Columbus ranked 4th for Superbowl

[dawg4life]

I was watching NBC4 news this evening and they had mentioned that the Columbus market was ranked 4th in the entire nation for viewing the Superbowl. I can't seem to find any link online to back up their claim but regardless that's impressive.

That is not too surprising... Columbus in a sense, is like Indianapolis and there have been comparisons between the two cities.
