More than 70,000 fans were in attendance to watch the Kansas City Chiefs top the Philadelphia Eagles to become the winners of Super Bowl LVII. Not only did more people watch the game in person this year, but more people also watched at home.

Some 113 million people reportedly tuned in to the game, marking a 1% rise from last year and the highest figure in 6 years. In fact, it was the third-most viewed TV program of all time, trailing only the 2015 Super Bowl (114.4 million) and the 2017 Super Bowl (113.7 million).

• Top brand by W-O-M lift: E-Trade. E-Trade was one of the big winners of the Super Bowl, according to Engagement Labs, which measured lift in both offline and online conversations compared to the pre-game period.

Other brands fared better in generating online buzz than offline conversations: Pepsi Zero Sugar scored an impressive +3,000% lift in online social buzz, and while that far outpaced its offline W-O-M lift, the latter was still high at 300%. By contrast, Crown Royal generated a more than 3,000% lift in online buzz, but had a neutral change in offline conversations. Source: Engagement Labs.
