Travis Kelce grabbed attention for splurging on a private suite for the 2024 Super Bowl. The jaw-dropping cost of the exclusive box seats surfaced during a talk with George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers on Netflix’s “Receiver” series, which premiered recently.
Kelce unveiled the eye-watering price of the suite, stating, “They’re f-king three million dollars.” This hefty amount was enough to deter Kittle from following suit. “It’s like, ‘You guys are gonna be fine,'” Kittle remarked about his family’s arrangements.
Prior to the Super Bowl, Kelce amusingly shared on his “New Heights” podcast that he was meticulously keeping track of his Super Bowl expenditures. “I’m tallying up how much I’m spending on this darn Super Bowl for family and friends,” he mentioned, highlighting his efforts to handle the considerable financial commitment.
Kelce foots the bill for the suite personally
As per TMZ, the 34-year-old Kelce was personally covering the expenses for the suite at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The choice to book the suite came after his mother, Donna Kelce, hinted on the “Today” show that she might end up sitting in the stands due to the extravagant costs. “Well, you can understand that the boxes in Vegas are multi-million dollars, so I have a feeling I’m not in a box,” she mentioned. “As far as I know, I’m in the stands with everyone else because it is a pricey Super Bowl.”
Despite the financial strain, Kelce‘s suite attracted a star-studded crowd. Celebrities like Taylor Swift, Donna Kelce, Kelce’s brother Jason Kelce, Blake Lively, Ice Spice, Keleigh Teller (wife of actor Miles Teller), Cara Delevingne, and Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes were in attendance.
Interestingly, not all NFL players faced such exorbitant costs for their Super Bowl suites. According to Kelce and Kittle, Christian McCaffrey managed to secure a “nice deal” on a suite for his now-wife Olivia Culpo and their family.
Kelce’s extravagant spending highlights the high stakes and star-studded environment of the Super Bowl, where the game itself is merely one aspect of the extravaganza.
