Super Bowl Sunday is practically a national holiday here in the US. Whether you are a football fan or not, most people in the US are watching the game. For the non-football fans, it is a great excuse to drink with friends and indulge in some tasty appetizers.
For football fans, it is arguably the biggest sporting event of the year. They might start looking closely at the betting Sports Odds, cheer at their players together at the bar or have a game night at home. Nevertheless, it is a huge day for the advertising industry. We all have that one friend that loves the advertisements more than the game itself. But, there is also a ton of advertising that goes on before the game even starts.
