Rematch
The Chiefs, led by superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the 49ers, led by quarterback Brock Purdy, are set to face off in a rematch from the 2020 Super Bowl where Mahomes and the Chiefs took top honours. For anyone keeping score, this is the second straight year and the fourth time in five seasons the Kansas City Chiefs are heading to the Super Bowl. An incredible feat on its own.

Half-Time Show
Of course the Super Bowl half-time show is always one of the premier events of the year, almost as big as the game in some respects but don’t tell that to the die-hard football fans. Headlining this year’s performance is the legendary artist Usher, who currently has a residency in Las Vegas. Among the other performers include Tiesto and Post Malone who will be singing in pre-game festivities. Yes, Taylor Swift will also be in attendance as she cheers on Travis Kelce.
Allegiant Stadium
The backdrop to the spectacle will be none other than Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders. Las Vegas has been busy these last few months as it’s coming off a wildly successful inaugural Formula 1 (F1) race and is now working towards the very first Super Bowl in Las Vegas history. Between the stars and the thousands of fans flocking into the city, it should be a day/night to remember for all.
