Like a typical Super Bowl Sunday, chicken wings, pizza and subs will still be in hot demand.
While Americans are still expected to partake in their favorite game-day foods, there will be fewer Super Bowl parties amid the coronavirus pandemic.
According to the National Chicken Council, Americans will eat a record 1.42 billion wings while watching the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This is up 2% from last year.
The Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin projects that over 20 million pounds of cheese will be consumed by football fans Sunday.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, is advising people to avoid parties during the pandemic and said big events like Sunday’s game in Tampa, Florida, are a cause for concern over the potential for virus spread.

“You don’t want parties with people that you haven’t had much contact with,” Fauci told NBC’s “Today” show. “You just don’t know if they’re infected, so, as difficult as that is, at least this time around, just lay low and cool it.”
This year's Super Bowl is likely to set new streaming records, with more people watching on their own.
