Super Bowl week is finally here and the magnitude has intensified between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers. Will Ray Lewis go out in championship fashion with a second Vince LombardiTrophy or will second-year quarterback Colin Kaepernick steal the show and bring the Bay Area a sixth title? Along with brothers John and Jim Harbaugh coaching against one another, the two have instilled similar football philosophies in their respective teams. Each offense presents a run-first attack and the defenses love to get physical. Due to the nature of this game on both sides, the victor of Super Bowl XLVII will win the battle at the line of scrimmage and execute only one or two big plays. Whether it’s a turnover, clutch catch or key first down, this will be a fun matchup to watch at home with family, at a sports bar with friends, or if you are lucky enough at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, on February 3, 2013 at 6:30 EST (3:30 PST). See below below for some local venues where you can watch the game in Northern California as well as activities taking place Superbowl Weekend.
Super Bowl XLVII is an upcoming American football game between the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Baltimore Ravens and the National Football Conference (NFC) champion San Francisco 49ers to decide the National Football League (NFL) champion for the 2012 season. It will be played at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, on February 3, 2013 at 6:30 EST.
Nicknamed the Harbaugh Bowl, HarBowl, SuperBaugh, and the Brother Bowl,[9] this will be the first Super Bowl featuring opposing head coaching brothers, Baltimore’s John Harbaugh and San Francisco’s Jim Harbaugh, whose clubs previously met in a 2011 Thanksgiving Classic, in which John’s Ravens won, 16–6. The Ravens, after finishing the 2012 regular season with a 10–6 record, are making their second Super Bowl, having previously won Super Bowl XXXV. Ray Lewis, the MVP from that game, returns for this game, which he has said will be his last before his retirement from professional football. The 49ers enter the game seeking their sixth Super Bowl win in team history (and first since Super Bowl XXIX), which would tie the Pittsburgh Steelers with the most Super Bowl wins, after going 5–0 in their previous appearances. San Francisco finished the regular season at 11–4–1. Read more.
