Ahhh, Super Bowl Sunday. The best day of the year for some, and the most heartbreaking for others.
This year’s game will take place on Sunday, February 3 at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Kickoff for the the Los Angeles Rams + the New England Patriots is at 6:30 p.m. At halftime: Maroon 5, Travis Scott, and ATL native Big Boi (formerly of Outkast).
