I’m going to my first Super Bowl - in 2027.

Over the last two months, the hospitality organization began accepting deposits for Super Bowl LXI that will take place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood/Los Angeles in 2027 and I decided to take the plunge.

I considered going to a few past Super Bowls except the costs are in the thousands. My only Super Bowl “experience” was Super Bowl XXX in Tempe/Phoenix in 1996 when the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-17. I had just relocated to Phoenix months before the game. I did not get a ticket to the game but I did take part in extra curricular activities that took place in the week before the game.

Even though I already paid my deposit, I will look at what packages are out there which will include a ticket to the game and what the costs are. If it’s too much, I have the option of requesting a refund of my deposit before paying for any packages.
