Super Bowl 48 by the numbers, an infographic
By Mike Dyce
Super Bowl XLVIII is right around the corner and there is a lot of information and stats you hear thrown around. Ad money spent on the big game, number of viewers, people around the world. Well the folks at WalletHub.com have condensed everything into a neat little infographic below.
It starts out with some game day stats, like Peyton Manning being the first quarterback to win a Super Bowl with two teams. Or Pete Carroll being the first to win a Super Bowl and a BCS National Championship game, if you count the later vacated BCS game win over Oklahoma. He’d be the third coach to win a Super Bowl and a college football national championship though.
The numbers get down into everything includes social media, betting and national anthem stats. The most interesting part might be the 8-mile no-fly zone around the stadium. That was new to me, and especially odd given that there will be no blimps at this year’s Super Bowl because of weather concerns.
