Super Bowl Facts
This great collection of Super bowl facts and figures was last updated in October 2011.
Super Bowl Sunday is the highlight of the sporting calendar in the United States. Originally it was a play-off match between the champions of two rival professional American football leagues. Today those two leagues have merged, and the Super Bowl is the play-off match between the two "conferences" of the National Football League. It is the deciding match of the season that began the previous calendar year.
