They are hugely popular, but I think a lot of the popularity of it is due to the fact that they are the only big game in town. When the team is doing well this city is in a frenzy over them and there was a period when they were good for about 10 years that you couldn't get ticket to see them play.

ya the USA has 4 main sports.. Football, Baseball, Basketball and Nascar.. I agree the super bowl is prolly our most watched sporting event but not cause of the sport but it's the biggest party event of the year even for non football fans..
Sucks for the Canadians for sure but I'm from USA and I loved that hockey game last night.. Made me wanna go see the Coyotes play after the break.
