The Super Bowl was first televised in 1967.

Some 51 million people tuned in that year.

But audiences have ballooned for one of sports' biggest spectacles.

Last year, the estimate was closer to 128 million viewers on average during the game.

That's the same number Nielsen says watched this year's halftime show featuring Bad Bunny.

According to New York City's Department of Environmental Protection, water usage dropped significantly during the halftime show, and then spiked across the city immediately after.
