It's the night of the year when roughly one in three Americans are doing the exact same thing -- Super Bowl Sunday. This year's big game is being played on Feb. 2 at MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands of East Rutherford , N.J., the home stadium of both the Giants and Jets. As a result of the circus, the game is expected to lead to an extra $60 million for the local economy in the greater New York area, as CBS News reported.

And if history is any guide, the apex of each football season will also result in thousands of temp jobs. Indeed, as an economic impact study by the University of New Orleans commissioned after last year's big game found the 2013 Super Bowl led to the creation of 5,600 temp jobs and some $154 million in wages for the New Orleans area, as the New Jersey Star-Ledger reported.
