SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 5: SUPER BOWL
Profile America - Sunday, February 5th. Football fans all over the country will be joining friends in their homes or meeting them in sports bars today to watch Super Bowl XLVI (46) this year in Indianapolis, Indiana. The annual game to determine the professional football championship has come a long way since it was first played in 1967, and the event has taken on a life of its own. The halftime entertainment is eagerly awaited - this year, headlined by Madonna. Of equal interest will be the unveiling of new commercials. Super Bowl ads are a highlight for the broadcast television advertising year, which sees just under $55 billion worth of national and local commercials sold annually. You can find these and more facts about America from the U.S. Census Bureau, online at www.census.gov.
