第53届超级碗总决赛揭开战幕

CARL AZUZ: What football team has won the most Super Bowls? San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots¹, Pittsburgh Steelers or Dallas Cowboys? Only the Pittsburgh Steelers have won six Super Bowls. The other teams on this list have each won five.

Super Bowl LIII will be played right behind me here in Atlanta, Georgia this weekend. It is one of the most watched U.S. television events. As much as a third of the country is estimated to tune² in for the game. The National Retail³ Federation⁴, the U.S. trade association, estimates that Americans will spend almost $15 billion for the game, but that's not on tickets. It includes things like team clothing, decorations, new TVs, most of all, food.

The National Chicken Council says almost 1.4 billion chicken wings will be eaten this weekend. Frito-Lay expects that 80 percent of Americans will eat potato or tortilla chips while watching the game. Dominoes and Pizza Hut say they'll sell a combined total of 3.5 million pizzas on Super Bowl Sunday.

And if you are looking for a last minute ticket, prices on Thursday were between $2,500 for one nosebleed seat, and $14,000 for something close to the 50-yard line. Kickoff for the game between the Los Angeles Rams⁵ and the New England Patriots is scheduled for 6:30 pm.
