    we're a td and a fg or 2 tds away from scorigami. there's never been a 50-6 or a 54-6 scoreline. 40-12 also a less likely possibility

    Eagles dominant but embarrassing performance from the Chiefs.

    I called it that the Eagles would win. A strong defence and their offense with Barkley is not too shabby either. A blowout really.

    You can tell how big a game the Superbowl is when you look at the attendance.  This year it was only 12,000 short of the 2019 League One play-off final.

    Probably about the capacity of the all indoor New Orleans stadium? Been there and what it lacks in size it made up for in noise. They have a decibel meter they flash up, around 105 i think

    It was meant as a light-hearted jibe at the mis-placed hubris Americans' have in their softplay version of rugby league.  It's interesting to note that the Superbowl attendance was close to the Premier League's 15th-placed team's average attendance (West Ham).  They're expecting more to watch England v France at Twickenham later this season - not bad for a women's match. 

    Officially, at least, there were 7,489 fewer fans than the stadium's capacity at the Superbowl.  I can't imagine the FA Cup Final being 10% empty.

    One of the reasons is the Superbowl can only be played in Roofed stadiums or stadiums with an average temp above a certain level (it's why you can't have the game in Denver, or Seattle for example) and another is capacity gets chewed by all the hospitality and press.

    How many college/university football matches over here get 110k fans on average?

    Such a dominant defensive display, unbelievable in a Super Bowl. Worthy world champs.

    Absolutely. After a shaky start the first four games, absolutely dominant all year. Comfortably the best team, best players in the league. And Fangio, one of the greatest defensive coordinators of all time.

    so glad I stayed up to watch that. One of the most dominant defensive performances in many years.

    Ah I see.

    Despite their misplaced hubris, the stadium was likely as full as possible and the global viewing figures a lot of multiples higher than any game West Ham have ever played in.

    Not bad for a stop start version of rugby league where virtually none of the audience understand much of the detail of what is going on .

    Viewing figures would have been pretty good when West Ham won the World Cup!

    As a Bears fan back from 85/86 it was great to see a defensive line totally obliterate an offense again in a Super Bowl and not just any side but one going for an unprecedented 3 in a row.

    Spent a lot of time working in Philly over the years and have some good friends out there.  Even they couldn't have dared believe they could put in such a dominant performance but so pleased that they did. If it couldn't be my Bears (as if) then really happy for all my Eagle supporting friends. Go Birds!

    Watched the game back this morning. Certainly didn't expect that, but Hurts was really good and Fangio's D gave Mahomes a torrid time. Did the over 38.5 points so at least I made a bit of profit.

    Yes, but its global viewing figures fall considerably lower than those of other sports who are, de facto, much more popular.  I don't think the Superbowl is as universally popular, globally, as some Americans might have us believe.

    Watched the highlights this morning. That Eagles defence was so dominant. Was it 6 sacks without a blitz, that’s mental.

    Those decibel meters don't count when the jumbotron is asking people to "make some noise".

    The reality is that the atmosphere at Blackpool away was better than any NFL or College football game i've been to
