Football is back, and at least for a couple of weeks fans of all teams can keep that Super Bowl dream alive (OK, maybe not all teams, but you know what I’m saying). Whether you see your favorite team making it all the way to February or not, you can still be a part of it. This year’s Super Bowl is on February 7, 2010 in Miami. Next season, the big game comes to the new home of the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, TX on February 6, 2011. Even if you never get to wear the ring, you can still go to the game and take part in the week of festivities.
