    Here are some fun facts (well, they were fun for ME to read anyway...)

    SB XLI ticket distribution:
    AFC Champion - 17.5 percent
    NFC Champion - 17.5 percent
    Host Team (Dolphins) - 5.0 percent
    Other 29 Teams - 34.8 percent
    NFL - 25.2 percent

    Site: Dolphin Stadium - Miami Gardens, Fla.

    Date: Feb. 4, 2007

    Game time: 6 p.m. EST

    Cost of the Vince Lombardi Trophy: $25,000

    Who makes Super Bowl Trophy: Tiffany & Co. of New York.

    Cost of Super Bowl rings: League pays for up to 150 rings at $5,000 per ring (plus adjustments for increases in gold and diamonds). League also pays for 150 pieces of jewelry for the losing team, which may not cost more than one-half the price set for the Super Bowl ring.

    Host city economic impact: Super Bowl XL generated a total economic impact in Detroit of $261 million, according to a study commissioned by Detroit Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau.

    TV/Radio coverage: CBS will be televising its 15th Super Bowl. CBS Radio-Westwood One will be broadcasting its 20th consecutive Super Bowl, 33nd overall

    Super Bowl XL TV audience: Last year's game was watched by 141.4 million viewers.

    The 10 most-watched programs in TV history are all Super Bowls.
