Prior to the game, ticketholders will be able to check out the new free NFL Gameday Fan Plaza, the NFL’s festival area at Sun Life Stadium that also will be open on Super Bowl Sunday.
NFL Gameday Fan Plaza will feature musical acts, player appearances and autograph opportunities, the largest assortment of NFL merchandise, and refreshments.

The Pro Bowl had been played annually since 1980 at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii the week following the Super Bowl. The Pro Bowl will return to Hawaii for the 2011 and 2012 games. The 2010 Pro Bowl will be the first played prior to the Super Bowl and only the second Pro Bowl played in the same city as the Super Bowl. The Los Angeles Coliseum hosted the first Super Bowl on January 15, 1967 and the Pro Bowl the following week.
LARRY FITZGERALD of the Arizona Cardinals was last year’s Pro Bowl MVP. Fitzgerald caught two touchdown passes, including the go-ahead score with 4:03 remaining, as the NFC rallied to defeat the AFC, 30-21, in front of a sold-out crowd at Aloha Stadium. The Vikings’ ADRIAN PETERSON led the NFC in rushing with 48 yards on 8 carries and one touchdown. ELI (New York Giants) and PEYTON MANNING (Indianapolis Colts) were the first brother quarterbacks to play against each other in the Pro Bowl. Eli completed 8 of 14 passes for 111 yards and one touchdown. Peyton was 12 of 17 for 151 yards and one touchdown. The AFC and NFC squads are each comprised of 42 players with 21 offensive and 17 defensive players plus four specialists. A 43rd “need” player will be chosen by the head coach and must be a cornerback, defensive end, linebacker or long snapper. The coaching staffs of the losing teams in the AFC and NFC Divisional playoffs with the best regular season record will serve as the coaching staffs of the AFC and NFC teams.
FAN PLAZA
The Fan Plaza, a new fan-focused area adjacent to Sun Life Stadium, will be open from Pro Bowl Sunday through Super Bowl XLIV. On Pro Bowl Sunday, the Fan Plaza will be free to the public and open to ticket holders and non-ticket holders. Additional operating hours for the week between the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl XLIV will be announced later.
For the first time, the NFL will host the NFL FLAG National Championship games at Fan Plaza prior to the Pro Bowl. There also will be youth football clinics and other activities at the Plaza throughout the week leading up to Super Bowl XLIV. More than 130,000 girls and boys, ages 5 - 17, will play NFL FLAG this year and 24 teams will compete in the National Tournament of Champions that will be played in the South Florida region.
On Super Bowl Sunday, Fan Plaza will be open only to Super Bowl ticket holders.
