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
- You're right. I have a book here which gives precis of every game from I-XVII. I was planning to add info to them to make them more like Super Bowl IX. Not massively informative, but at least a little like an article. Work the headings into the text, and we'll be onto something. You're right about the headers too. I toned them down from

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:
- Super Bowl IX, between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Minnesota Vikings, was held on January 12, 1975 in Tulane Stadium in New Orleans. Pittsburgh beat Minnesota 16 to 6 in front of 80,997 spectators.
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
- Ooh, thats pretty... I like the look of that a lot. I think thats better than the boilerplate text above.
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?
- Definitely, but its not in my reference :( I was going to add them later, when I found a list -- User:GWO
Also the colour of the table may be a little more cheerful, maybe there's a typical super bowl colour? Jeronimo
- Don't know, I'm not American either ... -- User:GWO
[edit] Entertainment info question
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 preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.215.255.161 (talk • contribs) .
[edit] Position names
In the Starting Lineups table, could we see the full position names, rather than abbreviations? -Freekee 02:50, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
