Super Bowl XL – 2006 – Detroit – Unforgettable after 20 Years

It seems impossible that twenty years have passed since Detroit hosted Super Bowl XL. The mayor was Kilpatrick,the governor was Granholm, and Ford Field was three years old. Detroit rolled out the red carpet and showcased world-class hospitality. Pre-game music with Dr. John, India Arie, John Legend, Aretha Franklin, Joss Stone, and Stevie Wonder. The halftime show, featuring Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones was epic. The pregame show was dominated by Detroit “Motown” talent, and the halftime show featured British talent.

The Steelers defeated the Seahawks 21 – 10. The game was outstanding, with the stands heavily salted with the “Terrible Towels” of the Steelers. The outcome saw Mackenzie High School’s Jerome Bettis, aka THE BUS, earn a RING. Super Bowl XVI at the Silver Dome in 1982 proved that a city in the North could host a comfortable venue for the game. Super Bowl XL in 2006 let Detroit shine, display its talent, architecture, downtown, and culture. Roger Penske chaired the host committee, and the rest is history.

Super Bowl LX is Sunday, February 8. Kickoff 6:30 p.m. Seattle Seahawks vs. New England Patriots in San Francisco, California.

Parece imposible que hayan pasado veinte años desde que Detroit fue sede del Super Bowl XL. El alcalde era Kilpatrick, la gobernadora era Granholm, y Ford Field tenía apenas tres años. Detroit desplegó la alfombra roja y ofreció una hospitalidad de clase mundial. Música antes del partido con Dr. John, India Arie, John Legend, Aretha Franklin, Joss Stone y Stevie Wonder. El show de medio tiempo, con Mick Jagger y los Rolling Stones, fue épico. El espectáculo previo al partido estuvo dominado por talento local de Detroit “Motown”, mientras que el show de medio tiempo destacó talento británico.

Los Steelers derrotaron a los Seahawks 21-10. El juego fue sobresaliente, con las gradas salpicadas de los famosos “Terrible Towels” de los Steelers. El resultado permitió que Jerome Bettis de Mackenzie High School, conocido como THE BUS, se ganara un ANILLO. El Super Bowl XVI en el Silver Dome en 1982 demostró que una ciudad del Norte podía albergar un juego con comodidad. El Super Bowl XL en 2006 dejó que Detroit brillara, mostrando su talento, arquitectura, centro de la ciudad y cultura. Roger Penske presidió el comité anfitrión, y el resto es historia.

El Super Bowl LX será el domingo 8 de febrero, con kickoff a las 6:30 p.m. Seattle Seahawks contra New England Patriots en San Francisco, California.
