CNN News:新冠疫情影响下 超级碗现场坐满纸片人
Super Bowl XLIX holds the record for what achievement? Highest score, highest viewership, longest game or closest score? With viewership exceeding 114 million people, the Super Bowl held in 2015 was America's highest rated ever.
Ratings have decreased somewhat since then with 102 million people having watched last year's game. We don't yet have the final estimates on last night's Super Bowl but we can tell you it was the least attended championship in NFL history thanks to COVID. Of the almost 66,000 seats at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, only about 25,000 were made available to socially distanced people.
If you thought there were more, you might have seen cardboard cutouts sitting in. It was a major drop from last year's Super Bowl attendance of more than 62,000 people. But Super Bowl LV still capped a season in which the games went on despite the presence of a disease pandemic.
