Tom Brady\u2019s wife and children left him home alone, meaning 12 days of solitude<\/a> leading up to the big game. Staff at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa have been diligently putting the final touches on their display and infrastructure. The Weeknd<\/strong><\/a> is preparing his pipes for a stellar half-time performance. And countless other celebrities, sportscasters, coaches, and performers are putting in the extra effort to ensure they\u2019re ahead of the game (pun intended).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event planning industry should be approaching Super Bowl LV\u2014 this monumental cultural phenomenon which has come to transcend football\u2014 with the same level of preparation. If we don\u2019t, we risk being caught off guard by up and coming stars like the 49ers’ Katie Sowers<\/strong><\/a> or celebrities skyrocketing their demand with viral ads like Bryan Cranston<\/strong><\/a> in Mountain Dew\u2019s Shining<\/em> parody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the other 162.9 million estimated to have watched the live broadcast, the sportscasters and commentators were an essential part of their experience. It\u2019s the biggest stage for these media professionals, and a solid performance can easily change a career or cement a legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Super Bowl LV will be broadcast live by CBS. Jim Nantz, Tony Romo<\/strong><\/a>, Tracy Wolfson and Jay Feely<\/strong><\/a> will be on the call for the CBS broadcast. Notably, Romo is also set to appear in a Sketchers ad in which he and his wife Candice Crawford<\/strong><\/a> take everything \u201cto the max.\u201d The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback, who has already become widely popular in his relatively short broadcast career thanks to his technical insight and apt predictions, also appeared in a Super Bowl ad campaign for the company in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commercial comeups<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to a 2019 survey, about 20 percent of people say they only watch the Super Bowl for the commercials.
