The halftime show was to feature a performance of Sweet Victory as a tribute to SpongeBob SquarePants creator Stephen Hillenburg who died in November 2018 from ALS however a clip of Squidward introducing Travis Scott was used instead however the opening fanfare is heard.
Lowest scoring Super Bowl to date.
Ratings were the lowest for a Super Bowl in 11 years. Contributing factors included a general disinterest in the New England Patriots playing their 4th Super Bowl appearance in 5 years, low interest in the Los Angeles Rams, distaste with the NFL over poor officiating in the Conference Championship Games two weeks prior, and notably, the city of New Orleans along with most of the state of Louisiana refused to watch the game (largely due to their team, the New Orleans Saints losing the NFC Championship Game to the Rams in part due to the poor officiating).
