Ahhh, Super Bowl Sunday. The best day of the year for some, and the most heartbreaking for others.
This year’s game will take place this Sun., Feb. 3 at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, about 119 miles southeast on I-75. Kickoff for the Los Angeles Rams + the New England Patriots is at 6:30 p.m. At halftime: Maroon 5, Travis Scott, and ATL native Big Boi (formerly of Outkast).
A few quick facts to impress your gameday group:
- 33-year old Sean McVay of the Rams is the youngest head coach to coach in the Super Bowl. He was also the youngest coach ever in the NFL when he was hired at 30.
- A Chattanooga athlete has ties to this year’s game in a big way– New England Patriots Keionta Davis is a former UTC Mocs and Red Bank Lions star.
- Tom Brady, who will be 41, is the oldest quarterback to play in the Super Bowl.
- This is the Rams’ first Super Bowl appearance since relocating to L.A. from St. Louis.
- This is the Patriots’ third straight Super Bowl appearance and 11th total.
