After 272 regular season games and 12 pulsating playoff encounters, two teams still dream of Super Bowl glory. The focus now shifts to the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, which is staging Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, February 9. This year, the Philadelphia Eagles face off against last year's winners Kansas City Chiefs.
It will be the eighth Super Bowl played at the Superdome. It’s also the 11th time New Orleans has staged the NFL’s curtain-closer, meaning that ‘The Big Easy’ joins Miami at the top of the city-hosting table. New Orleans had been due to host the main event last year, but game day conflicted with the world-famous Mardi Gras, so they were given a year to fine-tune their Super Bowl plans.
The last Super Bowl held in New Orleans was Super Bowl XLVII, played on February 3, 2013, between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers. The "Harbaugh Bowl" featured two brothers coaching against each other: Jim with the 49ers and John with the Ravens. Despite a late-quarter rally by San Francisco, the 49ers fell short, losing 34-31, as Baltimore won its second Super Bowl championship ever.
It has been suggested that the term ‘Super Bowl’ was first used in the mid-1960s by the then-owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, Lamar Hunt, who stated that the name was likely prominent in his mind because his children had been playing with a Super Ball toy. The term ‘bowl’ originated from the Rose Bowl stadium, the site of the first postseason college football games in the 20th century. It took its bowl-shaped design from the Yale Bowl, which was the prototype for many football stadiums in the United States.

Unfortunately for Lamar Hunt and his Kansas City Chiefs, they would be beaten 35-10 by the Green Bay Packers. The Packers would defend their crown the following year, led by the legendary Vince Lombardi, now named after the Super Bowl trophy. All games since 1971's Super Bowl V have been played between the best team from each of the two conferences, with the AFC and NFC currently tied at 27 wins. Regarding successful teams, the New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers remain the all-time best Super Bowl outfits, with six wins each.

What is the Super Bowl 2025 halftime show?
Getty Images Unfortunately for Baltimore fans, their star quarterback, Lamar Jackson, won't be in action at Super Bowl LIX, as the Ravens bowed out during the Divisional round of the playoffs. However, another famous Lamar will star at the NFL's showpiece in New Orleans.
At the beginning of September, it was announced that rapper Kendrick Lamar would be the headline act at this year’s halftime show. Lamar is not a Super Bowl newcomer, as he was also involved at the Super Bowl LVI halftime show three years ago, where he performed alongside Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Mary J. Blige. The show was acclaimed critically, and Lamar’s performance stood out.
The list of pre-game performers was announced in late November. Jon Batiste will perform the U.S. national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner." Batiste, a native of New Orleans, has won five Grammys and one Academy Award for his work as a singer, songwriter, and composer. Additional pre-game acts include Trombone Shorty performing “America the Beautiful” alongside Christian music singer Lauren Daigle and a performance of "Lift Every Voice and Sing" by artist Ledisi.
