sports event of the year: it´s the championship game of the National Football League (NFL) (the premier association of professional American football)

The 2010 Super Bowl will be played on the 7th Feb, 2010 at the Dolphin Stadium in "South Florida". The poster here on the left advertises the game this year; see if you can find the following information there: where it will take place, the teams that will play, the date, and what championship number it is.

But the Superbowl is much more than a football game; Super Bowl Sunday is a time to get together with friends, watch the game and enjoy the following:

1. food: snacks, beer, pizza (it seems to be the busiest day of the year for homee deliveries)and the second-largest day for food consumption in the U.S, after Thanksgiving Day.

2. show: between the two halves of the game there is an entertainment show with famous singers and stars

3. the audience: if you are lucky enough to get a ticket, you get to be part of the show as well....Click here to see what I mean

4. commercials: everybody is looking forward to watching the commercials, which may be either funny or clever, and to talking about them the next day. Here´s one of the ads, but you´ve got many more in this link
