The National Football League announced today ticket sales plans for the 2010 Pro Bowl at Dolphin Stadium in South Florida.
Preceding the Super Bowl for the first time, the Pro Bowl will be played on Sunday, Jan. 31, 2010 and be televised live on ESPN at 7:30 p.m. ET from Dolphin Stadium, also the site of Super Bowl XLIV a week later on Sunday, Feb. 7.
