Superbowl Party

Postby Jennifer Smith » February 2nd, 2009, 4:16 pm

Did you have one?

Our party was almost overcapacity to the size of our house this year.. and many folks we would've liked to invite we felt we couldn't... Is it true that churches are now able to host them once again?

If possible we would like to plan one at church next year, Lord willing, but we don't want to pay a fine!

Television Broadcast

In years past, the NFL kyboshed screenings on anything larger than 55 inches, meaning no big projector set-ups were allowed. The policy gained attention in 2007 after the League went after the Fall Creek Baptist Church in Indianapolis for showing Super Bowl XLI with a wall projector. NFL attorneys claimed copyright violation, but backed off on the policy for this year’s game.


The NFL can get picky when they want to.
Let the wild rumpus start!

A church can't charge you to view the SuperBowl but a group can certainly gather in a church to watch the SuperBowl and the NFL would be nuts to try and stop that.

We had one at the church and Wen and I were the only Steeler fans present. Of course we were the only ones happy with the outcome as well.

Most folks say they were rooting for Kurt and especially because he is a Christian. I guess that means that no one in the Steelers organization is a Christian.
I have piped unto you, and ye have not danced!

BTW It's a little silly that talk about a party has to be relegated to the Sports forum IMO...! I don't even watch sports! :)
