The Lombardi Trophy stays in the Super Bowl LV host city

When the Vince Lombardi Trophy arrived at the Super Bowl LV host city Tampa, it was either for a temporary or a permanent stay after the decisive game Sunday, February 8, 2021. The Lombardi Trophy was delivered to the Super Bowl LV NFL Experience Friday, January 29 with an honorary virtual presentation by NFL Hall of Famer, Super Bowl XXXVII Champion, and former Tampa Bay Buccaneer Derrick Brooks.


The Trophy remained on display for fans to see through Saturday, February 6 at Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park during the Super Bowl LV NFL Experience hours of operation. The trophy was first awarded January 15, 1967 to the Green Bay Packers who defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 35 - 10 during Super Bowl I.

After the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win in 2020, they were vying for another win in 2021. But it wasn't their fate this year. It was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers time to win the 55th Super Bowl, played in their own town and at their own home game stadium. The Buccaneers won 31 - 9. It took Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, and team work to win and keep the Lombardi Trophy in its permanent home Tampa, Florida.

Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in winning Super Bowl LV, despite Covid-19, all the necessary safety measures were in place at all events and at the game but fans wanted to be a part of history in the making before and after the game. A stadium that can hold up to 75,000, only seated 25,000 of which 7,500 were selected vaccinated healthcare workers and 50,000 cut outs at a cost of $100 each. The lowest Super Bowl attendance in the history of NFL. In addition, all in attendance had their temperature taken. 

Super Bowl LVI will be at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA, originally Super Bowl LV was supposed to be in Inglewood but due to stadium issues it was changed to Tampa, on February 6, 2022. Hopefully no pandemic will be around so all can enjoy the Super Bowl and have a full audience attendance.
