Update?

Since the West Side Stadium is dead now, did the NFL say anything yet? Are they going to wait and see if another NY stadium becomes available? --feitclub July 7, 2005 05:00 (UTC)

The NFL has not really made an official announcement yet. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 7 July 2005 07:28 (UTC)

In the section about the mancrunch ad, it mentions a bowl of popcorn. But in the commercial, it is a bowl of potato chips. This should be fixed. http://mancrunch.com/media —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chairman87 (talk • contribs) 18:54, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Mancrunch ad does NOT show the other man being "disgusted" -- just surprised. It's humorous but not negative. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.126.96.39 (talk) 21:32, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Removed Citations Box

The information on the Pro Bowl is pretty much common knowledge, as most of it can be realized by looking at a sports calender, or watching five minutes of the 2009 Pro Bowl. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shep.Hayes (talk • contribs) 02:56, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Super Bowl logo

I've noticed the super bowl logo wikipedia has is the wrong logo. On the super bowl 44 website the logo is different. The football between the field goal thing on wikipedia has the middle line of the football going all the way down while on the website the line doesn't go all the way down. also the logo should be darker.

Calendar

"The game will be played on February 7, 2010, the latest date of any Super Bowl played during the calendar year."

Have there been any Super Bowls that were not played during the calendar year? LordAmeth (talk) 09:01, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It means it will be latest in the calendar a Super Bowl will be played -- early Super Bowls were played in mid-January, then late January, now early February. –Howard the Duck 14:29, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Who

"The selection of The Who is notable as the band performs the theme songs for each TV series in the CSI franchise, all of which air on CBS - which will air this Super Bowl." Removed-Unverified and confusing. Are the episodes being aired? What season? Sephiroth storm (talk) 14:02, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

France: Viewers in France will be able to watch the event on W9.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ldoreille (talk • contribs) 14:03, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

W9 is a tv channel not a radio network,

The link needs to be moved in the "international telecasts" section —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ldoreille (talk • contribs) 10:01, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also Spanish Canal+ is a TV Station, not a Radio Station. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.129.36.60 (talk) 22:56, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Game Line

The game did open at -4 Colts. However, due to the volume distribution the line has shifted to -6 Colts. A significant move in gambling lines for a Superbowl absent the injury of star players. The line can be confirmed at any major sports betting site or ESPN.com's odd aggregation service. http://espn.go.com/nfl/lines

Uniforms

What does everyone think about the possibility of adding the teams' uniforms somewhere on the article? We could follow the Wikipedia soccer model. On every big soccer final there are uniforms of the two teams displayed somewhere (for example: 2009 UEFA Champions League Final and 2006 FIFA World Cup Final). I think the choice of uniforms are of historical importance and it would benefit the Super Bowl articles to have a small picture or representation of them somewhere. --Tocino 20:36, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The soccer uniforms you mentioned are rendered by Template:Football kit, which uses simple drawings and sub-templates to display small approximations of those uniforms. A similar elaborate template for American football was created at Template:American football uniform, but it is not widely used. What IS widely used on these American football articles, however, are actual images for the uniforms, like File:NFCS-Uniform-NO.PNG and File:AFCS-Uniform-IND.PNG. But unlike Template:Football kit and Template:American football uniform, these images are tagged as fair use and must comply with all the criteria of WP:NFCC. Zzyzx11 (talk) 20:19, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think we should add Template:American football uniform -style pictures for this article? I would be in favor of it. --Tocino 00:02, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have always been neutral to that template. On the one hand, its nice to have something that is free content and thus does not have to follow all the WP:NFCC criteria. On the other hand, the most significant part of an American football uniform, that primarily distinguishes the appearance of one team from another, is the team logo on the helmet. This is probably one major reason why Template:American football uniform has not become widely used and fair use images are primarily used instead. Zzyzx11 (talk) 07:12, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd have to agree with Zzyzx11 on this one. The most distinctive way of recognizing teams is their helmets and the logos on their helmets, but they aren't free content, so it's a bit of a drag including them on every article.
