Super Bowl XLIII, Tampa, Florida.
Feb. 1, 2009
Super Bowl XLIII will be played Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, the second Super Bowl at this venue and the fourth overall in that city. Tampa was selected for the game site on May 25, 2005, beating out three other finalists: Atlanta, Georgia; Houston, Texas; and Miami, Florida.
The game will be televised on NBC, its first Super Bowl broadcast since Super Bowl XXXII, with play-by-play announcer Al Michaels and color commentator John Madden. Super Bowl XLIII will also be the final Super Bowl, and penultimate major sporting event (Fox Sports' Daytona 500 coverage on February 15 will be the last) to be telecast in the United States in the analog television format. As of February 17 of that year, all television stations must cease analog broadcasts. Additionally, a 30-second advertisement will cost $3 million (US), a record for a television program.
The NFL was exploring the possibility of moving the Pro Bowl to the host site of the Super Bowl, and holding it the weekend before the Super Bowl starting in 2009, however, the league has decided to keep the game in Aiea, Hawaii, a suburb of Honolulu.
The Super Bowl is the final contest of the NFL professional football season and determines the league's annual champion. Currently the Super Bowl routinely finishes among the all-time top 50 programs in television ratings, and the 2007 game was no exception, garnering the third largest American TV audience in history, some 93.1 million viewers.
Super Bowl XLIII will be the 43rd Super Bowl, the annual championship game of the NFL between the National Football Conference (NFC) and American Football Conference (AFC) champions.
For the top two teams in the league, the long and grueling road ends here, in Glendale, Arizona.

Arizona Cardinals
The big game is finally here and on February 1st in Tampa Bay, Superbowl XLIII goes down. It is a match up between the Cinderella Arizona Cardinals led by the ageless Kurt Warner versus the storied Pittsburgh Steelers who behind a top rated defense are looking for their second championship in 4 years.
Not alot of people thought the Cards could get it done seeing as how they slacked off at the end of the regular season and acted like just making the playoffs was enough of an accomplishment. All of those doubts have been wiped away as the Cards went a run these past 3 weeks being the underdog in every matchup including 2 home games. The ageless wonder Kurt Warner has proven that he can lead this team to victory as he did with the Rams and with Fitzgerald and Boldin as his main targets I expect to see some big numbers put up. Tim Hightower and Edge James will most likely split carries which seems to be working for them, but they will be facing one of the toughest D lines in the league so if they don’t step it up (which I don’t think they will) then Warner is going to have to shoulder the burden and get it done in the air.

Super Bowl XLIII Results
Steelers take sixth Super Bowl title
First they tried to give it away. Then they took it back. They put the "steal" in Steelers.
Super Bowl XLIII, like the one that preceded it, came down to the final minute and to a winning touchdown pass. Ben Roethlisberger delivered it, Santonio Holmes caught it from 6 yards out while keeping both feet inside the white lines, and the Steelers, with a 27-23 victory against the Arizona Cardinals, won a record sixth Super Bowl.
Holmes' reception, with 35 seconds remaining, saved the Steelers from the ignominy of allowing the biggest comeback in this game's history. They led 20-7 before their vaunted defense, ranked No. 1 in the NFL, began to wilt in the face of a no-huddle assault by Kurt Warner, the 37-year-old reclamation project who had willed the Cardinals to their first NFL title game since 1948.
The Steelers won it with grit and they won it by coming back and they overcame a safety and the shredding of that proud defense by Warner for 377 yards. But they won it.

Giants couldn't be stopped
Super Bowl XLIII, Sunday Feb 3rd 2008. Glendale Arizona
New York Giants 17, New England Patriots 14
The underdog New York Giants stunned the unbeaten New England Patriots, 17-14, winning Super Bowl XLIII before 71,101 fans at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, authoring one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history.
It was exactly what the league needed in the wake of more Patriots controversy.
"We shocked the world," Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce said. "But not ourselves."
While the Patriots arrived as 12-point favorites, the Giants proved that defense wins championships. They smothered New England's record-setting offense. They harassed quarterback Tom Brady, who lost his first Super Bowl in four attempts. In the end, they handed the decorated Patriots a dose of their own big-game medicine, producing a championship-winning drive in the waning moments of a pressure-packed contest.
