Getting ready for Super Bowl

For some, Super Bowl Sunday is treated as a holiday, friends gather, music blares, and a ton of food and drink are consumed.

Pizza Pizza is getting ready. They are expecting 100 orders a minute during the game.

Billions of dollars will be spent and earned by football fans, advertising agencies, and fast food companies this weekend in the biggest annual sporting event in North America.

A Grammy award-winning singer and a world famous soprano may not seem to have much in common, but they’ll be entertaining 100 million people at Super Bowl XLVIII on Sunday. It will be the first in an open-air cold weather stadium, and the first national anthem to be sung by an opera singer, Renee Fleming.

There will be halftime performances from Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Mars began outdoor practices earlier this week.

Halftime sponsor Pepsi started marketing the event a month ago. And as the weather improves, so are ticket ticket sales. Ticket prices are averaging about $2800.

More than $100 million dollars are expected to be bet on the game. But would you trust a bear to make your Super Bowl pick? Workers at the Working Wildlife ranch in California put a 3,140 kilogram kodiak brown bear to the test.

Tag was offered a omelet, to represent the Denver Broncos, and a pie with Washington state apples to represent the Seattle Seahawks. It didn’t take long for Tag to pass on the omelet, and go for the apple pie.

So either the Seahawks will win — or this bear just loves apple pie.
