當地時間2月7日，美國第55屆“超級碗”比賽正式打響。在新冠肺炎疫情的影響下，體育場內特別製作了3萬個“紙板球迷”， 並且分散開來設定，以使在現場的球迷們可以保證社交距離。
Super Bowl LV kicked off between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs, Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida looked full with the help of some fake fans.
超級碗LV比賽在坦帕灣海盜隊和堪薩斯城酋長隊之間拉開帷幕，佛羅里達州坦帕市的雷蒙德·詹姆斯體育場在一些假球迷的襯托下顯得“人”滿為患。
Due to the ongoing pandemic, the NFL had approximately 25,000 in the stadium for the 55th Super Bowl, far fewer than the 70,000 fans that attended the big game the last time it was held in Tampa.
由於新冠疫情持續，有大約2.5萬名球迷在體育場觀看第55屆美國職業橄欖球大聯盟（NFL）年度總決賽，遠少於上次在坦帕市舉行時的7萬名球迷。
To make up the difference, the NFL produced 30,000 cardboard cutouts of fans to fill most of the remaining seats. You can see the cardboard cutouts filling the stadium on the NFL Network before the game.
為了彌補這一差距，NFL製作了3萬個“紙板球迷”來填補剩餘的大部分座位。在比賽前，你可以在全美橄欖球聯賽電視網上看到“坐”滿體育場的“紙板球迷”。
Unlike other sporting events where the cardboard cutouts are all bunch together in some areas of the stadium that receive the most TV coverage, the fake Super Bowl fans are spread out to keep the real fans socially distant.
在超級碗賽場上，“紙板球迷”被分散開來，以讓現場球迷真正保持社交距離。而在一些其他體育賽場上，紙板觀眾通常都“聚集”在一些電視報道較集中的區域。

The NFL charged fans $100 for each cardboard cutout at the game. That's a cool $3 million in revenue to make up for some of the lost ticket and concession sales.
NFL每個紙板向球迷收取了100美元，使得NFL足足賺到了300萬美元的收入，用來彌補損失的門票和特許銷售收入。
concession [kənˈseʃn]：n.特許（權）
In addition to spacing out the real fans, the NFL is also taking other precautions to keep Super Bowl fans safe.
除了讓現場真球迷保持距離，NFL還採取了其他預防措施來保證超級碗球迷的安全。
Among the safety measures, the NFL also handed out gift bags to all fans with N95 face masks. Also, all purchases at the stadium are cashless. If fans do bring cash, there are reverse ATMs that give them a card to use at concessions and shops.
比如，NFL向所有球迷分發包含N95口罩的禮品袋。此外，球迷在體育場不能使用現金購物。如果球迷帶了現金，可以使用賽場的反向取款機提供的卡片在特許商店和其他店鋪使用。
