Super Bowl media day is moved from Tuesday afternoon to Monday night
The NFL released big news about Super Bowl 50 on Tuesday.
Actually, it’s not really about the Super Bowl but about that major sporting event’s media day.
Only it’s no longer media day; it’s now media night.
Except it’s not going to be called media night; its official name is now “Super Bowl Opening Night Fueled by Gatorade.”
And that’s the big news.
But don’t worry. Other than the change from it’s traditional Tuesday afternoon slot to the Monday night prime time, the wild and wacky event we’ve all grown to know and love (except for those of us who don’t) doesn’t sound like it’s going to change all that much.
“We are excited to enhance an annual event and provide a unique experience for more fans in both the San Francisco Bay Area and nationwide, while continuing to provide access to the Super Bowl teams for media from around the world,” the NFL’s senior vice president of events, Peter O’Reilly, said in a statement. “By elevating the event to prime time, fans across the country can experience even more of the excitement of Super Bowl leading up to the game.”
Tickets for “SBONFBG” will be less than $30.
