Super Bowl

The contest where history is made, the Super Bowl stands at the pinnacle of American Football as the event that defines all events. Many of the most famous events in football history happened with the Super Bowl championship at stake. In 2000, the nation was on the edge of its seat as the Tennessee Titans lost the game by a single yard. Super Bowl XXXIV saw Kevin Dyson, playing for the Titans, reached the one-yard line before being tackled. With no time left on the clock and the score at 23-16, three more feet could have meant overtime and a shot at the victory. But for every heartbreaking moment like that, there is an uplifting story to keep fans coming back. Most people who lived through the 1980s remember Joe Montana uttering those famous words, "I'm going to Disneyland!" In fact, it became a pop culture reference all its own, demonstrating the sort of presence the Super Bowl has in the minds of Americans.

It crosses over boundaries, even capturing the minds of those who normally do not watch sporting events. The commercials of the Super Bowl have become so famously clever that many watch just for them. It's a place where history is made every year, and a place for everyone to contribute their own history. Marriage proposals and the like are not strangers to the Super Bowl, just be sure not to drop the ring. Visiting the Super Bowl can be an event you will remember for the rest of your life, don't pass it up if you have the chance.
