| How American Business Makes the Super Bowl Happen |
| From the food on your table to the commercials on your TV, businesses of all sizes make the Super Bowl possible. |
 |
The Super Bowl isn’t just a football game — it’s an economic engine that showcases the power of American business. From the food on your table to the commercials on your TV screen, businesses of all sizes make the magic of the big game possible.
Why it matters: The Super Bowl is a prime example of how businesses of all sizes work to bring important cultural and sporting events to life, drive economic growth, and create jobs.
Local economic impact: This year’s Super Bowl in New Orleans — the city’s 11th — is expected to draw over 100,000 visitors. They’ll boost revenues for local businesses of all sizes with spending on hotels, restaurants, and transportation.
Eat up: The game’s impact ripples beyond New Orleans to hit the stomachs of millions of Americans. While Super Bowl Sunday is America’s biggest sports event, it’s also the second-largest food-centric event in the U.S., behind only Thanksgiving.
- 100 million pounds of chicken wings will be eaten.
- 11.2 million pounds of potato chips and 8 million pounds of guacamole will be eaten.
- 1 in 7 Americans will order takeout, fueling restaurants nationwide.
Lights. Camera. Action. The entertainment industry will also cash in. Super Bowl commercials are expected to surpass $700 million in revenue — topping last year’s record. Brands are willing to pay top dollar to reach the projected 203.4 million U.S. adults tuning in — nearly 60% of the U.S. population.
Bottom line: From making the game-day extravaganza come off without a hitch to putting smiles on sports fans’ faces all over the country, the Super Bowl represents the best of U.S. business in action.
