And there's no reason to change. $7 million for a 30-second commercial.

We enjoyed the hell out of it..I ignore halftime and pregame!**
HOKIERIT • 02/12/24 02:58 PM ET
are you a chiefs or 9ers fan? Because although it was a close game, it was
ModerateHokie • 02/12/24 05:07 PM ET
Nope..just a football fan. 1st half was great defense, 2nd half, fireworks**
HOKIERIT • 02/12/24 05:29 PM ET
Like any American holiday, the Super Bowl is only as good as the people you

Yeah, that fits. As I said, I can't put my finger on it exactly but

Its got a completely different feel from the rest of the season/playoffs
HokieNoVA • 02/12/24 11:00 AM ET
Anything on a neutral field or court is more stale

They SELL the spots every year. That is reason enough to charge that much**
HOKIERIT • 02/12/24 03:00 PM ET
Sort of like just having some former athletes in beer commercials...
EDGEMAN • 02/12/24 09:49 AM ET
yup I'm sure the NFL will take this feedback, fully consider changes, and

the halftime show is like when a band opens for SNL- or used to -
bigbadbird • 02/12/24 08:52 AM ET
Agree, but I don't recall the halftime show ever being good.
HokieNoVA • 02/12/24 08:37 AM ET
I'm sorry but I have seen some Halftime shows that were legendary.

KfgsHokie • 02/12/24 08:11 AM ET
Maybe it's you that's changed.

EDGEMAN • 02/12/24 09:51 AM ET
C'mon man. You know the SB follows a formula that hasn't changed in decades
ModerateHokie • 02/12/24 08:16 AM ET
Well obviously the vast majority of people don't agree with you
SteveInBaltimore • 02/12/24 12:58 PM ET
Not really the point**
ModerateHokie • 02/12/24 05:09 PM ET
well, in fairness, one is an American holiday that men, women, and children
