The Super Bowl is centered around the NFL championship football game, of course, but there are other elements that go along with it, that have become a tradition. Today, the Randolph Towers Blog is highlighting some of them, so even if you don’t watch the game live and in person, you can certainly enjoy it at your Arlington, VA apartment with a group of friends!
Super Bowl Halftime Show
Who can forget past Super Bowl halftime shows? We’re sure there are a few you can easily recall. Past Super Bowl halftime performers included Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Madonna, The Who, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Prince, The Rolling Stones, U2 and many more. This year, Justin Timberlake will be the celebrity guest according to SBNation. Rumor has it that he will be releasing a new album in 2018, which makes the Super Bowl halftime performance the perfect timing. Tune in to see the spectacular.
Super Bowl Commercials
Super Bowl commercials have become a part of the national landscape, and it’s not wonder. Budweiser’s epic commercials, including the 1999 Budweiser Frogs commercial is a perfect example of why Super Bowl commercials are so popular. The striking Dodge Ram Trucks “Farmer” commercial succeeds in getting an emotional response — every time you see it. Each year, millions of viewers tune in, not just to watch the football game, but also to catch the commercials. Super Bowl commercials have morphed into something more than just another ad on TV interrupting your program. They represent the peak of the advertising business, are typically humorous or heartwarming, and sometimes politically charged. One article about the commercials explains, “Super Bowl commercials have become a cultural phenomenon of their own alongside the game itself; many viewers only watch the game to see the commercials,” and a Forbes article cites that as much as 50% of the Super Bowl Audience tunes in just for the commercials. Take a walk down memory lane and browse these old Super Bowl commercials dating back to this 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner commercial.
