Airbnb rentals could bring residents a pretty penny during Super Bowl 50

Renting a luxury house near Levi's Stadium can exceed the country's median per capita income, and some are hoping to spin their homes into Super Bowl gold

One million people are expected to travel to the San Francisco Bay area for Super Bowl 50, and some residents are hoping to spin their homes into gold.

The going price for renting out a luxury house near where the champion football game will be played can exceed the country's median per capita income of $28,155. The promise of that kind of payday is prompting some homeowners to test the waters of short-term rental platforms like Airbnb for the first time.
