00:00 When it comes to the Super Bowl, everything is big. Big plays, big names, and big, big money.
00:05 This year's game is being held in Las Vegas, and according to WalletHub,
00:09 that city will see an estimated $1.1 billion impact for the local economy.
00:14 If you're hoping to snag a last-minute ticket to the big game,
00:17 you better be prepared to open up your wallet. The average price of a ticket to Super Bowl 58
00:22 on the resale market is over $10,000, an incredible 93% increase from last year.
00:29 Watching at home? Well, those 30-second commercials you see cost advertisers $7 million
00:34 just to be included in Sunday's lineup. Another aspect of the Super Bowl that gets
00:39 big attention, of course, parties. More than 112 million Americans plan on either throwing
00:45 or attending a Super Bowl party on Sunday. That's almost one-third of the entire country.
00:50 And aside from the game itself, Super Bowl parties, of course, are all about the food.
00:54 WalletHub is predicting 1.45 billion pounds of chicken wings will be eaten on game day,
01:00 as will 11 million pounds of potato chips and 250 million pounds of avocados.
01:05 And of course, to wash it all down, Americans will spend about $1 billion on beer,
01:10 with another $517 million on soft drinks.
