The days leading up to Super Bowl LIV in Miami, where the San Francisco 49ers would face off against the Kansas City Chiefs, was a succession of lavish, celebrity-studded parties all around the city.
There were concerts by Lady Gaga and Maroon 5, and there was Shaq’s Fun House, a “part festival, part carnival, part circus” party hosted by NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal that featured performances by artists like Diddy, Pitbull, DaBaby, and Diplo, as well as carnival rides and circus performers. Recently retired NFL star Rob “Gronk” Gronkowski hosted a beach party.
But one of the premiere events of the weekend was Sports Illustrated’s part at the iconic Fontainebleau hotel on Miami Beach, where more than 2,000 people were expected to attend. Tickets for the party started at $500, while VIP tickets cost $999 for an open bar, VIP Table tickets with “premium bottle service” started at $20,000.
Less than two weeks before the Super Bowl, I got a last-minute press pass to attend the party, where I rubbed shoulders with celebrities, athletes, and musicians, from rapper Lil Jon to Yankees player Aaron Judge and baseball legend Sammy Sosa. The CEO of Goldman Sachs, David Solomon, was one of the DJs, and artists including Black Eyed Peas, Marshmello, and DaBaby performed.
Here’s what it was like to attend the star-studded Miami Super Bowl party.
