The Super Bowl is a new national holiday.
This year Super Bowl 50 has the Carolina Panthers, led by the touchdown dabber Cam Newton, and the Denver Broncos, led by Peyton Manning, who is on the verge of retiring.
Lisa Kephart, the BASD Administrative Assistant for Business and HR, is one of the true Bronco’s fans at B-A who will be cheering on Peyton Manning this weekend.
It’s a lot of fun if your team is playing for the ultimate championship.
Senior Jake MCaulley, invested as a Broncos fan, said simply, “I’ll be sitting at home and watching the game with the legend Shannon McCaulley (his dad).”
Problems of Democracy teacher Ms. Andrea Brant is a major Broncos fan. She loves Peyton Manning and said she will be watching the game at home.
But what do you do if your team isn’t in the Super Bowl? Some people just sit at home and watch the game with family. Some people go out and party hard and others just watch the commercials.
That’s what Junior Sawyer Kline intends to do.
Sawyer said “I’m going to sit on his couch with my dog, Bob, and eat chips and dip.”
According to last year’s report from NBC found in the Wall Street Journal, it cost $4.5 million just for thirty seconds of ad time. For an advertiser it’s worth it because over 114.4 million viewers in the United States tune in.
“It’s my favorite holiday!” said Ms. Pecile. A Colts fan, she says that the Super Bowl is the biggest TV event of the year.
“I just want to be a part of it,” she said.
There are plenty of other options.
Mr. Burch and Zach Taylor are going parties at friends’ houses. Nathan Davis will be hanging out with friends and family. Blair Poorman is throwing a party.
Assistant Principal Ms. Adams said she is sad because the Super Bowl means the end of the football season. She’ll watch the game at home, make a couple pizzas, and watch the halftime show.
