Read the article about Super Bowl Geography and answer the following:
a. Suggest ways Super Bowl 52 in Minneapolis can be a net benefit to the
state of Minnesota and/or the US in the following areas:
i. Economics: Estimated $600 million in benefits.
ii. Culture: Football in the US is a huge part of the lives of
everyone; 111.5 million people watch the Super Bowl; the
commercials and halftime show are a huge thing for everyone,
even those who dont watch football.
iii. Energy: This years Salt River Project used high power wind
energy to light up the stadium; the Super Bowl is another way to
show off environmentally friendly energy sources; watching the
Super Bowl = less household appliances used = less energy
consumed per household.

outside of the US watch the Super Bowl, the United States can
show a side of itself that doesnt relate to the militarily or
corporations.
