Super Bowl XLI

On February 4, 2007, South Florida will host its ninth Super Bowl as the AFC champions take on the NFC champions for the right to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy as National Football League World Champions. For the AFC, the New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens, Indianapolis Colts, and San Diego Chargers are the front-runners. For the NFC, the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears, New Orleans Saints, and Seattle Seahawks all hope to make the big game.

Super Bowl XXXIII was played in Miami in 1999, with Denver winning its second consecutive Championship under quarterback John Elway (game MVP) by defeating the Atlanta Falcons 34-19. The Denver Broncos smothered the Falcons with a strong defensive effort led by Trevor Price and Ray Crockett to hand former Bronco head coach Dan Reeves the loss.

Super Bowl XLI will be played at Dolphin Stadium, a venue that has undergone several major renovations and name changes. Originally called Joe Robbie Stadium when it opened in 1987, the building has also been named Pro Player Stadium (1996) and Dolphins Stadium (2005). With the addition of the two biggest high definition video boards in professional sports and a state-of-the-art LED fascia ribbon board in April of 2006, Dolphin Stadium once again changed its name. Home to the Major League Baseball Florida Marlins and NFL Miami Dolphins, the building is considered one of the most modern stadiums in the world.
