Well obviously the vast majority of people don't agree with you

US Viewers of the most recent championships: Last year's Super Bowl (since this year's ratings aren't out yet): 113 million viewers NCAA Football Championship 25 million World Series 9.11 million (average per game) Stanley Cup 1.23 million (average per game) NBA Championship Series 11.64 million (average per game) NCAA Men's Basketball Championship 14.7 million NCAA Women's Basketball Championship 1.7 million MLS Championship 823K FA Cup 1.1 million Doubt the NFL will want to change much given the #s.

Anyone else think the Superbowl has become a stale product? First thing
ModerateHokie • 02/12/24 07:56 AM ET
We enjoyed the hell out of it..I ignore halftime and pregame!**
HOKIERIT • 02/12/24 02:58 PM ET
are you a chiefs or 9ers fan? Because although it was a close game, it was
ModerateHokie • 02/12/24 05:07 PM ET
Nope..just a football fan. 1st half was great defense, 2nd half, fireworks**
HOKIERIT • 02/12/24 05:29 PM ET
Like any American holiday, the Super Bowl is only as good as the people you
BG Hokie • 02/12/24 01:09 PM ET
So what you're really saying here is...
vthokieq • 02/12/24 02:45 PM ET
We can't all be so lucky.**
BG Hokie • 02/12/24 03:00 PM ET
It's a really weird beast imho. Like a business convention or something

When stepson was digital marketing director at Rolling Stone he HAD to
DonHo-kieHi • 02/12/24 12:47 PM ET
Yeah, that fits. As I said, I can't put my finger on it exactly but
`lag • 02/12/24 01:42 PM ET
Its got a completely different feel from the rest of the season/playoffs
HokieNoVA • 02/12/24 11:00 AM ET
Anything on a neutral field or court is more stale
Vippie1 • 02/12/24 09:58 AM ET
The corporate crowd is what really kills it for me.
MP4VT2004 • 02/12/24 09:43 AM ET
And there's no reason to change. $7 million for a 30-second commercial.
great2bahokie • 02/12/24 09:27 AM ET
They SELL the spots every year. That is reason enough to charge that much**
HOKIERIT • 02/12/24 03:00 PM ET
Sort of like just having some former athletes in beer commercials...
EDGEMAN • 02/12/24 09:49 AM ET
yup I'm sure the NFL will take this feedback, fully consider changes, and
ME Hokie 07 • 02/12/24 09:40 AM ET
the halftime show is like when a band opens for SNL- or used to -
bigbadbird • 02/12/24 08:52 AM ET
Agree, but I don't recall the halftime show ever being good.
HokieNoVA • 02/12/24 08:37 AM ET
I'm sorry but I have seen some Halftime shows that were legendary.
Naelbis • 02/12/24 04:29 PM ET
Stanley Cup far superior**
Happy Dog • 02/12/24 08:32 AM ET
It's the most generic championship game out there.
KfgsHokie • 02/12/24 08:11 AM ET
Maybe it's you that's changed.
vthokieq • 02/12/24 08:13 AM ET
My general rule of thumb
Beerman • 02/12/24 12:10 PM ET
I am definitely a grumpy old man.
KfgsHokie • 02/12/24 08:42 AM ET
Well...
Vtskier1 • 02/12/24 09:32 AM ET
If I had to venture a guess what he would say...
EDGEMAN • 02/12/24 09:51 AM ET
C'mon man. You know the SB follows a formula that hasn't changed in decades
ModerateHokie • 02/12/24 08:16 AM ET
Well obviously the vast majority of people don't agree with you ◄
SteveInBaltimore • 02/12/24 12:58 PM ET
Not really the point**
ModerateHokie • 02/12/24 05:09 PM ET
well, in fairness, one is an American holiday that men, women, and children
BG Hokie • 02/12/24 03:05 PM ET
Because you're becoming a grumpy old man. ;-)**
