And we will reveal all the magic of the Super Bowl 2020.
Super Bowl what is it?
To take a quick refresher, the Super Bowl is the last game in the NFL, which stands for National Football League, the professional football league. It is held every year between late January and early February. He sees contending for the title of NFL Champion between the two teams that have won the two conferences, that is l’American Football Conference e la National Football Conference.
The NFL league was founded in 1920, but the first Super Bowl dates back to 1967. It was born from the union of the NFL and the AFL, a competing league born in 1960. It was decided to create a game that confronted the champions of the two leagues, so it was renamed as the «World Championship». From 1970 the merger was final and since then they have been competing for the title 32 teams in total: 16 teams for the American Football Conference and 16 for the National Football Conference. After the regular season, the teams that have won their conference and the two best runners-up are guaranteed access to playoff. At the end of the playoffs, the finals of the two conferences are scheduled, which will decide the two Super Bowl teams.

Captain the San Francisco 49ers is the explosive quarterback Jimmy garoppolo, of Abruzzo origins, for years a reserve of the very famous Tom Brady of the Patriots.

Big companies know the Super Bowl isn't just about sport. Not surprisingly, the fee to secure a 30-second "slot" amounts to approximately 5,6 million dollars.
Over the years theHalftime Show (the intermission show) has become more and more one of the most followed stages in the world. Just think about how much time has passed since the first edition of 1967, when to perform in front of the over 60 spectators at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, it was ... an orchestra. The University of Arizona Symphony Orchestra, The Pride of Arizona, who performed “The Liberty Bell”, a famous American march. The exhibition in 3D of Elvis Soon in '89, a pale imitation of Elvis Presley, kicked off in later editions to want to introduce real music stars to the game.

In years past it had been calculated that with the potatoes eaten during the Super Bowl, they could fill up 39 boeing 747. They will increase sales of digestives by 20% on Monday after the game.
The price of tickets
Incredible also i ticket prices: in the 2018 final, the average exceeded i 5 thousand dollars a ticket, while it has been calculated that in the last few weeks leading up to the 2019 final, the cheapest seat has cost dollars 3.300.
Those who moved earlier this year spent $ 500 to $ 5000 to secure a ticket to the event. Without considering those who made the investment, to then resell the coupons online, at prices that on average fluctuate on 5000 dollars.
We emphasize "on average", because, having arrived close to the event, the prices currently are around 4 thousand dollars and there is a growing possibility that up to 22 thousand dollars will be spent just to buy a ticket at the last minute quality.

Curiosity
It seems that he coined the term of the Super Bowl Lamar Hunt, the Texan billionaire. He did so by tracing the name of the "bowl game", the match between university teams.
Both the dates and the location where the Super Bowl will be held vary year after year. The Super Bowl is held always la first Sunday of February, which is a non-working day in the United States. The location, on the other hand, is chosen by the NFL well in advance, usually by three to five years before the game.
Cities bid to host a Super Bowl and are rated based the renovations made and the hosting capacity of spectators.
Much of the cost of the Super Bowl is borne by the host community, even if some costs are listed among the requirements of the NFL. The host stadium must be located in a host city an NFL team and must have a minimum of 70.000 places, with the media and electrical equipment needed to produce the Super Bowl. There must be at least 35.000 parking spaces within one mile from the stadium.
There must be a minimum number of rooms available in the hotel within an hour's drive from the stadium, equivalent to 35% of the stadium capacity, along with hotels for teams, officials, media and other dignitaries. For the Super Bowl XXXIX, the city of Jacksonville docked several luxury cruise ships in their port to offer temporary rooms.
Legends
The first team to win the Super Bowl are the Green Bay Packers, which won the first two editions, beating first the Chiefs and then the Oakland Raiders. They were trained by the legendary Vince Lombardi, after which the silver trophy, made by Tiffany, worth $ 25.
I Pittsburgh Steeelers won more editions of the Super Bowl. They participated in final eight, winning six. Behind them come the Dallas Cowboys e i San Francisco 49ers. The record of bad luck touches instead to the Buffalo Bills: four finals and zero wins.
In the last 14 Super Bowl who wore the white shirt, ha won 12 times losing on only two occasions.
Perhaps also for this reason, there have been some "mysterious" disappearances, which later resulted in real cases by the FBI. Starting with the stolen shirt a Tom Brady, which the Bureau later discovered had been taken by none other than a Mexican reporter sneaked into the Patriots' locker room.
Less mysterious but still quite striking, it is the blackout that reduced Super Bowl XLVII to complete darkness, less than two minutes from the second half of the final.
But perhaps the most absurd situation, goes to Super Bowl XIII, with the Steelers winning 35-31 over the Cowboys. In the super controlled Steelers locker room, a fan managed to sneak in and, as if nothing had happened, not only took a shower with all the other players, but got dressed and answered questions of journalists like any other player.
