True but there were 90,000+ fans in attendance probably close to 60,000 of which were Rams fans. in Tampa where will be 22,500 that will probably be a roughly even split.

True that.   And I think a third of the overall crowd are first responders/health care from all over?

 

The 1979 Superbowl was essentially a Rams home game

Amazing is all you can say about a group of 2m users in Reddit community (Wall Street bets)

I joined this weekend

They are leveraging and buying particular stocks on margin and sending their price to the moon.

GME was first target . Some made millions on Friday options and they sent this from 65 at close Friday to 125 high in this morning trading (before falling back to 95. GME was 18$ January 12 . 

They are hitting ticker symbols BB, And to lesser extent AMC , PLTR and Jay’s favorite CCIV 

Something has to give here 

I've been following WSB now for about 6 months.  The whole GME trade is hysterical to watch.   I hate Citron.  Said my beloved NVAX was worthless at $20 .

GTE today lol Went from 65 to 159 At 1030 then we’ll the market had a mini rug pull

at 1030 am there was a nice rug pull in FX and SPX that gutted speculation . Was fast . Raises my eyebrow .Would be a nice way to create margin calls and send WSB’s capital moving ability into something  less.  If not ,Something Is going to have to give somehow ...I mean 

A stock going from 15 to 150 in 2 months on no real news and 65 to 150 in a day

The Super Bowl is so corporate that there are hardly any fans in attendance even during a normal year.  It's usually people who like to be at an "event".  I'm not sure home field is all that much of an advantage for it.  I guess we will find out.

I think the advantage will be that TB players get to stay home and have a normal routine while KC has to fly down the day of the game due to covid.

I was going through old files today and found the attached letter from back in the 1980's.  I lived in Metro Boston at the time and was friends with some of the on air met's like Barry Burbank over at Channel 4,  Mark Rosenthal over at 5 and Harvey Leonard and Todd Gross at Ch 7.   Todd seemed to be the one that was always on the cutting edge of technology.  Other than TV or radio there was no way to get weather information unless  you  worked in the field.  Todd setup this hotline as outlined in this letter.   Todd was the one that introduced me to the new thing called the internet.  Phone lines were the only way to get online back then unless yo went to internet cafes.   I remember going down to Harvard Square and using Webcrawler one of the first internet search engines.  It was amazing to find dozens of links for weather information.  Before the current forums there were "usenet" groups.  Todd formed one called ne.weather.  Then came Eastern Weather and years later American Weather.  Those of you who are young just don't realize how little information there was.  When I was in collage I interned at the National Weather Service at BWI.  That was in 1978.  Even at the National Weather Bureau as it was called back then there was no radar, no satellite and just rudimentary weather models like the LFM that came over on dyefax machines.

NFL giving away 7500 SB tickets to vaccinated Health care workers 

14,500 additional tickets are being sold 

So there will be 22K in attendance or ..if that makes folks “jumpy” 28% of usual attendance 

Almost at the last minute, the old fellow from Maine got his ticket so he can keep alive his string of attending every SB.
