Superbowl Kickoff Time Update
January 25th, 2012
The Superbowl XLVI will, in the pages of history, be recorded as Superbowl’s forty sixth annual edition, and the National Football League’s forty second annual championship battle.
Occurring on the 5th of February this year(2012), interested parties that would like to know the superbowl kickoff time at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis will be at 6:25 PM EST, 5:25 CST, when the berated championship is set to start. A battle with a series of firsts, not only will this be the first time in history for a Superbowl game to be held in Indianapolis, but also the first time in which the much anticipated game has been played in a retractable roof stadium, for two years in a row.
It will also mark the fourth time in the history of the game, when a Super Bowl game has been hosted by a cold-weather city. Other times in history when this happened was the Detroit XVI and XL, not forgetting the Minneapolis XXVI. A stone’s throw away from the Lucas Oil Stadium, Downtown Indianapolis is also poised to showcase an outdoor Super Bowl Village at the Indiana Convention Center.
US citizens may view the game on NBC, though for the first time in history, the same will be legally streamed online(to computers) through NBC.com, and on phone via the Verizon Wireless NFL app.
Commercials for the big game were already sold out by the second of this year, at an average cost of $3.5 million for every thirty-second advertisement. This makes it by far the largest Super Bowl advertising budget in history. Some went so far as to sell for $4 million for thirty seconds.
A motivated activist Randall Terry plans to use the event as a sensitization platform against abortion. It is stated that he will run an ad portraying disturbing photos of aborted fetuses.
Chances of such an ad being aired during the Super Bowl are ,nonetheless, slim bearing in mind the networks’ policy of rejecting any political or issue related ads during the event.
