  • Why Super Bowl LV Will Be A Completely Different Ball Game For Advertisers

    The 55th Super Bowl kicks off next month (February 7) at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.   This year’s game will be very different from any previous Super Bowl, with the match set to play out to a much smaller crowd because of restrictions forced by the pandemic.  TV viewers will also be affected. The Super Bowl is usually a great excuse for everyone to congregate in people’s homes to watch the Big Game over a crate of beer and large bowls of chips.  But with Coronavirus restrictions making large scale Super Bowl parties almost impossible, it means that many viewers will be forced to watch in smaller gatherings – or even by themselves.   However, despite Super Bowl LV promising to be a very different, one thing will remain the same for viewers watching at home — the commercial breaks!  Despite the uncertain times we find ourselves in, ad slots costing $5.5M
