Since the 1900s, football in America has become a fan-favorite sport. As two teams play against each other on a 120-yard-long field with a ball the size of a foot (hence the name "football"), spectators watch and cheer for their favorite teams and players.

However, football in America is not the same as football in the rest of the world. Letโs take a look at what makes American football different by focusing on how to play, the fun things you can see at games, and the sport's most-watched televised event of the year in the United States.

First, letโs begin with how to play. Each game consists of two teams trying to score points by reaching their opponentโs goal, called an "end zone". A key player, the "quarterback," throws the football to a teammate to advance ten yards within four attempts, known as a "down". If the team succeeds, they earn a new "down" and move closer to scoring a goal, called a "touchdown". Points are scored through touchdowns (six points) and field goals (three points). Extra points can be earned after a team scores a touchdown The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

One unique and fun tradition in American football is tailgating. Before each game, some football fans like to have small parties in the parking lot in front of football stadiums, with food, such as barbecue, and games like cornhole. Another exciting thing you will experience are the loud stadiums. While fans cheer for their favorite teams, a stadium can reach over 110 decibels. The Kansas City Chiefsโ stadium currently holds the world record of 142.2 decibels.

Lastly, the most-watched football game, and sporting event for Americans, of the year is the Super Bowl. It is the final game of the season and decides the champion team. The game is famous for its halftime show, which includes big performances, and for its funny commercials, called "Super Bowl ads." Tickets can cost thousands of dollars, so most people prefer to stay at home with a variety of snacks and drinks to watch the game with their friends and family.
