MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. (WSVN) - The Super Bowl is just 12 days away, and Hard Rock Stadium is getting a makeover for the big game.
7SkyForce HD flew over the stadium where the pink “SUPER BOWL LIV” sign sits over the entrance and the field has been painted with the Super Bowl and NFL 100 logos.
“We do not hold back when it comes to creating a once in a lifetime experience,” said NFL Director of Events Nicki Ewell.
Representations of the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers could be seen all over the stadium.
“You’ll see very large graphics throughout the city with the quarterbacks, of course,” said Ewell.
From the halftime show to the fireworks, the NFL is sparing no expense when it comes to the world class entertainment they have planned.
“The beautiful white spires on top of the building,” said Ewell. “We’re going to have a hologram that’s going to debut here.”
Crews continue to work on one of the biggest stars of the game — the field — to ensure it’s ready for the big showdown.
“This field was specifically grown for Super Bowl,” said NFL Senior Director of Event Operations Eric Finkelstein. “We feel that it’s going to do what it should and that is perform at the highest level for our biggest game of the year.”
Both teams will also be represented in the end zones with their logos painted on the field.
Verizon plans to have everything in place so that the thousands of fans can post their pictures and videos without a problem.
The company has invested tens of millions of dollars installing 5G and wireless internet throughout the stadium and the city.
“The most important thing is that when you go to use your phone, it works,” said Verizon Director of Network Operations Sergei Mislevy.
Fans who have season passes or are lucky enough to have bought tickets to the Super Bowl will see that the stadium won’t look the same as it has when they go to Dolphins games.
The big question of who’s going to win is still a guess among fans.
At the Miami Seaquarium, according to a nurse shark, one team has a solid chance.
“He predicted San Francisco,” said Julie Heyde.
The NFL said there is still a lot of work left to get done, not just at the stadium but all throughout South Florida.
There will be new billboards and posters to commemorate the 11th record breaking Super Bowl.
Super Bowl 54 airs live on Channel 7 on Sunday, Feb. 2.
