As the city of Las Vegas gets ready to host the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers at the Las Vegas Raiders’ stadium in Super Bowl LVIII, football fans were reminded of the Denver Broncos’ win in Super Bowl 50.
The “Sphere,” which is 15 minutes from the Raiders’ stadium, displayed the Broncos’ Super Bowl 50 ring on Tuesday evening. Vic Lombardi of AltitudeTV caught the moment on video and shared it on his Twitter/X page:
It usually costs a half-million dollars to advertise on the Sphere.
I believe the @broncos got this one gratis. pic.twitter.com/9uj4bgeAWJ— Vic Lombardi (@VicLombardi) February 7, 2024
While it’s humorous to see Denver’s latest Super Bowl ring displayed in a rival’s city, it wasn’t a prank orchestrated by the Broncos.
The NFL struck a deal with the Sphere for Super Bowl week and the league has been displaying rings from various past title winners. Even with that being the case, it’s still funny to see Denver’s ring getting shown off in Las Vegas.
The Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers 24-10 in Super Bowl 50 following the 2015 season. The Raiders last won a title in 1984.
You knew this was coming.
