The 2023 Super Bowl crowd may have been split between Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs supporters, but there was no doubt that everyone present was rooting for Damar Hamlin and the medical staff who cared for him.
The Buffalo Bills safety was there prior to the game’s start on February 12 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
The announcer welcomed first responders from the Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, and University of Cincinnati Medical Center to the field just after 6 o’clock. After Hamlin suffered a heart arrest and passed out on the field during a game on January 2, this group oversaw his recuperation.
The announcer stated, “Please offer them a warm welcome to Super Bowl 57,” to increasing cheers from the crowd.
The announcer then introduced Hamlin as “a special visitor come to demonstrate his appreciation.”
Hamlin made a heart with his hands toward the camera while donning white sunglasses—a signature gesture of his. He also gave hugs to the medical personnel present on the field.

“The impact I hoped to have on the world is just getting started, and with God’s help, I will keep doing fantastic and amazing things. I look forward to taking all of you on this trip with me since I couldn’t do it without your love and support.”
