Forget dinner reservations: in 2027, couples may have another event to negotiate—the Super Bowl. Super Bowl LXI is scheduled for February 14, 2027, the first time in NFL history that the championship game will happen on Valentine’s Day.
The game will take place at SoFi Stadium in the Los Angeles area, which previously hosted the Super Bowl in 2022. The timing also falls over Presidents’ Day weekend, giving many workers a day off the following Monday, perhaps providing couples with an extra day to celebrate after the final whistle.
Indeed, there’s much more to the Super Bowl than just football, and there’s a reason it’s become one of America’s most important events. After all, football is America's most-loved sport.
For those who either don't really understand the game or are just not interested, you're not alone. Hallmark estimates that 40% of Super Bowl viewers are not actually football fans. However, the Super Bowl can still be an exciting event for you. It has a little of everything—heartwarming commercials, riveting halftime shows from some of the most popular artists, an excuse to have a party with friends and family, and, of course, beer!
Click on for a list of 10 reasons why the Super Bowl can still be fun for you, even if football isn't your thing.
