Super Bowl. Super Bowl. Super Bowl.

It’s on everyone's lips and minds this week as the Bay Area gets ready for the big game on Sunday.

Ask a fan and they’ll tell you the extravaganza is a windfall for the region, bringing in millions of dollars, highlighting San Francisco on the world stage and celebrating the largest sporting event in the world.

Ask a detractor and they’ll say the spectacle is nothing but a capitalist money grab, annoying residents with construction and traffic snarls when money and focus could be directed toward better causes.

However you feel, take a deep breath and remember — it’ll all be over on Sunday night. That is, except at the departure gates at SFO.
