NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal has been to a lot of extravagant Super Bowl parties over the years, but he's hoping his Super Bowl LIII bash next weekend will be talked about for years to come.
Shaq has partnered with JBL to throw an enormous, carnival-themed "Shaq's Fun House" Super Bowl party at SunTrust Park, home of the Atlanta Braves. Super Bowl LIII, featuring the New England Patriots vs Los Angeles Rams, is scheduled for February 3, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
The event will include a ferris wheel, juggling flame-throwers, a Cirque Du Soleil performance and festival music acts from Migos, DJ Tiesto, Lil Jon, T-Pain and Diplo. Of course, Shaq will also perform a set as DJ Diesel.
Taking things a step further Shaq is also creating a full Waffle House diner, partnered with STK STEAKHOUSE, and he's working with Killer Mike on a full scale barbershop. The festivities will be showcased at SunTrust Park's "Live at the Battery!" area, and will include local cuisine as well as a Las Vegas nightclub-inspired open bar.
"I've been to a lot of Super Bowl parties and they're all the same. We wanted to make it fun and be different — bigger than ever," O'Neal tells USA Today. "This is going to be talked about for years to come. It's part festival, part carnival, part circus. It'll be the best Super Bowl party ever seen."
According to USA Today, a limited number of tickets were available to the general public beginning at $249.99, with VIP tickets going for $999.
