Super Bowl XLVII will be played between the Baltimore Ravens of the American Football Conference and the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football Conference. The contest will be played at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans on February 3, 2013.
Both teams were a win away from Super Bowl berths the previous year, but wound up watching the New England Patriots and the New York Giants compete in Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis, Indiana.
One of the most talked-about topics at Super Bowl XLVII is the fact that the head coaches of the Ravens and the 49ers are brothers. John Harbaugh is in his fifth season as head coach of Baltimore. Jim Harbaugh has been the San Francisco head coach since 2011. This is the first time in the history of the four major sports -- the National Football League, Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League -- that siblings have coached against each other in a championship game.
