Superbowl by the Numbers

Interesting rundown by Treehugger on the who, where, and what of the Superbowl.

A few of my faves...

• 194 million: Approximate number of blades of grass on the football field.
• 1: Number of languages in which the word "football" doesn't mean "soccer."
• 222,792: Number of football fields worth of farmland to grow all the corn, potatoes, and avocados that will be consumed watching the game.
• $5.6 billion: Amount consumers will spend on Super Bowl related items.
• 40%: Percent of Super Bowl viewers who are not football fans.
• 10 million: Number of man-hours spent preparing food for the Super Bowl party.
• 10 million: Number of man-hours spent making the movie Avatar.

But the best stat of all...the game action is only 11 minutes.
