Super Bowl LII will take place on Sunday, Feb. 4, 2018, at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, the home of the Minnesota Vikings. The game will be played at 5:30 p.m. CST. While we won’t know until Jan. 21 who will go helmet-to-helmet because the NFL’s regular season isn’t quite over and the playoffs won’t begin until Jan. 13, there’s no reason we can’t put our itinerary together for the ancillary events that are in the works.

Here are our top five things to add to your list:


Opening Night fueled by Gatorade | Jan. 29, 2018
Be one of the first to see players and coaches of your Super Bowl teams address fans and thousands of media members after the teams arrive in Minnesota at Super Bowl Opening Night fueled by Gatorade on Monday, January 29 at Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Super Bowl Opening Night is a shift from the traditional Media Day held on Tuesday morning.


Taste of the NFL: The Party with a Purpose | Saturday, Feb. 3, 2018
The Taste of the NFL’s annual strolling wine and food event features a chef from each NFL city serving their signature dish alongside a current or alumni NFL player. The result?
