With more and more players in the league openly speaking about their investments in NFTs, the NFL itself is not getting left behind as they too have now embraced the trend. Indeed fans who attend the Super Bowl will receive their very own NFT version of their ticket.

To enter the stadium on game day can quite often cost those who go, thousands of dollars. Needless to say, the lucky ones who do get to see NFL’s biggest game are part of an exclusive club. Interestingly, that club it seems is about to get a whole lot more exclusive as the NFL announced that at this year’s Super Bowl, it will be attaching a personalized non-fungible tokens (NFT) to all tickets which will be customized with their seat number.

It’s worth noting that this is not the league’s first attempt at utilizing NFTs where tickets are concerned but it will without doubt be the one that garners most interest. Back in November the NFL began the distribution of such tokens to fans who purchased their tickets for select games through SeatGeek, StubHub, or Ticketmaster. The league distributed a total of 250,000 overall at the time. Of course could be forgiven for questioning whether or not this is worth all the fuss, but the simple answer would be yes. There is a growing market for NFTs and especially amongst professional athletes and fans alike.
