25,000 spectators, Amanda Gorman and a bright red jacket, which made headlines after the big sporting event.
Amanda Gorman, The Weeknd, President Joe Biden, and a sprinter – The Super Bowl in the United States took place almost as usual overnight. But: 25,000 spectators were allowed in the stadium, instead of 75,000. And not all of them obeyed the mask requirement.
Biden remembers the Corona tote
US President Joe Biden has called in memory of the Covid-19 victims ahead of the Super Bowl. “Let’s remember everyone who lost,” Biden said in a prerecorded video message ahead of the National Football League final in Tampa, Florida. He also asked Americans to get vaccinated.

According to John Hopkins University in Baltimore, more than 460,000 people have already died after a corona infection in the US In absolute terms, this is more than in any other country in the world.
Amanda Gorman with an emotional poem
Also shortly before the start of the Super Bowl, 22-year-old American star poet Amanda Gorman read a poem honoring her work on the Corona crisis. In his recorded contribution, Gorman praised so-called “essential workers,” such as medical workers, educators, and truckers. Before the final of the National Football League, he also commemorated the victims of the pandemic and called for solidarity in society to fight together against the crisis.
Violations of the crown rules
Despite calls about the corona pandemic situation in the US, according to US media reports, spectators in and around the Super Bowl stadium did not adequately abide by crown rules. With reference to eyewitnesses, the US news agency AP reported numerous people without masks around the place of the final and many violations of the rules at Raymond James Stadium.
Approved in the arena for the duel between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs were 25,000 spectators, including 7,500 health professionals who had already been vaccinated. Cardboard figures in other seats should provide the necessary distance between groups of fans and give the impression of a packed stadium. The capacity of the stadium is normally 75,000 spectators.
Half time show with hundreds of dancers
Canadian rapper The Weeknd provided the show’s highlight at the Super Bowl with an opulent appearance at halftime. The 30-year-old star got out of a sports car at the stadium and, wearing a bright red jacket, played a medley of his hits “Blinding Lights” and “I Feel It Coming.”
The artist was supported in the futuristic and glamorous interlude by hundreds of dancers and various fireworks. A portion of the show where the singer was filmed in a mirror cabinet with a shaking camera and turned around in the process also generated a lot of comments on social media.

Small deposit at the end
A sprinter caused a stir shortly before the end of the Super Bowl. In the fourth quarter, play was briefly interrupted when a man dressed in a tight pink T-shirt and shorts ran across the field. The American television cameras immediately vanished. As you can see from the photos, the man was overwhelmed by security forces on the lawn.
The appearance no longer had a major impact on Sunday’s game (local time). The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and superstar quarterback Tom Brady were already leading the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9 prior to this scene. This was also the end result.
