The Super Bowl by the numbersWhen it comes to televisions, we know a thing or two. And what we know about TV this week is that everyone’s will be on this coming Sunday. That’s because it’s that special time of year, when families gather and friends unite… to watch football! And if you’ll be watching the Seahawks and the Patriots this year, you’re in good company. This ever-popular day of the year is monumental for sports fans, fast food restaurants, advertisers and consumers alike. Think you know all about the big game? Here’s the Super Bowl by the numbers.

  • $9.17 billion: This is the total revenue brought in by all National Football League Teams. That’s a lot of dough.
  • $111.1 million: This is the total viewership of the Super Bowl on television. With an audience that size, you can see why advertisers spend some big bucks on game day.
  • $12.37 million: That’s how much consumers will spend on Super Bowl-related goods and services. Think that includes that new flat-screen TV? Maybe so.
  • $118: That’s how much the average host spends on their at-home Super Bowl party. Guess the cost of chips and dip went up.
  • 1.23 billion: That’s the number of chicken wings Americans will consume on Super Bowl Sunday. In fact, Super Bowl Sunday is the second biggest day of the year for eating in America (just behind Thanksgiving).
  • 49.2 million: That’s how many cases of beer will be sold for the big game. Guess those Budweiser ads are working.
  • 4,000: That’s how many tons of popcorn will be popped in advance of game day. And you thought popcorn was light!
  • 30 percent: The amount of Americans looking to buy a new TV this year. We think Super Bowl is a pretty good excuse to bite the bullet!

From our living room (and coffee table stocked with guacamole and soda) to yours, happy Super Bowl Sunday! How are you spending yours this year?
