The designated home team for the Super Bowl alternates between the AFC and NFC champions each year, and that team gets to wear their home jersey and use the host team’s practice facility.
This year the Chiefs have the honour so will play in red today and this week they trained at the Las Vegas Raiders’ base in Henderson, the suburb which Raiders player Jermaine Eluemunor calls home.
Asked how Vegas has been this week, he said: “Pretty hectic. There’s been a lot of people, a lot of celebrities – it’s been dope, for sure.”
Normally the Super Bowl takes over the host city but asked how this week compared to a normal week in Vegas, Jermaine added: “It’s maybe 2% crazier, but Vegas is a pretty crazy city.
“We live in Henderson so we don’t have to deal with all the craziness that Vegas brings, day to day. But whenever you want a taste of the craziness we can easily drive 15 minutes to the Strip and you’re good to go!”
As for the atmosphere at Allegiant Stadium, he said it’s “pretty freaking hectic!!”
