The Super Bowl is the most popular football championship game in America

, as teams play smaller bowl games to reach this particular tournament. It is like a drug for loyal football fans because it becomes an annual addiction. North Americans pay top dollar for tickets to see the game live. Many of them throw parties on this occasion and love to enjoy the game with their family and friends. It's no less than a celebration for the Americans. Most would consider it a national holiday if they could because the day the game takes place is called Super Bown Sunday. Tens of millions of Americans fill living rooms and bars, making it one of the most popular television broadcasts. Not only that, the record says it is also one of most watched sporting events of the entire world.

It was when the National Football League and the Americal Footbal League merged in 1966 that the Super Bowl became a part of the agreement. According to the agreement the champion teams of the two leagues were to play an?AFL NFL World Championship against each other.?This AFL/NFL tournament continued until the merger was official in 1970. Once merged, the leagues became a conference and then the championship game was played between the two most winning teams in the conference.

The name "Super Bowl" had been derived from a college football game. From Tournament of Roses to Rose Bowl the game has had different mini bowl games preceding it to determine the two top teams. But finally Lamar Hunt, the owner of Kansas City Chiefs used the term "Super Bowl" at first to refer this game during the merger meetings.?

The event is hosted in different locations and the decision is taken in well advance on the process of bidding. Even the stadiums for upcoming Super Bowl championship have also been decided. ?For instance, the 2012, 2013, and 2014 locations have been determined and they include Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianpolis; the Lousiana Superdome in New Orleans; and MetLife Stadium in New York's East Rutherford. Usually teams do not play in their home grounds. New Orleans, the?Greater Miami? and the?Greater Los Angeles?area are some of the places where the game has been conducted for the maximum number of time. Traditionally, locations with less than 50F or 10C are not taken into account unless the field is covered by a fixed roof. The teams are allowed to wear the colored or white?jerseys of their choice.

Standing at the top with the most number of victors at the Super Bowl championship is the Pittsburgh Steelers. The San Francisco Forty-Niners and the Dallas Cowboys are tied for second place.

It is one of such events that get the highest exposure. Unlike the other bowl games, or playoffs, the Super Bowl has a thirty minute half time show that is very famous. In the beginning bands from high schools and colleges would play their instruments and march, but that is no longer the case. The game's popularity has also increased its entertainment value. Renowned celebrities and singers perform during the pre-game and halftime ceremonies.?Due to its high viewership, it charges the most for its commercial airtime. Many companies pay top dollar, so they save their best advertisements for this particular broadcast. The commercials are sometimes just as anticipated as the game itself.

Therefore, Super bowl is not merely a football championship. There is more to it. With its fun element, entertainment and business value it is one of the most awaited event in the whole world.
