The 2014 Super Bowl, to be played outdoors at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, is still more than 2 years away, but that hasn’t stopped Host Committee CE O Alfred Kelly from accepting corporate partners.
So far, Kelly reports that 22 corporations have pledged in excess of $1 million and will serve as vice chairs.
“I think the major story of today, for us, is the naming of co-sponsors,” Kelly said. “No other Super Bowl has had anywhere close to this many sponsors. And we’re 28 months away from the game.”
In addition, the host committee’s logo was officially unveiled and seen below.
The committee is projecting $550 million of economic benefit to the region.
“We are going to be completely up front from day one about the weather,” Kelly said. “It’s going to be February in New Jersey when that game is played. It’s likely to be cold. It’s likely to have snow or remnants of snow or threats of snow and we thought it would be both fun and direct to put the snowflake right into our major symbol.”
