How many fans will be in attendance at the Super Bowl?
Located at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, Super Bowl LX will have the venue packed to the brim. The listed capacity for events such as a Super Bowl is 75,000 people. Since it is the biggest sporting event in the nation, expect Levi's Stadium to test that capacity limit to its full extent. They've even packed 80,000 people in Levi's Stadium for an Ed Sheeran concert, but that was without a full football field located smack-dab in the middle of the action.

Super Bowl national anthems of the past
We have seen some absolutely tremendous renditions of the national anthem over the past half-century or so. Whitney Houston 's performance of the song ahead of Super Bowl XXV back in 1991 stands above the rest. It came at a time when the United States found itself at war for the first time since Vietnam decades earlier and captivated the nation.
Mariah Carey's performance ahead of Super Bowl XXXVI between the then-St. Louis Rams and New England Patriots months after the September 11, 2001, attacks shook the world.
Super Bowl LV offered a fascinating mashup of genres from its dual performers who sang "The Star-Spangled Banner."

R&B artist Jazmine Sullivan teamed up with country music star Eric Church for a dynamic duet featuring some truly unique musical interplay. The arrangement itself, though, was a little too flashy, and unlike in the instances of the late, great Houston and Carey, the national anthem seems to be most effective oftentimes when it's performed in a straightforward fashion, as opposed to being too ornamental in its execution.
Whichever teams and performers take to the field at Allegiant Stadium on February 11, 2024, the venue itself should provide a beautiful backdrop for Super Bowl LVIII.
