Superbowl Sunday is the Sunday on which the Superbowl takes place.

In a very roundabout sense, yes.

I'm not into this because I'm not American but what I do enjoy is watching the Superbowl advertisements on Youtube. Am I not the best consumer?

Well, everyone enjoys that.

Even I watch the Superbowl commercials.

What's crazy though is that this year I've been seeing a lot of commercials for the Superbowl commercials... that's new.

This is consumerism at its absolute most beautiful.

You don't bowl in football though. ?-? Or is the stadium shaped like a giant bowl, like the one in Johannesburg?

Yeah, according to a quick Google search, championship games are called bowls due to the shape of stadiums. Apparently tons of stadiums back in the early 1900s were modeled after Yale's stadium, which was called the Yale Bowl because of the shape, and I guess they also felt the need to model their name after Yale's stadium too. Then the Rose Bowl was made and had an annual football tournament thing going on there, which they named after the stadium. The naming convention was copied, because I guess brand (sort of) recognition is more important than logic.

Hooray for useless trivia.
