we’re here because this is a phenomenal moment. I was here back in 03 We were only able to make it to Dell Mabry. We’re glad to actually be at the stadium with this victory Thistles. Amazing. So I’m a physician assistant. I work in the emergency room, so yeah, they had us enter a lottery because we were front line workers. And, um, I just got lucky enough to get a ticket, and here I am. I never thought I’d be here in a million years. It’s crazy to me that Brady just comes and wins the Super Bowl whenever he feels like it. Like, that just kind of blows my mind. It was disappointing, but when you love that team, you stick with them through thick and thin. E. Everybody here is great. Fans are awesome. I mean, a little obnoxious when they started winning too much. But hey, that’s that’s great. But no, it was awesome being the stadium with all the fans, all the camaraderie, and I just think everybody is happy to be here
Taking place in the middle of a global pandemic Super Bowl LV was an NFL championship game unlike any other. But the big game still brought in another Super Bowl victory for Tom Brady and a sizable — if somewhat smaller — audience.Super Bowl LV averaged 96.4 million viewers across TV and streaming, according to CBS. That number was down from last year’s Super Bowl, which averaged roughly 102 million viewers across Fox and streaming.This year’s matchup, in which the Tampa Bay Buccaneers blew out the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9 to nab Brady his 7th Super Bowl ring, averaged 91.6 million viewers on CBS alone.It’s not a total shock that the ratings declined from last year, because the game was never really competitive.Even the ads felt a bit off, with major sponsors like Budweiser, Coca-Cola and Pepsi sitting out. Pepsi, however, did sponsor the halftime show, which included The Weeknd, fireworks and an army of dancers dressed like the singer with bandaged faces.Veteran play-caller Jim Nantz, who was in the booth on Sunday, told CNN Business last week that this year’s Super Bowl would be “completely different” since the stadium would not be totally full because of COVID-19.Although Raymond James Stadium in Tampa was somewhat vacant on Sunday, it wasn’t entirely empty. About 22,000 fans were in attendance, including 7,500 vaccinated health care workers the NFL invited.”This concept of honoring the heroes I think is going to color the entire presence of the Super Bowl,” Nantz said last week. “It transcends the game because of those health care workers that are going to be there.”
