Telemundo Deportes Grabs Exclusive Spanish-Language Rights of Super Bowl LVI

Date

Some people seem to have assumed the game will be Feb 6. But if there is a 17-game schedule, it will be pushed off one week. I think we need to keep it TBD until the NFL makes a decision, or until schedules are released in April. Jdavi333 (talk) 15:59, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jdavi333, Thank you for the decision. I reverted several edits and will place a TBD on the infobox(es) until said date is confirmed. –Piranha249 (Discuss with me) 02:38, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-game ceremonies

What I'm hoping is at this year's Super Bowl pre-game ceremonies, Olivia Rodrigo sings "America the Beautiful" and Brendon Urie sings "The Star-Spangled Banner". By the way, when are the pre-game singers usually announced?72.92.40.56 (talk) 20:48, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Super Bowl LVI Halftime show page

Is anyone gonna make a page on this Super Bowl's halftime show? I'm curious because the past 11 have had one, and I am definitely not qualified to make it. ObeseFriedChicken (talk) 22:15, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Analysts

Tony Romo not Collinsworth 74.140.250.255 (talk) 02:36, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The game's on NBC and not CBS, so I find that doubtful. --Kinu ^t/_c 07:33, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is this the first Super Bowl where a starting player is older than both head coaches?

I realized that Rams tackle Andrew Whitworth (who ironically also played for the Bengals) is older than both Sean McVay and Zac Taylor. Is this the first time a starting player is older than both head coaches in a Super Bowl? I haven't seen any articles to confirm this. Bluerules (talk) 22:19, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relevance of 2028 Olympic Games

He plans to anchor the Games from Beijing through February 10, after which he will fly back to Los Angeles for the Super Bowl, and anchor the Games' primetime coverage remotely from a studio outside SoFi Stadium (which will be one of the main venues of the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles) from February 11.

Is this relevant to note? I don't think it's noteworthy to note that SoFi Stadium is to be used for a future Olympic game for an article pertaining to the Super Bowl. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 20:00, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, this content adds no value to the article about Super Bowl LVI, which is why I removed it on 2 February. However, later that day a veteran editor restored that content, despite admitting it was "trivial." Pinging @ViperSnake151: for further comment. Frank Anchor 20:27, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I said it may seem trivial, but I feel it's notable, given that this will be only the second venue in the entire country (besides Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum) to have hosted both the Super Bowl and the Olympics. ViperSnake151 Talk 20:32, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

IMO, this content (SoFi scheduled to become just the second U.S. venue to host both the Super Bowl and Olympics) would be more relevant in the "Host selection process" section, not the TV section. Zzyzx11 (talk) 12:52, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm. For now, I moved this to Super Bowl LVI#Host selection process. SoFi Stadium would be the logical place for this, but it may be useful here as well. More thoughts? Facts707 (talk) 06:58, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I admit that I was about to remove this myself, but coincidentally saw the discussion pop up on my watchlist. As written, it seems like a trivial factoid (I mean, it wouldn't even be the first in its city... well, metropolitan area, if we're being pedantic... to host both), and if it belongs anywhere it would at the article about the stadium. Here, though, it just seems like a non sequitur factoid. --Kinu ^t/_c 07:31, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 14 February 2022

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Super Bowl LVI. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

This is the second super bowl where the nfc team has hosted and won the super bowl. The nfc buccaneers did it last year in their stadium 107.127.39.1 (talk) 03:09, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rams aren't first NFC team to play Super Bowl in their home stadium. Bucs are NFC too.

Like above, the Buccaneers played Super Bowl LV in their home stadium, and they're also NFC. Maybe it's referring to the Rams being the first team play the Super Bowl as the visiting team at their own stadium? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:14E:4180:2250:0:0:0:CA24 (talk) 03:11, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Someone added that about the consecutive "home Super Bowls"but another edit removed it. It should appear somewhere in the article. Dfoofnik (talk) 03:24, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Defensive player column

I've looked at different super bowl pages and have noticed that the defensive player positions included vary from page to page (Super Bowl 50 has a WCB position but Super Bowl XLV does not). I feel like the positions aren't specific enough but I don't know what I should base them off of. Ram P. (talk) 03:44, 14 February 2022 (UTC)VirusesSuck44 22:44, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
