Super Bowl Sunday, it’s practically a national holiday in the United States at this point. Two teams will play against the other in order to gain the title of Super Bowl Champs. Though any are excited to see who takes the title and will bring home the Lombardi trophy, there is another reason that people are excited about this huge football event. The commercials are one of the highlights of the Super Bowl.
Usually, no one is seated when ads play during an event, but this football game is different. Some of the craziest, wackiest, most moving advertisements are showcased in between plays. It costs companies a pretty hefty price to play a commercial during the Super Bowl, but it has proven to be worth it. It costs approximately $5 million dollars for a thirty-second ad to air during this Primetime event.
