I always thought it was played on Sunday, but there may not have been an official NFL rule that stupulated it MUST be on a Sunday. I would say that maybe in 2000 the NFL made an official rule that it must be played on Sunday. That is the only thing that would make any sense to me.

Actually it was changed after 2001 to FEBRUARY, up until then it was always the last Sunday in January as I remember it. That is why they had media week some years, they had the 5 week January and had the extra week for it. Well either that or it is simply my imagination and made it make sense.

It seems that I can recall talk about the game being played on Saturday because of the party atmosphere the Superbowl provides. Many employees come to work on the following Monday tired and hung over. This was supposed to be a remedy for that but to my knowledge it didn't get any farther than talk. I also heard that they were talking about making the following Monday a holiday because of this.
