Dramamama, you're right in that this is a big social event. There are always lots of people who may not be into football, but do love the Super Bowl for other reasons, be it the commercials or the half time show or just the parties.
I personally love football, however, I hate the Giants and the Patriots with a passion. That is why I was thinking that this might be a good chance to see a show since the theatres would be less crowded.
