Does anyone have $8 million lying around? That’s the reported average cost of a 30-second commercial during this Sunday’s Super Bowl, with some of the more coveted time slots reaching $10 million.

What could that amount of money buy you in Greenville?

  • 800,000 days of parking in downtown garages — aka 2,191 years — even with the recent increase in fees.
  • 2 million loaves of Stecca from Swamp Rabbit Cafe & Grocery — enough for every single Greenville County resident to have three.
  • 5,000 resale tickets to all sessions of the NCAA Men’s Tournament at Bon Secours Wellness Arena
  • This mountain retreat on Lake Toxaway ~1.5 hours from Greenville with a state-of-the-art media room, an old world-style wine cellar, private boathouse and dock, and a sunken hot tub just off the primary suite.
  • 5.3 million oysters at The Jones Oyster Co. if you visit from 2 to 5 p.m. on a weekday
