The Super Bowl 50 was an American football game played at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California on February 7, 2016 to determine the champion of the National Football League (NFL). The American Football Conference (AFC) champions Denver Broncos defeated the National Football Conference (NFC) champions Carolina Panthers. CBS’ broadcast of the game was the third most-watched program in American television history with an average of 111.9 million viewers. The network charged an average of $5 million for a 30-second commercial during the game. It remains the highest-rated program in the history of CBS. The Super Bowl 50 halftime show was headlined by Coldplay, with special guest performers Beyoncé and Bruno Mars. As this was the 50th Super Bowl game, the league emphasized the “golden anniversary” with various gold-themed initiatives during the 2015 season, as well as suspending the tradition of naming each Super Bowl game with Roman numerals (under which the game would have been known as “Super Bowl L”), so the logo could prominently feature the Arabic numerals 50.
