There will be thousands of people and it will be difficult for us to meet. I arranged a ride service, to pick us up from certain locations, so that we will meet before the event and go to the event together. You will get the info after you purchased your ticket.

Let us watch this historical game together!

We will have the whole venue by ourselves, with a humongous projection screen and several TVs, plus our drink and food specials.

I AM GAME!

Super Bowl 50 will be the 50th edition of the Super Bowl (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl) and the 46th modern-era (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFL%E2%80%93NFL_merger) National Football League (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_League)championship game. The American Football Conference (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Football_Conference) (AFC) champion (either the Denver Broncos (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Denver_Broncos_season) or New England Patriots (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_New_England_Patriots_season)) will play the National Football Conference (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_Conference) (NFC) champion (either the Carolina Panthers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Carolina_Panthers_season) or Arizona Cardinals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Arizona_Cardinals_season)) to decide the league champion for the 2015 NFL season (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_NFL_season).

In a departure from the NFL tradition of using Roman numerals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numerals), this game is marketed in Arabic numerals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_numerals) as "Super Bowl 50" instead of Super Bowl L (the Roman numeral for 50).[5] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_50#cite_note-ESPN20140604-5)[6] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_50#cite_note-Rosenthal-6) The game is scheduled to be played on February 7, 2016 at Levi's Stadium (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levi%27s_Stadium) in Santa Clara, California (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Clara,_California).[7] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_50#cite_note-7) This will be the first Super Bowl held in the San Francisco Bay Area (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Bay_Area)since Super Bowl XIX (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XIX) in January 1985.[8] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_50#cite_note-San_Francisco_awarded_Super_Bowl_L-8)

It has been dubbed as the Golden Super Bowl[9] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_50#cite_note-game_nickname-9) because it will be located in the Golden State (California); held in the home stadium of the San Francisco 49ers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_49ers), a team named after the miners of the California Gold Rush (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Gold_Rush);[10] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_50#cite_note-Team_name-10)[11] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_50#cite_note-11) and because a 50th anniversary is traditionally the "golden anniversary (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_jubilee)". CBS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_on_CBS) will telecast the game in the United States.[12] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_50#cite_note-12)[13] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_50#cite_note-13)
