| 0:00.0 | Fresh grass has been laid and the Super Bowl trophy logos were painted on the field Tuesday. |
| 0:06.5 | Whether you're a football fan like me or you're just in it for the commercials or the |
| 0:10.4 | halftime show, you probably know that Super Bowl Sunday is just a few days away. |
| 0:16.2 | The reigning champions, the Kansas City Chiefs are going to head to Tampa, Florida for Super |
| 0:20.3 | Bowl 55, where they're going to face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a team that |
