Superbowl XLIII Sunday 2009 is February 1st and will be played in Tampa Bay.
It is scheduled to be played February 1 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

The Super Bowl has been going on for about 43 years now. In 2009, the Super Bowl will be marked as SuperBowl XLIII. I don’t know really why they use roman numerals, isn’t it a bit funny? Unquestionably, SuperBowl is the biggest sporting event in the United States, advertisers pay enormous amount of dollars to air their ads during half-time. So, you can safely say this is an event where media planners don’t have to try hard. However, when the industrial chips are down, it will be interesting to see if Super Bowl space sellers can maintain or up its airtime price (even 2008 rates look great now).
