ESPN Announces SUPER BOWL LI Coverage, Beginning 1/30

ESPN will cover SUPER BOWL LI - Tom Brady and the New England Patriots vs. Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons - from various locations in Houston beginning Monday, January 30, with SUPER BOWL Opening Night at Minute Maid Park and culminating SUPER BOWL Sunday with live editions of NFL PRIMETIME and SPORTSCENTER from the field at NRG Stadium.

Wednesday through Friday, SPORTSCENTER and ESPN's NFL shows will originate from downtown Houston - adjacent to the Toyota Center between Austin, Bell, LaBranch and Leeland Streets, while Mike & Mike, FIRST TAKE and OUTSIDE THE LINES will be live from nearby Lucky's Pub (801 St Emanuel St.).
