I think you are confused about the year this game will be played. Super Bowl XLV will be played on February 6, 2011, which is in fact a Sunday. The game played on February 7, 2010 between the Saints and the Colts is on the Super Bowl XLIV article. Zzyzx11 (talk) 03:28, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

The article states: "In the Super Bowl game itself, the Packers led from start to finish." This is not possible, because both teams' scores are zero at the start of the game.

Edit request from 129.112.109.252, 14 January 2011

{{edit semi-protected}} In the article on Super Bowl XLV, the following sentence appears with a grammatical error:

Each team's flagship station will also carry their own play-by-play.

The correct sentence should be

Each team's flagship station will also carry its own play-by-play.

You can easily see that EACH will carry its own. "Each" takes a singular possessive.

Thanks!

Banned commercials really needed?

I would love to just excise this right out; the entire point of these folks submitting ads to Fox is to crow they got rejected and get attention they don't deserve. Anyone else agree? Nate • (chatter) 23:45, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

I've removed the ads concerning adultery and "Jesus Hates Obama" twice now. They are clearly attention-getting ads, and do not deserve to be here. AmericanLeMans (talk) 05:07, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
Normally I would agree. However, I (the person who put those there) cited outside sources who found them notable enough to report on them, extending them beyond spam. See, for instance, the ManCrunch controversy last year. This, in fact, is Ashley Madison's second rejected attempt at airing a Super Bowl ad. Attention seeking or not, someone found it notable enough to give the ad attention. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 14:43, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
What about moving the information to Super Bowl advertising. This article should be primarily about the game itself, and the build up to it. The information on the advertising may belong at Wikipedia, it may be just not appropriate for this article. --Jayron32 16:36, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
I'm no expert, but this makes sense to me. Putting ads (and even more so banned ads) with the information on the Super Bowl itself is ridiculous. It's like listing every commercial that runs during the original airing of a TV episode. Encyclopedias are meant to summarize and paraphrase, not keep records. If we're going to start keeping records, we should hire a couple hundred full time typists to transcribe the news broadcast word-for-word. Also, it is worth mentioning that most people will be either looking for this information specifically (such as those who submitted ads, advertising companies, etc.), in which case they will probably be smart enough to take the suggestion under their search bar that says "Super Bowl advertising"; or they will be uninterested and will not care at all. Because of this, it is in the interest of the vast majority of both groups of readers for the information to be placed elsewhere, under a more specific interest. Finally, it is logical to assume, in our new, digital era, and especially with the recent explosion of streaming; that the Super Bowl will eventually be available for purchase without commercials through the streaming channel of a sports network (especially given that it was a very exciting Super Bowl). In ten years, most people will have no memory and less interest in which commercials were run (not to mention not run) during the original airing of the Super Bowl XLV. Thus, such information is totally irrelevant to this article's quality and completeness and should be moved to a more specific article. If someone wants to create a list of whatever they think is relevant to the advertising, they can do so in a separate article and link to it. Don't clutter up the article with useless information. The commercials are as relevant to the actual super bowl as the type of camera they used for each shot and the type of equipment each player wore. Such topics are specific enough to warrant separate articles when viewed in the context of the larger whole. Start by asking yourself "Would this be relevant or even interesting if I was researching the Super Bowl XLV?" If your answer is "No, but it would be if I was researching __________, which is related to the Super Bowl XLV.", then put it under _______, not Super Bowl XLV. All that to say, ads aren't part of the game, they're part of the show. Remember, the super bowl is not just on FOX. It is also a real event. People who attended the Super Bowl did not see commercials. Therefore, people researching the Super Bowl should not see them either.Bronsonboy (talk) 21:51, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from 99.189.8.6, 24 January 2011

{{edit semi-protected}} The correct wording should read Fort Worth/Dallas area, Arlington is a suburb of Fort Worth in Tarrant county, the reading of such Dallas-Fort Worth area would suggest it was a suburb of that or closer to Dallas or in the Dallas County area, which it is not 99.189.8.6 (talk) 02:05, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes, but that area is usually referred to as the Dallas-Fort Worth area. 24.3.160.113 (talk) 03:07, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Also, Arlington is not a suburb of Fort Worth (or of Dallas.) (66.235.10.209 (talk) 07:09, 26 January 2011 (UTC))

The only reliable source to consistently refer to the Metroplex as Fort Worth/Dallas is the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, an affectation of local bias rather than the way anybody outside of Tarrant County refers to the area. Arlington, the 49th largest city in the United States, is not a proper suburb but rather the heart of the Mid-Cities between Dallas and Fort Worth. - Dravecky (talk) 07:23, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Score formatting in the infobox

Until the game takes place, should the line score be blank, or should it have zeroes in all four quarters? Nhdrumline11 (talk) 16:41, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

I think the zeros are defaulted into the template. Maybe dashes would be better though. ONION96 (talk) 16:56, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
I'm not sure it matters all that much. Debating miniscule differences for an article which will change dramatically in two weeks makes little difference. If there are dashes, zeroes, or spaces seems a rather small thing to fret over. This is a Color of the bikeshed issue. --Jayron32 16:59, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Preshow

Obama is doing an interview with Bill O Riley, this should be noted somewhere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cooly123 (talk • contribs)

Not necessarily. The interview is only being televised by FOX. It is not officially part of the NFL or the Super Bowl pre-game entertainment. CBS did the same thing last year, televising an interview between Obama and Katie Couric on Super Bowl Sunday, but that is also not mentioned on the Super Bowl XLIV article either.

Please Slow/Stop the Contant Editing Traits.

We all know everyone's excited for the game, but for the good of the article & it's viewers it's best to stop/slow down the editing of the article. The article receives 8-13 edits daily, which is way too much and it also affects the viewer's observation of the article.

Sorry, that is not how Wikipedia works. Under normal conditions, it is meant to be updated at any instant, around the clock, to help ensure that articles stay abreast of the most recent events. It is not a paper encyclopedia that stays the same until "the next edition". And in most cases, articles relating to current events change very rapidly as the event progresses – usually several hundred edits within a couple of hours. Cheers.

Weather Prior to Game

I know it is not a major issue in regards to the game itself, but I think we need a full section on the weather and power issues that existed prior to the Super Bowl.

Factoid, and question

I'm not sure how significant it is, but I've seen factoids of lesser significance on Super Bowl articles - This is the first Super Bowl in 10 years (the last was the Ravens' win in SB XXXV) to never have a lead change. Green Bay never trailed in the game. Perhaps it should be mentioned in the recap or scoring summary area?

Does this need editing?

"In the Super Bowl game itself, the Packers led from start to finish." This might be what is commonly said, but it is technically incorrect. At the start of any game, the teams are always level.

Market share error

It's Green Bay not Milwaukee.

That is actually correct; Milwaukee is often used because it is the larger market among the two and the ratings for Green Bay are always abnormally high for any Packers broadcast (often in the 75-90% range) because of both a smaller sample size and the fact Green Bay is only rated mainly in sweeps months via paper diaries. As Milwaukee is a Nielsen Peoplemeter market with overnight measurements nightly, that rating is usually used for Wisconsin measurements. Nate • (chatter) 07:41, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

This was widely talked about ad nausea via Fox Sports, ESPN, Dan Patrick and Jim Rome shows respectively... etc. It's just one of those nice little pieces of info that goes well with sports articles. tyvm Pudge MclameO (talk) 23:28, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Improvd logo?

Could a better logo be found for the game?--Cooly123 02:52, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

What exactly is the issue with the current one? Grsz 11 03:12, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

The proper logo has the image of Cowboys Stadium behind the Lombardi Trohpy. See the XLVI logo with the Lucas Oil Stadium behind the logo.--Arkbear 05:28, 7 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arkbear (talk • contribs)

Jets vs Packers?

First of all the score's wrong, second of all it says the Jets played in the game, third it has the Packers losing. WTF? 3.15.11 11:58 PM GMT-6 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.26.130.184 (talk) 04:58, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Um, I'm not sure where you're looking, but (1) the score is right, (2) I don't see it say the Jets played in the game, and (3) it says the Packers won. – Muboshgu (talk) 12:47, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
It was this bit of IP vandalism that was quickly reverted. - Dravecky (talk) 10:52, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Interceptions for Touchdowns

The phrase "the eighth such score in the last ten Super Bowls" could be slightly misleading, as three happened in one game back in Super bowl 37. Perhaps reword to state the number of games that it has happened. 188.221.79.22 (talk) 10:46, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Participants in the Pro Football Hall of Fame

Should Tony Dungy be removed as a future Hall of Famer in the Super Bowl XIII article? He was inducted as a coach, but he played in that game. Fbdave (talk) 20:41, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
