The 43rd Superbowl is shaping up to be a large event in Australia. With Sav Rocca and Ben Graham playing off for a place in the Superbowl on Sunday, the NFL executives must be rubbing their hands in glee at the exposure their game is getting in Australia.
The whole of Australia is getting on board it seems, with news site such as The Australian, The Age, and Foxsports all producing articles for the occasion.
The newspapers aren’t the only ones getting on board, with Anthony Rocca (Savs brother) looking to book a ticket to the Superbowl if Eagles make it.
The AFL is sending over three executives to attend the match in order to gain important information about how one of the world’s largest annual sporting events is run.
The Australian public is gaining interest in the sport, with the general vibe about the Superbowl being much more positive than last year. More people seem to be placing the Superbowl in their diary each year.
And as a hint to people staying at home this Superbowl, don’t. SBS is not the station you want to watch this historic event on.
The ratings for Superbowl 43 should be very interesting.
