Super Bowl fans flock to Indianapolis and load-up on snack food

The Super Bowl is receiving a lot of attention this weekend.

From the commercials, to Madonna, to the game, this Sunday's highly-anticipated rematch of the 2008 championship game between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants is expected to attract a super-sized audience.

Odds makers are favouring the Patriots to win by three points.

The Patriots look to avenge their loss to the Giants back in 2008 while New England Quarterback Tom Brady goes for a fourth Super Bowl ring.

Super Bowl Sunday is the second-biggest day of the year for food consumption in the United States, with an estimated 30-million pounds of snacks being eaten.

If you're planning to watch the pre-game show Sunday it starts at 11:00 a.m. MST, with kick-off at 4:00 p.m.

Meanwhile, people in Indianapolis are already in Super Bowl party mode.

Several blocks of downtown Indianapolis are shutdown to make room for Super Bowl Village, which was modeled after Vancouver's Olympic Village.

Indianapolis' B105.7's Sean Copeland tells 660News the city has set up heat lamps to heat the entire area because Indianapolis can get pretty cold.

Copeland says the world's longest and tallest temporary zip line has also been set-up in Super Bowl Village.
