The usual buzz within the host city of the Super Bowl picks up steam on the Monday before the big game. That s when players speak to the media for opening night and when Radio Row officially begins. But while interviews with former players and networking with some of the most important members of the industry creates a humming noise that seems to reverberate throughout the streets of the city outside, this year is a much more muted affair.

Super Bowl week officially kicks off with virtual Opening Night with players, coaches
Kellie Cowan reports
TAMPA, Fla. - One of the biggest events during Super Bowl week takes place Monday: Media Day, which is otherwise known as Opening Night. The big event drew hundreds of reporters last year in Miami, but this year, it’s going to look a lot different.
Bucs fans going through Tom Brady withdrawals can get their fix all day Monday as Super Bowl Media Day kicks off.
Coverage will be live on NFL’s Twitter account. Starting at noon, tune to see Tom Brady, Gronk, Mike Evans, and many more tackling all of those burning questions ahead of the big game. At 4 p.m., the podium will turn over to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
