Here at the Host Committee we've been keeping track of the time until the two prime time NFL events of the season: Pro Bowl 2010 and Super Bowl XLIV. As of July 14th, Pro Bowl 2010 is officially 200 days way from kicking off in South Florida. (That also means Super Bowl XLIV is 207 days away, but who's counting?)

It will be the first time in 30 years the Pro Bowl is being played outside of Hawaii and 35 years since it's been hosted in South Florida. The game will be played at Dolphin Stadium on January 31st, 2010 at 7:30 PM.
