Well the superbowl is tomorrow and for some reason the hype isn't all what i expected it to be, honestly. For some reason i expected the streets to be flooded with people from out of town and celebs from across the country. I heard on a tlak radio show on thursday that resturants were not getting the high volume of bussiness that the expected and that hotels in the area were still had rooms available. The highlighy anticipated super bowl in Tampa Bay is not living up to the hype in my opinions.
Why is this? Does the economy affect football also? well obviously it does due to the cutting back the NFL has done in jobs around the league for the fact that 3/4 of the teams in the league aren't making enough ticket sales. Teams this year have even faced the fear of their games being blacked out because there wasnt' enough ticket sales to air the game. But, this is not the only reason why. It is true that the cheapest ticket is running for close to 15 hundred and some over a quarter mil, way out the range for the avearage NFL fan, but it's also becasue of the Arizona Cardinals.
Lets be honest, Arizona is just not one of the most marketable teams in the NFL and the fact that they even made it to the super bowl is a bit of an underdog story. Yes they have potential hal of famer Kurt Warner and two dynamic recievers with Bolden and Fitzgerald, but they are the obvious underdog and dont carry a big enough fan base for this to be an amazing super bowl. Sorry Cardinal fans but its been 61 years since you last made it to the Bowl and probably another 60 before you make it again. Good luck on Sunday but the Stealers are walking away champions again.
