Super Bowl 58 is almost upon us, and both the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers are in Las Vegas preparing for the big game, but they’re not staying anywhere near the iconic Las Vegas Strip.
The NFL is all about security for the big game, and that means both teams will be staying 25 miles each of The Strip, with the Chiefs staying at the Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort and Spa, while the 49ers will be over at the Hilton Lake Las Vegas Resort and Spa.
During a press conference NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was asked if the Super Bowl would ever be streamed exclusively on a screaming service in the future, to which he categorically ruled that or and made clear that the NFL has no plans for a streaming-only Super Bowl while he is still the commissioner. This comes after NFL’s first-ever Peacock-exclusive playoff game during the wild-card round this season, which ruffled the feathers of many fans who either missed the game or had to shell out $5.99 to be able to sign up for Peacock just to watch the game.
And did you know that the winning team in the Super Bowl earns a bonus of $157,000, while players on the losing team earn $82,000 (not bad for losing). Plus, the winning team gets a Super Bowl Ring made of solid gold and encrusted with diamonds, and usually includes the team’s name, logo, the phrase “World Champions” and the Super Bowl number indicated in Roman numerals. They can even get the ring customized with the their name and uniform number.
That doesn’t sound cheap, so how much do these rings usually go for you might be wondering?
The final price of a Super Bowl ring usually comes in between $30,000-$50,000 per ring!
Just about everything about the Super Bowl sounds super expensive!
