foursquare and the National Football League will celebrate Super Bowl Sunday with three special badges — one for Pittsburgh Steelers fans, which they can unlock by including “Go Steelers” in their check-ins; one for Green Bay Packers fans, acquired in similar fashion; and one for fans who actually attend Super Bowl XLV at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Users of the location-based mobile app will also receive promotional codes entitling them to 20 percent discounts on select merchandise from NFLShop.

Mobile media company 4INFO has signed exclusive mobile publishing deals with the Green Bay Packers, the New York Jets, the Indianapolis Colts and the Washington Redskins football teams.

The company plans to integrate these teams into its existing publishing platform, in order to let fans sign up for free news alerts, mobile games, and player stats from their cell phones. The mobile content is all ad-supported. The alerts range in scope from player changes to score updates, quarter end updates, and news broadcasts and ticket promotions. Currently, fans can text any team name to 44636 and receive the current score for that team.

Back in July, 4INFO set up a system where advertisers could sponsor SMS text alerts during the Beijing Olympics.
