While informative, I think this (and probably the other Super Bowl articles as well, assuming they have the same format) should be more encyclopaedic. There's no real introduction whatsoever to the article. Also, the text in headers should not really be in headers (would look ridiculous with numbering on).Jeronimo
Well, if somebody doesn't want to be upset, he shouldn't contribute to Wikipedia :-)
But seriously, the IX article already looks better. Maybe a header like this would be nice:
Alternatively, we could put the data all in a table, such as:
| Data | |||||
| Stadium | Tulane Stadium | ||||
| City | New Orleans | ||||
| Date | January 12,1975 | ||||
| Attendance | 80,997 | ||||
| Match | |||||
| Pittsburgh Steelers | 16 | 0 | 2 | 7 | 7 |
| Minnesota Vikings | 6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 6 |
The introduction can then be a little shorter. What do you think?Jeronimo
Thanks; I've started using tables a lot now, since they're a good way to present a lot of short facts. If there's other such facts, maybe we can include those as well. Not being an American, I don't know much about this kind of football, but I think the MVP may be worth mentioning?
Also the colour of the table may be a little more cheerful, maybe there's a typical super bowl colour?Jeronimo
While this article lists entertainment provided by the Arizona and U Michigan marching bands, neither band site shows this info.
The UM marching band site says that the first UM band performance at a Superbowl was the seventh bowl, and the Arizona band site says it played in 1987 and 1997.
Neither site mentions 1967.—The precedingunsigned comment was added by205.215.255.161 (talk •contribs) .
this helped alot with my project.
In the Starting Lineups table, could we see the full position names, rather than abbreviations? -Freekee02:50, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
A historical note: The 1st of these NFL-AFL matchups that was a World Championship was the Jets stunning win over the Colts. In the first 2 that term was printed on the tickets but virtually no one aside from Lamar Hunt and his mother thought of those novelty exhibition-type contests (GB-KC, GB-Oak) as being "a step up" from the World Championship games that were GB-Dallas (in Dallas and then in the Ice Bowl). (Lombardi was nervous because it would have been an extreme humiliation to lose to the expansion league.)
A teacher once defined history as "a recreation of the mentality of the past". That's what's missing from all the hype, marketing and propaganda concerning these games. The NFL Titles of Lombardi, Unitas, etc. were not somehow equivalent to today's conference championships anymore than the WS wins of Ruth, DiMaggio and Mantle were equivalent to today's ALCS. It's Ronald McDonald McHistory.
The stadium for the Packers-Chiefs was 1/3 empty and the TV nets didn't even bother saving the tape. They re-used it and taped over the game.

In the standard sidebar you have on all Super Bowl games that lists score, advertising rates, and halftime entertainment, you state that the University of Michigan band performed. Elsewhere in the same article, though, it states that it was Grambling, and not Michigan. I am inclined to believe that the Grambling attribution is the correct one. So, in my first ever attempt to provide input to a Wikipedia article, I added another phrase to an existing sentence, resulting in one that read "At least one source incorrectly lists the University of Michigan Band, and Wikipedia itself repeats that error in its Halftime window in the top right portion of the article". Within four minutes the change was backed out by JojHutton. I am probably not the first updater of a Wikipedia article whose initial experience was soured by his brusque style. Given the level of difficulty I had in my first-time attempt at updating the body of an article, I shudder when I imagine what kind of outcome would come from updating the sidebar.
It was never my expectation that my little change would be a permanent one, but I had hoped it might at least trigger a correction by someone more senior in the Wikipedia community. Is that an unreasonable hope?WoodyMoore (talk)22:22, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
