Dan Smith, president of Legends Hospitality, said: “The buzz around the game and the city was incredible, with the home team playing and back to a full capacity Super Bowl. Our team worked around the clock to ensure an expedient, first-class experience for fans inside the stadium and at the retail locations throughout the city.”

Jason Gannon, managing director of SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park, added "We collaborated with Legends on our point-of-sale infrastructure from day one.

“For the Super Bowl, we added additional point-of-sale locations and provided multiple types of access points throughout the building and across the Hollywood Park campus for food, beverage, and merchandise. This allowed us to operate for the NFL at the highest level and create an unforgettable Super Bowl experience for guests at SoFi Stadium,".

Legends was the NFL’s official retail merchandise concessionaire for Super Bowl LVI. In addition to the main NFL Shop, there were five pop-up locations throughout Los Angeles and 30 hotels carrying merchandise, all operated by Legends.

The company manages on-site retail at NFL tentpole events, including the Super Bowl, Pro Bowl, NFL Draft, and NFL Combine.

In addition, Legends and the league recently partnered to open NFL Las Vegas, an NFL-themed store located at Caesars Palace.
