In the United States, Super Bowl XLVII will be broadcast nationally on CBS. Here is a list of CBS affiliates organized by state.

This year, The San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens will face each other in the Super Bowl. By now, we all know that Super Bowl XLVII will be the first ever HarBowl – with two brothers (John and Jim Harbaugh) coaching against each other.

The game will be played at Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, the home of the Saints. The city of New Orleans will be bracing itself for its biggest gush of tourists and visitors ever this year, as Mardi Gras falls at the same time.
