Matthew Stafford‘s wife explains big corporations are sucking the life out of the Super Bowl by buying up the suites and selling them for $2.5 million dollars, adding it’s destroying fan enthusiasm for the game.
The Super Bowl is the biggest game in the American sports calendar, perhaps only rivalled by the World Series, and attracts a global audience of around 300,000,000 spectators with a growing fan base in Europe too.
As the NFL continues to grow and enters a new age of modern popularity, there is one depressing side to American Football in 2025: the ticket prices. The cost of admission has now spiked to $150-$200 for a regular season ticket.

However, the Super Bowl has spiralled out of control and now finds itself faced with an average price of $8000, which can reach as high as $75,000 and this is something Kelly Stafford has called out.
“Super Bowl has become a big corporation event,” Kelly said via The Morning After the Car Seat Bet. “Big corporations are coming in and buying those suites.
“Suites in general are expensive. Honestly, though, $2.5 million is absolutely absurd. That’s crazy.”
No excuse to charge so high
The average American cannot possibly hope to afford a suite for the game, and Kelly even admits that it’s beyond the budget of her husband despite him being the starting quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams, on a $40m salary.
Earning the median American salary, it would take a person some 37 years to be able to afford one of the suites for Super Bowl LIX, which will be hosted at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
“I get it it’s a business,” Kelly‘s co-host, Hank, added. “At the same time those the many of the same fans that were there when you were 0-16.
“I understand they have to make money and an opportunity to be profitable, but they are also going to get a lot of money back through TV rights.
“I feel like putting it on loyal fans, that’s not necessarily the place you have to do it.”
