Checking the score? The scoreboard at @RJStadium was made right at home in Bookings, South Dakota.   Pretty cool to see SD’s @Daktronics light up the Tampa sky. #SuperBowlLV

@TomBrady and @PatrickMahomes may have some cannons, but @AFGSC is bringing the real long-range strike to#SuperBowlLV.

More than ever, we are relying on technology. While many Americans never have to think twice about the ability to access the internet, people in rural areas can't always rely on a stable internet connection. Expanding connectivity has been a top priority for me. https://t.co/nGnTbCs9Dp
