Super Bowl LII – the most electrifying show on Earth and set to be the biggest we’ve seen yet with a jam-packed long weekend starting Thursday 1st February 2018. The lead up to Super Bowl Sunday is filled with some top shelf sports action and plenty of incredible entertainment. Over 110 million tune in on TV every year but less that 70,000 will see it live. If you’re in that lucky number, here’s what to expect….

WHERE WILL  SUPER BOWL LII BE PLAYED?

Way back in May 2014, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced that U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota would play host to this season’s showpiece game. Home to the NFC North’s Minnesota Vikings, construction on the state-of-the-art stadium was completed in time for the start of the 2016 NFL season. The stadium currently seats 66,200 spectators but can be extended to fit at least 70,000. Minneapolis hosts the Super Bowl for the first time in 26 years, when the Washington Redskins beat the Buffalo Bills 37-24 to win Super Bowl XXVI at The Metrodome.

SUPER BOWL LIVE

This year Minneapolis is pulling out all the stops in the lead up to Super Bowl Sunday. Kicking things off is Super Bowl Live presented by Verizon on Nicollet Mall, a 10-day fan festival for fans of all ages. Super Bowl Live includes free live concerts, national broadcast activations, food & fun, with nods to winter that showcase Minnesota’s authentic Bold North brand. The fan festival begins on Friday 26^th January and concludes Sunday 4^th February, otherwise known as Super Bowl Sunday.

As for the free live concerts, you’ll get to experience both local and nationally acclaimed acts. Amazing Minnesotan artists such as Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam will feature on the Verizon Up Stage to showcase their talents. They’ll be joined by a magnificent musical lineup including Soul Asylum, Idina Menzel, Morris Day and the Time, Cobi, Dessa, The Revolution and many more.

SUPER BOWL LII ODDS

According to the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook here are the odds for the remaining NFL teams in the 2018 NFL Playoffs.

ENTERTAINMENT

The line up for the Super Bowl LII long weekend is incredible. From the amazing sporting action to the live entertainment, Minneapolis is the absolute place to be in February. Here’s the lineup:

THURSDAY 1st FEBRUARY

For NFL fans wanting the full American sports experience this is the perfect way to start an exciting weekend. On Thursday night you have a choice between entertainment and sports. Aussie Matthew Dellavedova’s Milwaukee Bucks head to Minneapolis to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves in a match-up between two of the NBA’s most exciting young teams. NBA basketball is high intensity and a fantastic way to start off a weekend of sports.

If you’re looking to save that sporting energy for the weekend, here’s option number two. Experience Imagine Dragons live in Minneapolis who will perform along side Mura Masa and Machine Gun Kelly. The concert is set be one for the record books as Imagine Dragons take a detour on their European tour.

FRIDAY 2nd FEBRUARY

Friday is all about speed and wow factor with the choice of an intense NHL ice hockey game or one amazing artist to start off the weekend. The Minnesota Wild host the Las Vegas Golden Knights with the home town heroes looking to derail the white-hot NHL debutants. The Golden Knights have stunned NHL fans and teams alike in their inaugural season, currently sitting atop the Western Conference. Can the Wild halt the Las Vegas juggernaut and send their fans home happy?

If this game of speed is not your cup of tea, then let one of the best in the business put on an epic show for you as she performs live at the Nomadic Party. That’s right P!NK is heading for Minnesota for Super Bowl LII and we could not be more excited for those who choose to attend.
