From the host cities to the businesses cashing in on everything from gas taxes to souvenir sales, this massive sports spectacle is a goldmine for nearly everyone involved. It’s so significant that its impact is reflected in the national economy.

Also, watching the game live generates huge ticket sales that contribute significantly to the financial success of the Super Bowl. And the big-name brands? They’re ready to drop millions on those precious few seconds of ad time during the commercial breaks. TV networks? They’re raking in billions just from broadcasting the game.
