PHOENIX -- The Arizona Host Committee has put many things in place to garner attention for XLIX, but nothing is commemorating the march to the game quite like the First Solar Countdown Clock. The countdown clock was unveiled before the new year in downtown Phoenix Alex Jackson Jersey . It stands 13 feet tall and 110 inches wide and is the second cornerstone unveiled, following the 7,000-pound football outside Host Committee headquarters Nov. 10. Host Committee chair David Rou seau is hoping the countdown clock will catch the public's eye and serve as a reminder of what's to come Feb. 1 in Glendale, Ariz. "We want to garner attention and have people start to focus on what's about to unfold down here so this is going to be a daily reminder, an hourly reminder and fortunately a second reminder," Rou seau said. Rou seau said the partnership to create the clock with First Solar, a Tempe-based company and the largest corporate contributor for Host Committee volunteers, was a no-brainer. "First Solar has set the bar for community involvement and investment in the community and we're excited on both fronts to highlight that today," Rou seau said. First Solar CEO Jim Hughes was also in attendance and addre sed the crowd of volunteers and media. "Our partnership with the Host Committee demonstrates our commitment to this community," Hughes said. "First Solar is proud to be a sponsor of the Host Committee." The countdown clock, which is also fitted with 200 feet of LED lights, is located on the corner of First Street and Jefferson, where Central will make its home the week before the game. "We also felt that this was an event that would help the Valley demonstrate that it's a world-cla s metroplex with world-cla s amenities able to support a world-cla s event," Hughes said.
