Everything you need to know about pricing, parking, and the Kendrick Lamar halftime show.
Dreaming of seeing the NFL’s biggest night live and in person? Super Bowl LIX is just around the corner, and if you’ve ever wanted to be part of football history, this might be your year. The 2025 game promises more than just a championship showdown — it’s set in electric New Orleans, with Kendrick Lamar headlining the halftime show and two powerhouse teams battling it out for glory.
Super Bowl LIX: What Makes This One Special?
Scheduled for February 9, 2025, at Caesars Superdome, this year’s Super Bowl will pit the Kansas City Chiefs against the Philadelphia Eagles — a rematch that has fans on edge. Can Patrick Mahomes lead the Chiefs to an unprecedented three-peat? Or will the Eagles’ ferocious defense and dynamic offense crash the party?
Kendrick Lamar Takes the Stage
Even those who don’t follow football are eyeing this event. Kendrick Lamar, the 17-time Grammy winner, will bring his hits — like “HUMBLE.” and “Money Trees” — to one of the world’s biggest stages. Apple Music has hinted that SZA will join as a guest, making this performance a can’t-miss cultural moment.
Where (and How) to Buy Tickets
If you’re scrambling to get in, you still have options. StubHub and Ticketmaster are the top choices for legit, last-minute tickets. Whether you’re aiming for upper-deck seats or dreaming of 50-yard-line views, these platforms ensure your passes are valid and arrive in time.
How Much Do Tickets Cost?
Let’s not sugarcoat it — these tickets come at a premium. As of now, entry-level seats are going for around $4,750, while lower-level views can climb above $8,000. However, prices have dipped since the playoffs began, so procrastinators might actually save a bit by waiting.
Can’t Make It in Person? Watch From Home
If attending in person isn’t in the cards, you can still catch all the action live. The game will be broadcast on Fox and streamed through Fubo and Hulu + Live TV. Break out the chips, dip, and bingo cards — your living room is the next best thing.
What to Expect at the Stadium
Heading to the Superdome? Here’s what you need to know before showing up at the gates — from security to parking to what you can (and can’t) bring.
Kickoff Time
The game starts at 6:30 P.M. ET / 3:30 P.M. PT, but be sure to arrive early. Jon Batiste will be singing the national anthem, and you’ll want time to get through security without missing a beat.
Parking Tips
Parking chaos is real — so pre-plan. Buy a parking pass through StubHub to secure a spot close to the stadium. Spots fill quickly, and prices go up as the game nears.
No Tailgating Allowed
Unfortunately, traditional tailgating won’t be allowed in the parking lot. That said, the party atmosphere around the Superdome will more than make up for it. Head down early to soak it all in.
Bag Policy: Know Before You Go
The NFL enforces a clear bag policy — no exceptions. Approved bags must be made of clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC and must not exceed 12 x 6 x 12 inches. Acceptable options include:
- Clear backpacks
- Transparent fanny packs
- Drawstring bags that meet size requirements
You can find compliant bags on Amazon or local sports retailers.
Other Stadium Rules to Keep in Mind
Don’t let small oversights ruin your Super Bowl experience. Here’s a quick checklist of what to expect at Caesars Superdome:
- Cashless environment: All purchases must be made with a card or digital wallet like Apple Pay or Google Pay.
- Mobile ticketing only: Printouts and screenshots won’t be accepted. Have your digital ticket ready.
- No reentry: Once you’re in, you’re in. Plan accordingly.
Looking Ahead
For future planners, here’s a peek at where the next Super Bowls are headed:
- 2026: Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California
- 2027: SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California
Whether you’re there for the football, the halftime show, or just the vibes — Super Bowl LIX will be an unforgettable event. Just make sure you’re ready.
