Super Bowl food, snacks & appetizers recipes to enjoy the game

The countdown is on until the 55th Super Bowl, Tampa Bay Buckaneers face off against the reigning champions the Kansas City Chiefs in the super bowl on Sunday 7 February.

The Bucs survived a second-half resurgence from the Green Bay Packers to win the NFC Championship and punch their ticket to the Super Bowl, where they will be the first team to contend for the Lombardi Trophy in their home stadium.

The Chiefs reached the showpiece for the second straight season after an impressive performance at Arrowhead Stadium in the AFC Championship Game against the Buffalo Bills.

Just like your own coronavirus-friendly at-home gathering, the number of fans allowed to attend will be less than half the capacity at the Raymond James Stadium.

The official attendance for Super Bowl LV will be under 25,000 fans and 30,000 cutouts, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. The league has given 7,500 tickets to vaccinated health care workers. Another 14,500 seats will be sold to fans who won’t be required to be inoculated or tested before entering the stadium, and another 2,700 fans will sit in luxury boxes.

Every fan attending the game will receive a kit that includes personal protective equipment, including a KN95 mask and hand sanitizer.
