Super Bowl 60 had all the glitz and drama you'd expect from the NFL’s biggest stage - but for fans in the stands, the price of admission was a whole story of its own. Even the so-called "cheap seats" were anything but.
Upper-deck tickets at Levi’s Stadium were going for around $3,400 a pop, and that was just for the view from Section 207 - a spot so high up, you'd be forgiven for thinking you needed FAA clearance to sit there. Forget front-row action; fans up there were lucky if they could spot the ball without binoculars.
And the sticker shock didn’t stop at the ticket counter. Parking alone cost $400, and concession prices?
Let’s just say you could drop the cost of a nice dinner on a couple of stadium hot dogs and a beer. It’s a reminder that while the Super Bowl is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, it often comes with a price tag that feels just as legendary.
But for Seahawks fans, every penny was worth it.
Seattle came into the game as 4.5-point favorites over the New England Patriots - a line that, in retrospect, might’ve been too kind to New England. The Seahawks defense came out firing and never let up, sacking rookie quarterback Drake Maye six times and forcing three turnovers. One of those takeaways turned into a scoop-and-score that effectively iced the game in the fourth quarter, putting the exclamation point on a dominant defensive performance.
On the offensive side, Kenneth Walker III ran like a man on a mission. He racked up 135 rushing yards and earned Super Bowl MVP honors in the process, showcasing the kind of burst and power that’s made him a cornerstone of Seattle’s offense. He hit the holes with purpose, wore down the Patriots' front seven, and controlled the tempo from start to finish.
Then there was Sam Darnold - the veteran quarterback whose journey has taken more twists than a playoff thriller. On the biggest stage of his career, Darnold delivered mistake-free football.
No turnovers, no panic, just smart, efficient play. It was the kind of performance that doesn’t always make the highlight reels, but it wins championships.
For Darnold, it was a full-circle moment - a redemption arc that ended with a Lombardi Trophy in his hands.
And for the Seahawks franchise? This one had extra meaning.
It’s been 11 years since that infamous goal-line interception in Super Bowl XLIX - a moment that haunted Seattle fans for over a decade. Sunday night, they finally got their revenge.
Not just by beating the Patriots, but by dominating them in a rematch that felt like it had been simmering for years.
So yes, the fans in Section 207 might’ve needed binoculars. But they also got to witness history - and for Seahawks Nation, that view was priceless.
