TRIVIA

With this game, the Miami area will tie New Orleans, Louisiana as the city to host the most Super Bowls (9). Miami will then break the record when it holds its tenth Super Bowl, Super Bowl XLIV , in 2010.

This will be the first Super Bowl aired on CBS since the Janet Jackson Incident three years earlier, in Super Bowl XXXVIII ; and the first since the Viacom/CBS split at the end of 2005.

This will be the first Super Bowl announced by Jim Nantz . Nantz will join Greg Gumbel as the only men to both serve as a Super Bowl Play-by-play Announcer and as the host of both the pre-/post-game show. For CBS' coverage of Super Bowl XXXVIII , Gumbel did the play-by-play while Nantz was the pre-/post-game show host. Nantz will also join Curt Gowdy and Dick Enberg as the only play-by-play announcers to ever call both a Super Bowl and a NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Game .
