Last night, two football games in two separate cities determined which NFL teams would be facing off in Super Bowl XLVII. mapsales.com looks at what’s in store, and what’s at stake in this year’s Super Bowl.
Take a look at a New Orleans wall map and locate highways 10 and 90. Where they meet, you’ll find the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, the site of this year’s Super Bowl. After an exciting football Sunday, the stage is set for the San Francisco 49ers to take on the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl XLVII, which takes place February 3 (less than 2 weeks from today!)
Yesterday, we saw the 49ers beat the Atlanta Falcons in a game that had many fans tensely on the edge of their seats until the last minute. The final score was 28-24. In Massachusetts, Ray Lewis and the Ravens beat Tom Brady’s New England Patriots 28-13. For the 49ers, this will be their 6th appearance at the Super Bowl, and the 2nd for the Ravens. With 16-year veteran linebacker Ray Lewis set to retire after this season, winning another Super Bowl title would be the ultimate going away present for him and his Baltimore Ravens.
This year’s big game will be one for the history books, with brothers/head coaches John and Jim Harbaugh facing off against each other. The game is already being dubbed the ‘Harbaugh Bowl’.
New Orleans will be hosting the Super Bowl for the 10th time. The city has adjusted its Mardi Gras schedule to coincide with the planning and organization of the NFL championship event. Normally a consecutive 12-day celebration, Mardi Gras will take a bit of a break during the week of the Super Bowl. Typically, Mardi Gras parades take place all over the city, but most notably in the Central Business District and the French Quarter. View zoom-able New Orleans wall maps to find these areas and visualize parade routes.
With a national anthem sung by Alicia Keys, and Beyonce set to tackle the half-time show, this year’s Super Bowl is sure to be a memorable one. If you are thinking of purchasing Super Bowl tickets (which carry the small price tag of about $2,000 a ticket), try looking at a New Orleans wall map to find great places to visit and incredible sights to see while you’re in the area. Enjoy Super Bowl Sunday!
