When the New England Patriots face the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl, millions will watch the game. But many fans will also look toward the stands. Specifically, they’ll watch the Super Bowl luxury suites, where celebrities and billionaires gather. This has become “an event within the event.”
Simon David, managing director of Confirmed360, confirms this trend. In recent years, stars like Taylor Swift, Kendall Jenner, and Travis Scott have appeared in these skyboxes. Tech leaders such as Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk also attend regularly. Billionaire Michael Rubin even hosts his own mini White Party, filling his suite with famous guests.
However, booking a Super Bowl luxury suite isn’t easy. Unlike regular games, the NFL controls at least half of Levi’s Stadium’s 174 suites. Three-fourths of those must sit between the end zones, per a 2013 agreement. These go to sponsors, team owners, or league partners. So access is extremely limited—and fiercely competitive.
Because of this, wealthy fans often use premium concierge services. Companies like Confirmed360 and Suite Experience Group secure suites through private networks. Then they resell them to elite clients—at a very high cost.
“This year, prices are right around the million-dollar mark,” says Scott Spencer, founder of Suite Experience Group. He adds that inventory remains scarce. Prices haven’t dropped as the game approaches.
So what does a million dollars get you? Guests enter a private, wood-paneled suite. It feels more like a luxury apartment than a stadium box. At its center sits a floating island for dining and socializing. Populous, the stadium’s architecture firm, designed it carefully.
Wesley Crosby, a senior principal at Populous, explains their process. The team debated table heights extensively. They chose bar-height for better interaction. “It allowed the most natural conversation,” he says.
Surprisingly, these suites lack en suite restrooms. “We chose not to include them,” Crosby admits. He notes this is a common debate in luxury design.
Still, the suites make up for it with exceptional food and drink. The 49ers co-owners, Jenna and Mara York, infused their wine passion into the redesign. Their Napa Valley roots shaped the experience. Menus feature Smith & Hook Cabernet Sauvignon, prime beef tenderloin, panzanella salad, and even chicken tenders with bang-bang sauce.
At halftime—when Bad Bunny performs—guests may skip the show. Instead, they enjoy the “Ultimate Omakase Sushi Experience.” Staff also serve Japanese-inspired treats like Taiyakis, sweet fish-shaped pastries.
The guest mix is often unexpected. Last year in New Orleans, content creator Chenelle Montgomery saw Nick Cannon, Gordon Ramsay, Rob Lowe, and Jon Hamm in a nearby suite. “That is the most random mix of people,” she said.
Not everyone stays for the full game. Early exits happen often—but aren’t always welcome. During the Patriots’ 2017 comeback, Mark Wahlberg, Jon Bon Jovi, and Elton John left Robert Kraft’s suite at halftime. The team was down by 18 points then. Hollywood agent Ari Emanuel called it “so upsetting” on his podcast.
In short, Super Bowl luxury suites blend exclusivity, celebrity culture, and top-tier hospitality. They offer more than a view of the field. For those who can afford it, the real spectacle may be off the field.
