Bairaktaris, who works for Gillette Stadium’s New England Patriots Guest Services team, is at today’s game at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida working as an Ambassador and Technology Manager for Super Bowl LV. He may be one of the only Westporters at the stadium today with attendance numbers cut due to COVID-19.
Super Bowl LV will have the smallest attendance ever, according to NBC Sports, with only 25,000 attendees. Over 7,000 of those attendees are vaccinated front line workers who were awarded free tickets to the big game; all spectators were given hand sanitizer and are mandated to wear masks throughout the entire game.
Joey Bairaktaris is the triplet brother of Westport Local Press Executive Editor Jaime Bairaktaris.
