Not only did Mars and Cardi B beat out the competition during Super Bowl weekend, they also set a record for the 20-year-old arena. 

Their $6.473 million gross is now the highest single-night gross in the history of State Farm Arena (previously Philips Arena). The only engagement at the same venue to outperform the pair is Garth Brooks’ string of seven shows from September 19-27, 2014, pulling in $6.634 million.
