SUMMARY
When South Park announced a COVID-themed Pandemic Special, marketing followed suit. Knowing South Park fans love the NFL©, and with COVID limiting attendance, the vacant seats of an empty stadium were the perfect place to get noticed. Comedy Central brought the town of South Park to Mile High Stadium in Denver, filling empty seats with 1,800 cutouts of characters from the show’s 23 seasons – and people took notice. South Park’s special was the highest-rated cable telecast of 2020 and the highest rated South Park episode in seven years.
