Game Day Stats

Are you ready for the Super Bowl this Sunday??

Would you believe it if I told you that I honestly have NO idea what teams are even going to be playing football?  Don't worry though- I've already gone grocery shopping for food that we are taking to the Super Bowl party we're attending.  Ha!  Anyone else out there like me?  Maybe it's the fact that I was an advertising major in college, but for me, the Super Bowl is 100% about watching the commercials (and rating them!), viewing the half time show, and eating good food.  I don't even watch the football part!  

If you're like me and are intruiged by the whole culture itself of the Super Bowl, here are some interesting game day statistics:

- The advertising revenue from the 2017 Super Bowl stood at around 419 million U.S. dollars.

- In 2017, a 30 second spot commercial during the Super Bowl cost 5 million dollars.

-Super Bowl Weekend is the slowest weekend for weddings in the United States.

- The average consumer plans to spend an average of $82 U.S. dollars on Super Bowl Sunday (this includes food and beverages, televisions, furniture, team apparel, etc.

- In 2019, players on the winning team stand to make $124,000 U.S. dollars for playing in the game.  Players on the losing team will receive $62,000 U.S. dollars. Not a bad gig, right?!

- The all-time Super Bowl viewing record was reached in 2015.  114.4 million people watched!
