Much like last season, the threat of a coronavirus outbreak still looms large. Super Bowl organizers have said that the show will go on despite the emergence of the omicron variant. Los Angeles County officials expect the stadium, which seats 70,000 plus, will be at max capacity for the event.

As of Dec. 15, fans ages 5 years and older attending SoFi Stadium must provide a proof of full vaccination or a negative PCR COVID test within 48 hours prior to the event and within 24 hours with an antigen test. Guests 18 years and older must have a photo I.D. and masks are required at all times unless eating or drinking.

Further explanation of the SoFi Stadium rules are on the stadium’s website.

Who will sing the national anthem?
