Christian McCaffrey’s Family Unable to Afford Super Bowl Suite, Despite His Millions
Lisa McCaffrey, the mother of NFL running back Christian McCaffrey, recently revealed that her family was unable to secure a suite at Allegiant Stadium for the upcoming Super Bowl. Despite McCaffrey’s estimated net worth being between $7 and $10 million, his mother stated that even they couldn’t afford the steep price.
Lisa McCaffrey mentioned in an interview on Friday that they had initially looked into getting a suite for the big game but found it to be too expensive. She jokingly pointed out that not even Christian, nicknamed “money bags,” or his fiancée Olivia Culpo could afford it either. However, it seems that her remarks were inaccurate, as Culpo later took to Instagram to share the news that she had indeed bought a suite for her mother-in-law as a birthday gift.
While the McCaffreys have been able to enjoy suites throughout the season, including during the playoffs, the prices for Super Bowl suites are said to be in the seven-figure range. The significant costs associated with the event led Lisa to comment on the corporate nature of the Super Bowl, speculating that big corporations buy out most of the suites and use them as perks for clients or employees.
Despite missing out on a suite, Lisa managed to arrange a reserved area for her family to watch the game, although they were only able to secure eight tickets. With average ticket prices exceeding $9,000, the family’s relatives and Christian’s friends will reportedly be watching the game from a nearby bar, with plans to meet up after the event.
The upcoming Super Bowl is even more significant for the McCaffrey family since Christian’s father, Ed McCaffrey, won three Super Bowls during his own NFL career. If Christian wins, it would mark the first time a father-son duo has won a title with the same franchise.
The San Francisco 49ers will face the Kansas City Chiefs in a rematch from four years ago. The Chiefs emerged victorious in Super Bowl LIV after making a 10-point fourth quarter comeback. As for the entertainment factor, it has been confirmed that Taylor Swift will be in attendance, although it is unclear where she plans to sit.
