It looks like another famous NFL family isn’t willing to pay for a suite at Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas.
Less than a week after the mother of San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey said her family could not afford a ‘stupidly expensive’ luxury suite at Allegiant Stadium, the site of the game, Donna Kelce, the mother of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, said something similar.
‘Well, you can understand that the boxes in Vegas are multi-million dollars so I have a feeling I’m not in a box,’ Kelce said Wednesday morning during an appearance on the TODAY show. ‘I have a feeling I am in the stands. As far as I know I am in the stands with everybody else because it is a pricey Super Bowl.’
Ticket prices at Allegiant Stadium are the most expensive in history, according to TickPick, with average prices around $9,619 on the secondary market. Tickets to Super Bowl 57, in comparison, averaged $5,795. Suites at Allegiant Stadium range from $1.4M all the way up to $2.5M for an Owner’s Club Suite, which includes 20 suite tickets, two parking passes and a food and beverage package.

Lisa McCaffrey made her comments about the luxury suite prices on her ‘Your Mom’ podcast with Ashley Adamson. In response to that, however, her son’s fiancée, model, actress, influencer and former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo, said in an Instagram post that she had reserved a suite for Lisa McCaffrey’s birthday.
That plan eventually was thwarted, all because of Christian McCaffrey.
‘She tried to, but I will not let anybody pay to watch me play,’ Christian McCaffrey said Monday at Super Bowl 58 Opening Night, according to ExtraTV. ‘I had to nix that.’
Travis Kelce, of course, is dating pop music icon Taylor Swift. It’s still unclear if Swift will be attending the Super Bowl — she is performing a concert in Tokyo, the first leg of the 2024 Eras tour — though she has attended several Chiefs games this season, always in a luxury suite.
Still, whether the Kelce family makes it into a luxury suite or not, Donna Kelce is looking forward to the experience.
‘I really am, it is going to be a dream,’ Donna Kelce said on the TODAY show when asked if she was excited to be attending the game. ‘To go back-to-back like this, back to the Super Bowl, I’m really excited.’
