1. Why is this Super Bowl 50 instead of Super Bowl L using Roman numerals??

I believe they have addressed this and said that they didn't like the "visual appeal" of the L, which is understandable. They are going back to Roman numerals next year with Super Bowl LI. The "L" by itself does look awkward, and they want to focus on the 50.

2. Why has the NFL all season marketed this as the “Golden” Super Bowl, implying that this is the 50th anniversary of the NFL, when the NFL was actually founded in 1920? Why does the NFL not talk much about football history before the Super Bowl era? Can you imagine if baseball didn’t talk about Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb and Honus Wagner and Walter Johnson and Cy Young, because they played before the 1960s???

I don't think they are implying 50 years of the NFL. I think they are just focusing on the 50th Super Bowl.

Are they holding it on Long Island? ;-)
