Super Bowl XLVIII

Foo Fighters, The Roots and Imagine Dragons will perform on a cruise ship docked in lower Manhattan ahead of the Super Bowl

Super Bowl XLVIII is scheduled to launch with a 6:30 p.m. kickoff on Feb. 2 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, and as long as the weather isn't absolutely horrible, that plan should remain intact.

The two best teams in the National Football League aren't the only ones battling for Super Bowl supremacy this winter. The big game at Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford has also spurred a war among states - New Jersey vs. New York.

Bruno Mars moves from the MetLife Stadium parking lot to the 50-yard-line as The NFL that the 14-time Grammy nominee  will be the half time entertainment at Super Bowl XLVIII.

Governor Chris Christie is a Dallas Cowboys fan but in an interview on the NFL Network he points out that the Giants and Jets play in New Jersey yet continue to call themselves "New York."

The Super Bowl XLVIII halftime show for the game at MetLife Stadium will not have a New Jersey or New York theme as Bruno Mars has reportedly been selected to perform.

The Farmers' Almanac is using words like "piercing cold," ''bitterly cold" and "biting cold" to describe the upcoming winter. And if its predictions are right, the first outdoor Super Bowl in years will be a messy "Storm Bowl."

Skies over MetLife Stadium a focus for Super Bowl  While one burning question looms over the run-up to Super Bowl XLVIII — Will it snow? — at least as much attention is being focused behind the scenes on how to safely and efficiently move tens of thousands of people in and around MetLife Stadium.
