Game over?

I just finished watching the Super Bowl pre-game show. I have always enjoyed:

1. Cirque du Soleil – I’ve seen them perform in Vegas a couple times
2. Football in general and Super Bowl Sunday in particular

This year it feels a bit archaic to me. In the new media, place and time shifted present, is the term “television event” no longer valid? It might be television. But it doesn’t feel like much of an event yet.
