Alas, the San Diego Chargers’ bid for an appearance in Super Bowl XLVIII has been dashed after having been eliminated by the Denver Broncos in the playoffs 24-17, but that doesn’t mean we still can’t enjoy the Super Bowl (or at least try).
So, to get you prepared for this year’s Super Sunday extravaganza, which will be played on February 2 at the New York/New Jersey MetLife Stadium, the Jurewitz Law Group Injury & Accident Lawyers has gathered some very important facts about the Super Bowl Sunday that you may not know.
- The average number of people at a Super Bowl party is 17.
- One out of every 12 people who watch the Super Bowl only watch it for the commercials.
- 1.23 billion chicken wings are consumed on Super Bowl Sunday. That adds up to 100 million pounds of chicken.
- Not surprisingly, the average Super Bowl viewer will consume 1,200 calories while snacking.
- 48 million Americans will order takeout or delivery on Super Bowl Sunday and 51.7 million cases of beer will be sold.
