W.A limited number of fans are allowed on Sundays Super Bowl LVCardboard cutouts were used to fill the void of those unable to attend the big game.
The game between Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs saw only 25,000 spectators inside the Raymond James Stadium in Florida due to COVID protocols.

Among those, it seems, were players from Barcelona and Real Madrid Antoine Griezmann and Marcelo, the cutouts of which could be seen in the stands.
“Only the popcorn is missing,” Marcelo wrote on Instagram before the contest.
Once it’s done, Marcelo posted another photo, dressed in Tom Brady’s autographed shirt.
Griezmann is also a well-known fan, leaving his message before the big game.
“Thank you NFL for ‘inviting’ me to tomorrow’s game!” the Frenchman posted on Twitter, with a video showing his cardboard image in the stadium.
