Fans continue to arrive at Raymond James Stadium for the Super Bowl

Fans continued to descend upon Raymond James Stadium as kickoff for Super Bowl LV got closer Sunday (7 February).

The game to be played Sunday in a one-third-full and socially distanced stadium and with millions of fingers crossed around the country. The NFL and society, in general, are hoping America's biggest sports celebration won't turn into the mother of superspreader events, either at the stadium or at the inevitable thousands of high-fiving, chip-dipping, hug-it-out Super Bowl parties planned across the land.

On the field, Tom Brady is looking to extend his record with a seventh Super Bowl title while Patrick Mahomes goes for the repeat and his second crown when Tampa Bay becomes the first team to play the big game on its home field against Kansas City.
