It is that the focus was precisely to support all those who have made the effort to endure these abnormal months where hugs and kisses were left aside and masks took over their faces because of COVID-19.
To make the image accurate, they enlisted the help of a visual effects studio, used previous Lombardi images and used “proprietary face swapping technology.” In addition, the family of the American who died in 1970 and also contributed to the video. “They were very excited, because they felt that it was a realistic human representation of their father, and he found a way to express the best things about his father,” Ellis noted.
It is worth remembering that the pandemic has forced the capacity of Raymond James Stadium in Tampa to be reduced by about two-thirds to occupy only 22,000 seats. Some 7,500 of those tickets were given to health workers who are already vaccinated and another 14,500 were put up for sale to the public through a lottery system.
The champion trophy is named after Lombardi because it was he who at the helm of Green Bay won the first two Super Bowls in history and died in 1970 after failing to overcome colon cancer. His lifetime regular season record is 96-34-6 and in the Playoffs he achieved an incredible 9-1 record, closing a total of 105 wins, 35 losses and 6 draws.
