Just as the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens are preparing for the Super Bowl, area retailers are working this week to help customers plan their big game day events. The two teams will meet for Super Bowl XLVII at 7 p.m. Sunday in New Orleans, with millions of fans around the country and world watching the CBS broadcast. Many of them will also be gathering with friends and family for the game, which generates good business for retailers.
