Super Bowl 45 is Tomorrow!

Get excited everyone, for the greatest sporting even of the year is tomorrow, the Super Bowl! By now, you probably know all about the two teams, the Steelers and the Packers(!), who are playing from Click Attack and Sports Fans Unite, who have been bringing you many Super Bowl facts for about three weeks now, so we don't need to tell you anymore of that stuff. So, what can we bring you. Well, we an bring you a lot of Super Bowl merchandise, as seen below.

           


























And, even though you probably don't need it, we bring you a collection of facts from Click Attack and Sports Fans Unite!


Steelers: Founded on July 8, 1933 by Arthur Joseph Rooney.
Are the 5th oldest franchise in the NFL.
Were originally called the Pittsburgh Pirates (renamed in 1940).
In 1964, the Steelers made team history by retiring jersey No. 70 which belonged to Ernie Stautner.
Ernie Stautner remains the only player of the team to have his jersey retired.
The Steelers were the first NFL franchise to capture six Super Bowl titles (played seven Super Bowls in total).
In 2009, Mike Tomlin became the youngest coach to win a Super Bowl in NFL history.

Packers: Founded on August 11, 1919 by Curly Lambeau and George Calhoun.
Are the 2nd oldest franchise in the NFL.
Have won more league championships than any other team in the NFL.
Packers games at Lambeau Field have been sold out since 1960.
In 2007, a Packers fan received his season ticket after being on the waiting list for 37 years.
The average waiting time now for a Packers season ticket is over 100 years.
Five jerseys have been retired; No. 14 in 1951, No. 3 in 1952, No. 15 in 1973, No. 66 in 1983 and No. 92 in 2005.

Seelers: The only team that has been to the Super Bowl more than the Steelers have been the Dallas Cowboys. They've been to the Super Bowl eight times, but the Steelers will tie that number on Sunday.

Packers: The Packers have only won three Super Bowls, but they won twelve NFL World Championships before the Super Bowl existed.

So, be sure to watch the Super Bowl tomorrow, it bound to be amazing!
Go, Pack, Go!
