Having a thing for weird stats and stuff, this was right up my alley, a few highlights:

  • $10 billion: to be gambled on Super Bowl XLVI internationally, expected to be the most bet-upon game in Super Bowl history, according to ESPN
  • 1.25 billion: chicken wings eaten Super Bowl weekend
  • 111 million: last year’s average U.S. TV audience, the largest in U.S. TV history. It could hit 113 million viewers this year, according to an unscientific poll by MediaLife
  • $3.5 million: for a 30-second ad, on average, up from $3 million last year
  • 47%: of Super Bowl viewers will check their smartphones up to 10 times or more during the game, according to a survey by Velti.
