Superbowl LIX is veering ever closer to its opening kickoff, which has fans hyped for the potential dream matchup between the best two remaining sides that will represent both the AFC and NFC Conferences. Fans are now preparing to get their homes and social areas ready for the game, as well as all the usual entertainment acts that the Superbowl annually provides.
This year’s iteration of the prestigious Superbowl game will take place in New Orleans, Louisiana, at the Saints’ home venue, the Caesars Super Dome, which has hosted the Superbowl on seven occasions.
Following an incredible weekend of conference championship action, the final two remaining clubs are two iconic franchises that last met in the big game only two years ago. The Philadelphia Eagles of the NFC will square off in a rematch against the reigning Superbowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs of the AFC, to decide who will lift the coveted Vince Lombardi trophy.
NFL fans are always eager to state that they are ready to flock out to whatever neutral city venue to watch the Superbowl live in person, given that limited tickets are available.
