[M]This was the second time that a Super Bowl was played in Minneapolis[/M], the northernmost city to ever host the event, after Super Bowl XXVI at the Metrodome during the 1991 season.
Super Bowl LII was the 52nd edition of the National Football League (NFL) final. In the match, the Philadelphia Eagles crowned the 2017 NFL season champion, defeating the favorite New England Patriots. The game took place on February 4, 2018, at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This was the second Super Bowl held in this city, which previously hosted Super Bowl XXVI, in 1992. The game was televised on NBC in the United States.
The Super Bowl LII halftime show was in charge of American singer Justin Timberlake. The American national anthem was performed by singer Pink.
Super Bowl LII was the second final to pit the Eagles and Patriots face to face since 2004 when, in Super Bowl XXXIX, New England beat Philadelphia 24 to 21. The Eagles, who ended up winning the LII edition, have also gone to the Super Bowl on another occasion and ended up losing to the Oakland Raiders, in 1981, in the XV edition. This final even made the Patriots the first team to appear in two Super Bowls in a row since the Seattle Seahawks who did so in 2014 and 2015.
