“I want to know what it's like to play in a Super Bowl and win one. My career will be great without it. But, personally, selfishly, I want to know what it feels like. ~~ Dan Marino, CBS Sports, Analyst THE NFL TODAY; Pro-Football Hall of Fame (2005) and former American football quarterback, played for Miami Dolphins (NFL). Despite never being on a Super Bowl-winning team, he is recognized as one of the greatest quarterbacks in American football history.

According to a recent National Retail Federation survey, 184 million Americans will be watching Super Bowl XLIX with average viewer spending of $77.88, up 14% from last year's $68.27 average viewer spend. The NRF survey also indicated that fans plan on splurging on various items from game day food and new televisions to athletic wear and decorations. Total spending according to the survey is expected to reach $14.3 billion.* (*Total spending is an extrapolation of U.S. population ages 18 and above.)
Super Bowl XLIX marks the second Super Bowl contested at University of Phoenix Stadium, which hosted Super Bowl XLII in February 2008, and the third Super Bowl contested in the Phoenix area, as Super Bowl XXX was held at Sun Devil Stadium in nearby Tempe on January 28, 1996.
NFL owners initially voted in November 2005 to award a Super Bowl to Kansas City, Missouri, in honor of Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt, the founder of the American Football League (AFL) in the 1960s who helped engineer the annual game. Then-NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue further announced on March 5, 2006, that Kansas City would host Super Bowl XLIX.
However, the game was contingent on the successful passage of two sales taxes in Jackson County, Missouri, on April 4, 2006. The league then announced on October 11, 2011, that University of Phoenix Stadium will host Super Bowl XLIX.
The National Football Conference (NFC) leads the league with 26 wins to 22 wins for the American Football Conference (AFC) as of Super Bowl 2014.
According to AdAge, exec VP-sales and sales marketing, NBC Sports Group and NBC Universal News Group, Seth Winter, said that about a dozen new advertisers will be in digital commerce and technology.
Coca-Cola and GoDaddy are returning but running one commercial instead of the two from 2014.
As of January 21, only two full Super Bowl 2015 ads are on YouTube so far: Dove and two Victorias Secret ("Victorial Secret I'm in the Mood for Love" by Wall Street Journal and "Angels Play Football" both on YouTube), GoDaddy on WSJ.com and many others. See below:

Spectacular, Super Bowl 2014 Doritos ads
