Super Bowl Sunday has become an American holiday as a quasi-religious and social gathering event

fans treat the day as a sacred ritual complete with superstitions like insisting on a lucky seat or not washing a jersey to preserve luck

traditions such as preparing their iconic dip and gathering around fellow fans bring the event out of TVs and into rooms and bars

wearing team colors and uniforms unites fans and serves as a symbolic talisman, offering a perceived boost to their luck despite having no measurable effect on the game's outcome

these practices, along with fervent predictions of the game's outcome, create a unique blend of loyalty and belief that elevates the event beyond just football
