yes dreams do come to

Tixx.com can confirm that the NFL has signed Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime show in Tampa Fl. Feb 1st 2009

So how do we know this is true, well We grew up in Freehold and We know people.

I am sure a smile is on Jim Steeg's face he tried to get Bruce to play the SUper Bowl for the last 20 years!

So it is no surprise that Super Bowl XLIII advertisinf rates are thru the roof

NBC is selling Super Bowl spots in next year's game for $3 million per 30-second unit, sources familiar with the situation said. That's about 11 percent higher than the average $2.7 million that Fox commanded for this year's game.

While Fox sources indicated it received $3 million for one or two spots late in the selling process leading up to the February 2008 telecast, NBC has just begun selling units (outside of multiyear packages) and could achieve close to an average of $3 million per unit. So far, 30 percent of the inventory in the 2009 game has been sold, mostly in multiyear deals struck earlier, with clients such as Anheuser-Busch, which purchases time in the game years in advance. And it buys close to 10 spots per game so its prices are lower per unit than sponsors buying one or two ads.

"Right now $3 million is the benchmark," for individual units, said a source familiar with the numbers.
