Super Bowl in LA
Charger game on December 12, 2021 at SoFi Stadium
January 26, 2022
It’s that time of year, the Super Bowl! This sporting event has been played every year since 1967. Over the years it has attracted tens of millions of people which makes it the single most watched U.S. sporting event.
The game will be on Sunday February 13 at 3:30pm. This sporting event has always been on the first Sunday of February but due to the NFL expanding their schedule from 17 weeks to 18 weeks, this year, the game will be held in the second week of February.
The Super Bowl will be hosted at the new SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA. SoFi Stadium opened in 2020 and is the new home of the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers football teams. The stadium seats seventy thousand fans and costs five billion dollars.
The event is expected to be like no other past Super Bowl.
“The entire event is going to be insane, our security campus which is the security at the gates when entering the stadium. For all events it is usually one hundred acres, but for the Super Bowl it is being expanded to three-hundred acres,” SoFi Stadium System Developer, Brandon Ekbatani says.
With the Super Bowl being at SoFi stadium, it is creating a lot of excitement. The week before the game, there will be media days and fan events over in Inglewood. SEGA senior Joseph Pecot says, “I think it’s going to be really fun, I don’t have tickets but I will definitely try to go down to Inglewood during that week for all of the events prior to the game.”
For the annual Super Bowl halftime show, rappers Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Dr. Dre, and Kendrick Lamar will be performing alongside R&B singer Mary J. Blige.
The NFL regular season ended on January 9th. The four winners of the American Football Conference (AFC) regular season were the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, Cincinnati Bengals, and Tennessee Titans. The winners of the National Football Conference (NFC) regular season were the Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Rams, Green Bay Packers, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
After an exciting two weeks of the NFL wild card and divisional playoff games, it has come down to the NFC and AFC championship games on Sunday January 30. The NFC game will be between the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams and it will be located at SoFi Stadium. The AFC game will be between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Kansas City Chiefs and it will be located at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
The NFL playoffs this year have been full of excitement. The game is only two weeks away. It sounds like Super Bowl LVI is going to be a game to remember.

In issue 4/22 (published January 26,2022) Drew Hannon wrote an article titled “Super Bowl in LA”. This article is explaining how Super Bowl LVI is being held in the new SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. This stadium is the new home of the Rams and the Chargers. This new stadium can seat up to seventy thousand fans and cost up to five billion dollars. The author also explains how fun and thrilling the Super Bowl is gonna be. There are going to be big events and artists performing like Snoop Dog, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Dr. Dre, and Mary J. Blige. This is a very good line up for a halftime show this year. These artists will have lots of people coming to watch the halftime show. This year the Rams are going to be going against the Bengals. This is going to be a good game that everyone would love to watch. And even more people can watch because they expanded the stadium to 300 acres this year instead of 100. Even though this stadium is going to be big and open I think it is going to be a problem with covid and masks. But either way this SuperBowl is going to be good.

In Issue 4/2022 (published January 26, 2022), Drew Hannon wrote an article titled “Super Bowl in LA” The article is about the exciting superbowl game of 2022. This article really interested me since I am a Rams fan. I am super excited to see the outcome of this year’s superbowl. I noticed this article was written before the outcome of the Rams vs 49ers and the Bengals vs Chiefs games. The outcome of those two games ended up with the 2022 superbowl of Los Angeles Rams against the Cincinnati Bengals. They were two really crazy games and the outcome will be an amazing game. Besides this, prior to reading this article I didn’t know who the halftime performers were going to be this year. I am so excited to know that there are going to be a bunch of artists that I am excited to see perform. From what I understand from the article, this year’s superbowl is going to be a crazy game and I am so excited for it. Thank you, you really got my Rams enthusiasm up. Go Rams! Both Millikan and Los Angeles Rams).

In Issue 4/2022 (published January 26th, 2022,) Drew Hannon wrote an article titled “Super Bowl in LA.” The article mentions that this year, the Super Bowl (the most watched US sporting event) will be held in SoFi Stadium, the home of the Rams. This will be the first time the Super Bowl will be hosted at Sofi Stadium. Prior to the article, I did not know that the event space for SoFi Stadium would be only 100 acres. I seems almost necessary to expand this area for the Super Bowl. This is exciting because it is rare for a team to play in their home stadium in the Super Bowl. I think it is also great that even though the stadium seats seventy thousand people and costs five billion dollars, there will be media days and fan events to satisfy the people who cannot get tickets to see the game, but are still excited about the event.
It is also great that you highlighted the halftime show performers, as I did not know who would be performing this year. That is quite an impressive lineup. I do have a few questions. How will this be a unique Super Bowl from years past? And how much will this affect Covid-19 cases in LA County? It was a great article. I enjoyed reading it.

In Issue 4/2022 (published January 26th, 2022), Drew Hannon wrote an article titled “Super Bowl in LA” In the first paragraph you mention the Super Bowl has been played since 1967, i’m shocked to see how long the NFL and its partners have been able to consistently manage an event this long. I’m a big football fan and every year I look forward to the biggest game of the year and the half time show. You mention that the Super Bowl halftime show will have rappers Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Dr. Dre, and Kendrick Lamar will be performing alongside R&B singer Mary J. Blige, and normally when I talk to people who are not really into football they say that they watch the Super Bowl just for the halftime show. Just like the Super Bowl game itself, the Halftime show is one of the biggest performances each year. This year playing in the Super Bowl is the Bengals vs. Rams, and I know rams are from L.A. but I will be rooting for the Bengals, who will you be rooting for? Regardless, this should be a good game and I’m glad it can be played in Los Angeles.

In Issue 4, (published January 26, 2022), Drew Hannon wrote an article titled “Super Bowl in LA.” This article explains how the Super Bowl LVI is going to be held at the new SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The new SoFi stadium is the new home for the Los Angeles Rams.

The annual Super Bowl halftime show is expected to be very entertaining because rappers like Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Dr. Dre, and Kendrick Lamar are performing. This halftime show will get people up on their feet having an amazing time and hyped. I also do agree with how exciting the NFL playoffs have been this year and that this Super Bowl is going to be a game to remember. Thank you for writing this very entertaining article, I enjoyed reading every bit of it.

Dear Drew Hannon,
In issue 4 (published January 26, 2022), you wrote an article titled “Super Bowl in LA” which highlighted the perks of the super bowl being in Inglewood, CA. I am truly happy it’s going to take place in LA because I get to experience it. The last time the Super Bowl was in LA was 2000, so I never have ever experienced it so close. Drew talks about how it’s going to take place in the new SoFi stadium which just opened in 2020, which is a plus. But I have a few questions. How will they mandate covid procedures during this weekend? Why would this be like no other Super Bowl? And how will the crowds affect LA? With all these people coming into town to watch the Super Bowl, cases are going to spike. I would assume they’re only letting vaccinated people attend and masks are required at all times, but it’s hard to make everyone wear one. And even though you have the vaccine, you can still get covid and pass it to other people. I just feel like it’s not the safest event to be having in this day and age. So yes, I am very excited the Super Bowl will be in the City of Angels again, but I truly think it’s the worst time to be hosting it.
Sincerely,
Riley Sawyer

In Issue 4/2022 (published January 26, 2022), Drew Hannon wrote an article titled “Super Bowl in LA”. This article mentions how much excitement this year’s Super Bowl will be, since it will be held here locally at the brand new stadium in Inglewood named the SoFi stadium. This stadium is super unique since it holds over seventy thousand people, and cost nearly 5 billion dollars to build. The author explains how much fun Super Bowl LVI is going to be since there are going to be plenty of cool events that will take place at the Super Bowl this year. He mentions that there will be events for the fans outside of the stadium prior to the game, and there will also be a “media day” for the players, and coaches of the two teams. This is really awesome as it allows fans who don’t have tickets to the game to attend these events the week prior to the game. On top of this there will also be the annual halftime show, this year’s show will be performed by Snoop Dog, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Dr. Dre, and Mary J. Blige. This year’s super bowl will be the Los Angeles Rams representing the National Football Conference (NFC) versus the CIncinnati Bengals representing the American Football Conference (AFC). This game is going to be very unique since it is very rare you see a team play in their own stadium for the Super Bowl. I really like how this article gives multiple quotes whether it’s from students here at Millikan or the System Developer of the SoFi stadium, I really like this since it shows another perspective.
