True, the attendance at Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas was the lowest in the game’s non-pandemic history at 61,629.
But ticket prices generated hundreds of millions of dollars in ticket revenue for the National Football League.
An announced attendance of 61,629 multiplied by a juicy average ticket price means the gate revenues were likely the most for a Super Bowl.
With that type of revenue flowing into the NFL’s bank account, LVSportsBiz.com believes the NFL will be returning to Las Vegas and the Super Bowl victory confetti will be flying in the future at the Raiders-run Allegiant Stadium.
Expect past Super Bowl host cities like Miami, Tampa, Houston, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Phoenix and metro San Francisco to vie for future Super Bowls. And new stadiums are planned in the cities of Buffalo and Nashville with public money, so each of those stadiums will likely get a chance to host a Super Bowl.
But the Las Vegas hospitality industry’s accommodating ways for a Super Bowl will also be a big factor in the NFL awarding a second Super Bowl to the Las Vegas market. Our prediction is that the NFL will award a Super Bowl to Las Vegas in 2030.
The NFL and CBS also hit the jackpot with TV ratings and all-platform viewing audiences with a record total viewer audience of 123.4 million.
In another Super Bowl record, Nevada officials announced a record Super Bowl handle in the state with more than $185.6 million wagered on the game at Nevada’s 182 sports books:
