The Super Bowl is held usually every year on the first Sunday of February. This year Super Bowl LV takes place on Sunday, Feb. 7, 2021. Kickoff will likely happen at 6:30 p.m. ET.
I’m sure everyone knows how to watch super bowl 2021, but why is it the overwhelmingly popular event across the United States? I will explain what’s the reason?
What is the Super Bowl?
The Super Bowl is the championship deciding match for the American Football League “NFL”. The NFL consists of 32 teams, two conferences, the AFC 16 team and the NFC 16 team, where the AFC and NFC champions will compete in the Super Bowl.
In the first place, the NFL’s regular season itself plays only 16 games per team, and the weight of winning or losing one game is different from other sports leagues, and one of the attractions of the NFL is that there is a sense of tension in all games.
The tension of the Super Bowl, which is the decisive battle at the summit , is not a humper. On this day, the whole of America will be full of Super Bowl.
Super Bowl Phenomenon-Dominates National Audience Rating Rankings
Speaking of the phenomenon that symbolizes the Super Bowl, which can be said to be the No. 1 festival in the United States, there are many urban legends that have been told since ancient times.
1) On Super Bowl days, there are no passers-by outside any town, only pizzeria bikes.
2) People from all over the United States go to the bathroom all at once during half-time, causing the problem that the water pressure in the sewage suddenly rises and the water pipe bursts. It became a flashy half-time show to prevent it.
3) The FBI lures wanted criminals by disseminating false information about “Super Bowl ticket winning”.
These are mysterious anecdotes, but if you prove the popularity of the Super Bowl with actual data, the Super Bowl almost dominates the top 20 TV ratings in the United States. Reference: List of most watched television broadcasts in the United States . If ” Viewership (millions) ” in the table below is converted to the audience rating in Japan, it means that 111.9 of the 50th tournament = 46% audience rating, so the 1st place exceeds 50% audience rating.
However, this is just the audience rating on TV throughout the United States. This does not include online distribution or worldwide broadcasting.
* The 11th to 20th places are all Super Bowls.
* Please refer to the following past articles for” M * A * S * H “, which is theonly one that cuts into this ranking other than the Super Bowl.
CM broadcasting rights of about 5 million dollars for 30 seconds
Speaking of the famous story in the Super Bowl, the broadcasting rights fee for commercials. It is rising year by year, and in 2017 became 30 seconds 5 million dollars.
At first glance, it may seem exorbitant, but if 120 million people are watching it in the United States and the family is watching it on a big TV or public viewing big screen to enjoy the Super Bowl, it’s an advertising medium. The display of is considered to be very large.
In addition, Super Bowl commercials have been ranked and handled all over the net, and will continue to attract attention around the world.
If you can get the attention of people all over the world not only when you run the commercial, but also after that, this price may be a good deal considering cost effectiveness.
Too gorgeous halftime show
Even in Bangladesh, which is unfamiliar with American football, the reason why the Super Bowl cannot be ignored is that the performers have a gorgeous half-time show.
Initially, it was only played by a college marching band, but Michael Jackson appeared at the 27th Super Bowl in 1993 to prevent a drop in half-time ratings . This surpassed the audience rating of the first half of the game and established the current Super Bowl format in which the world’s top artists appear.
Initially, Michael Jackson declined the offer, but he accepted it when he learned that the Super Bowl would be broadcast worldwide and could be seen by US military personnel stationed around the world.
At the same time, this also leads to solving the urban legend “water pipe rupture problem”. As expected, it is the King of Pop.
Another famous story in the half-time show is that the performers are no gala. (Excluding transportation and accommodation expenses)
The reason why top artists appear even in no gala is that it is the highest honor to appear in the Super Bowl halftime show . There will be no other event like this.
How can I enjoy the game?
For those who don’t know American football, the biggest problem is the confusing rules.
It’s difficult to understand because it’s a sport that is unfamiliar in Bangladesh and I can’t explain it using other sports as an example, but it’s not difficult at all.
More important than the detailed rules, the NFL is the most popular sport in the United States, a sports powerhouse, so the athletes who play an active part in the NFL have monsters with physical abilities that surpass the level of the Olympics.
Even if you don’t understand the rules, let’s enjoy superhuman performance such as speed and jumping power that is far from human beings, long pass of flying distance that you have never seen. I can understand the rules naturally.
It’s like a serial drama. Even more enjoyable from the playoffs during the regular season
Only the Super Bowl in the summit decisive battle is the focus of attention, but if you can see it from the regular season and playoffs, it’s a good idea to see it. A spectacular drama that seems to have a script develops every year, and you can fully enjoy it up to the Super Bowl.
As I said earlier, unlike other sports, the NFL has 16 games for each team in the regular season and only 4 games for the playoffs, and there are only 20 games for each team in the official game for one season . It’s very easy to follow as a drama.
In addition, the NFL has frequent incidents that are unlikely in the Japanese sports industry since the off-season.
It is an annual event such as drunk driving of athletes and possession of drugs and pistols. There are murderers, fingers are lost by playing with fireworks, cursed, etc. There are a series of unbelievable incidents only in the No. 1 sport of the entertainment powerhouse. There is news that involves Hollywood stars and even the president, so you can see how close the sport is to the people.
Fear! NFL’s Three Great Curses (Jinx)
As a preliminary knowledge, I will introduce the three major curses related to the NFL.
1) No home team can appear in the Super Bowl
→ The stadium that will be the venue for the Super Bowl for the season was decided a few years ago, but strangely no team has fought the Super Bowl at home in its long history.
Teams whose stadiums are outdoors and in cold climates are not home to the Super Bowl XLVIII (except for the Super Bowl XLVIII’s MetLife Stadium), but even after subtracting them, the dome is still mainstream in modern times. This jinx is unbroken.
* The 19th Super Bowl was held at the Stanford University stadium in California, and there was a very regrettable case where the San Francisco 49ers participated.
2) Madden’s curse
The player who became the cover player (cover of the game package) of the popular NFL game “MADDEN NFL” released every year will suffer disaster .
Players who have been very successful in the previous year have been offered cover players to become cover players, but after that, they often disappeared from the NFL front stage due to poor results and injuries.
As of 2017, NFL’s strongest QB “Tom Brady” challenges this curse. I even released a video that provokes a curse, but what is the end of it?
3) Audrey Kasuga’s curse
The last is Jinx, which is famous for Japanese NFL fans. In the weekly program “Audrey’s NFL Club,” which is broadcast only during the NFL season, the team Kasuga supports is a phenomenon that doesn’t become a big deal.
It sounds like a joke, but it has the power to be unfashionable, and the track record of sinking the championship candidates for many years cannot be ignored.
As a result of changing the cheering team, the cheering team sometimes wins in the Super Bowl, but the cheering team suffered the first big power outage in history and changed the flow of the game, or the first 3 in history You will be faced with a desperate big pinch of -28, or you will face a big adversity that will remain in the history of the Super Bowl.
Please check the following corner for details.
There are no people around me watching the NFL, and there is no team I want to support = ” JETS Mad Feast”! The more you know, the more interesting and cool (dead language) sports the NFL is.
However, beginners do not have a team that they especially want to support, and even if they are interested because there are no people around them, it will not last long.
In such a case, let’s support the now (dead language) team “New York Jets” in the big city and check this site “JETS Mad Feast” frequently.
Starting with the Jets news, of course, the NFL, we report on the impressions of the Jets games and all playoff games during the season.
You are not the only one who knew “JETS Mad Feast”. Let’s open the door to the NFL! !!
* Caution *
This site “JETS Mad Feast” will end when the New York Jets win the Super Bowl.
