How to run this board

Every Super Bowl party has two crowds: the people there for the game and the people there for the commercials and halftime show. This board covers both, with columns on Super Bowl history, legendary quarterbacks, coaches and dynasties, halftime shows, famous commercials, and football rules and lingo.

Play it before kickoff, during pregame, or at halftime if the room prefers to talk over the show. Everyone buzzes in from their phones, so nobody has to leave the snack table.

Hosting tip: split teams by who each guest is rooting for. It gives the game an early rivalry, and the Final Jeopardy wagers get more interesting once the real score is on the line too.
