Is it the only sporting event in the world where the team squad, officials, referees, umpires etc.... actually outnumber the supporters in the stadium? did you see the touchlines? there's a multitude of them!!

do you mean outnumber the true bears fans and colts fans? if you mean what it seems like you mean, you are saying that they outnumber the fans in the stadium?? I'm not even gonna research this, but I am going to estimate that dolphin stadium holds about 60,000 fans or so. Between both teams staffs and everyone on the referee staff adds up to well below 1000 (this is including all coaches, players, trainers, etc, etc). So I'm not sure where you are going with this.

Each team has 48 players on its playing roster, so multiply it by two, and you get 96 players. There is a Head Coach and about five other coaches on the sidelines, plus physiotherapists, so let's be generous and say another 30 people. There are seven officials on the field.
So to answer your question, there are roughly 133 players, coaches and officials on the field or the sidelines at any one time.
The attendance at Dolphins Stadium on Sunday was 80,562.
Therefore I suggest, humbly and respectfully, that your question is factually incorrect!

Each team has 45 players. There are quite a few coaches and trainers. A lot of the people on the sidelines are photogs and other press. There's something like seven officials. As far as I'm concerned, the press doesn't belong on the sidelines.

Slight exaggeration but i see what you mean. They have so many players because they have attacking (or offence)/defence and special teams (kickers/blockers etc)
