It’s Steelers vs Packers Showdown at Super Bowl XLV

The highly awaited Super Bowl XLV is about to happen in less than one week. The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers are now preparing for their final matchup. Both teams are ready to fight for the famous Vince Lombardi trophy.

This will be the first time that the Super Bowl will be held in the Dallas–Fort Worth area; the third time it will be held in Texas (Houston was the host city to Super Bowls VIII and XXXVIII); and, the fifth time the same city hosting the Super Bowl also hosted a World Series game the preceding autumn. Kickoff time is approximately 6:25pm EST.
