2013 Super Bowl: Where to Watch in Georgetown and More

Find out where like-minded fans will be gathering to watch Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday, when the Baltimore Ravens take on the San Francisco 49ers.

Super Bowl XLVII is coming up Sunday in New Orleans — the Baltimore Ravens will face the San Francisco 49ers.

An added twist this year is brother vs. brother head coaches. Jim Harbaugh coaches the 49ers, and his brother John coaches the Ravens.

When these two teams square off Sunday, it will be the fifth time they've done so since the 1996 season. Baltimore has won three games — in 2003, 2007 and 2011. San Francisco won in 1996.
