The Super Bowl is one of the greatest events in American sports. It brings together friends, families and fans for three-and-a-half hours as the two best teams square off in the most-watched television event of the year.

For Super Bowl LI, every fan in attendance will receive a small America flag under their seats to wave during the national anthem and “America the Beautiful.”

This is a fitting way for the NFL to show its patriotism in the biggest game of 2017.
