Super Bowl Sunday Traditions

Every year since 1967 Americans come together to watch the Super Bowl. A football game consisting of the top two teams in America.
On February 13, at 4:30 pm the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals will be going head to head to be the winner of the 2022 Super Bowl.
With the Super Bowl being a big event in America it gets millions of viewers which starts lots of fun and cool traditions. Junior Parker Christenson enjoys making Wingers quesadillas.
“Because Wingers closed down we looked up the Wingers recipe for their chicken quesadillas and we started making them ourselves. So every Super Bowl we will make a big bowl of cilantro and a bunch of ingredients and make our own Wingers quesadillas with different sauces and everything,” Christenson said.
Not only can you recreate food restaurant items but you can also re-create things with food like football stadiums with friends and family. Senior Noah Ingram has some super fun traditions with his extended family.
“We have a party with our extended family in the area with lots of food. We have a stadium made of wood that we put the food in. We also gamble a little bit with a pot of money based on the scores of each quarter,” Ingram said.
There are multiple food choices for the Super Bowl foods to add into your traditions. The classic chicken wings, pizza, dips are the most popular. Junior Eliza Anderson shares her fun foods she eats every Super Bowl Sunday.
“We make tons of food,” Anderson said. “My mom makes a 7 layer bean dip and then pigs in a blanket.”
Not only can the food make the Super Bowl fun but all the people you party with can make it just as excited if not more. Junior Josh Stapelman spends the day spending time with his family.
“All of my cousins will come around and we will watch it together,” Stapelman said. “I just like being around cousins and people.”
The half time show is also a big deal that is involved in the game.
“I make fun of the half time performances at the Super Bowl. I think they’re pretty funny to watch,” Christenson said. “I will make fun of the dances in skanky material and say I can dance better than that and then I do a body roll in my own household, it’s pretty cute to be honest.”
The Super Bowl halftime show is a performance that you can count on watching every year. This year, the performers will be Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Mary J Blige, and Kendrick Lamar. They’ve gotten a lot of hype and anxious fans waiting for them to perform. Junior Hayden Telford states what he thinks of the performance.
“I don’t like the half time shows in the past but this year I’m really excited because it’s Snoop Dogg and Dr. Drake, along with Eminem so it should be really good,” Telford said.
With the Super Bowl being on Sunday some say it’s hard to find the energy to wake up early for work Monday morning. Because of that, there has been a position in Palm Bay Florida getting signatures to move the Super Bowl to Saturday. Junior Chloe Tanner would rather keep the Super Bowl on Sunday.
“Definitely Sunday,” Tanner said. “That’s when most people can watch and it’s when most football games are.”
