Now, whether you're looking to impress the sports nerds in the room with a few of your own facts, or you're simply a true connoisseur of arguably useless knowledge, here's some fun trivia about Super Bowl 2013. 

Super Bowl Facts

  • This year, a 30-second commercial costs $4 million, up from 3.5 million last year and $42,000 in 1967, according to Time.
  • Football fans are anticipated to consume an estimated 79 million pounds of Hass avocados during Big Game gatherings this year, according to the Hass Avocado Board.
  • If you still think the 1983 season finale of M*A*S*H was the most-watched broadcast in the U.S., think again.

That record was broken again last year when 111.3 million people watched the Giants beat the Patriots, according to ESPN.go.com.
  • Heading into the game, the 49ers are 5-0 in Super Bowls and the Ravens are 1-0 in Super Bowls.
