Sports columnist Jeff Duncan summed it up: “From beginning to end, Super Bowl LIX was a panoply of OMG moments. The awe-inspiring lighting of St. Louis Cathedral. The spectacle of Opening Night. The majesty of the media party. The splendor of NFL Honors at the Saenger Theater. The pageantry of the Super Bowl Host Committee parade. The grandeur of the renovated Superdome on game night. The city never looked so beautiful, its landmarks so majestic. The Cathedral, Saenger, and Dome were resplendent. Downtown blazed like a Pixar movie brought to life.
