How long is the Super Bowl?
According to CBS Sports, the average Super Bowl broadcast over the past 20 years has been about three-and-a-half hours long, including the halftime show that generally lasts 20 to 30 minutes.
The longest Super Bowl over the past decade was in 2013, which lasted 4 hours and 15 minutes. The main reason that game went so long was because there was a 34-minute delay because of a power outage at the Superdome in New Orleans.
When was the last Super Bowl in Tampa?
Super Bowl 55 will be Tampa's fifth time hosting the big game. The last time Tampa hosted the Super Bowl was in 2009. Super Bowl XLIII featured the Pittsburgh Steelers beating the Arizona Cardinals, 27-23, securing their sixth Super Bowl ring.
Who did the Chiefs play in the last Super Bowl?
Last year, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers, 31-20 in Super Bowl 54 in Miami, Florida.
The Chiefs could become the eighth franchise in NFL history to win back-to-back Super Bowls, only if they beat the Bucs. The last team to do so was the New England Patriots, led by Tom Brady, after the 2004 season.
