Super Bowl LV Set: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Will Battle The Kansas City Chiefs
Super Bowl 55 – or LV, if you’re fond of Roman numerals – now has its two contenders. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will face off against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, February 7 at Raymond James Field in Tampa.
The game promises to be one for the ages, and marks the first time a team (Tampa) will be playing in the Super Bowl at its home field. That’s not quite the advantage it would have been, since only about 22,000 fans will be allowed to attend the Big Game, due to the pandemic.
