No Credible Threat To Super Bowl 50, NFL And Law Enforcement Say

In the wake of tragic terror attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, among many other places, security is on high alert throughout Super Bowl week. A small contingency of Federal Bureau of Investigation personnel from San Francisco were sent to Arizona to review how security was handled at that Super Bowl.

Visitors to the Super Bowl Village in downtown San Francisco must pass through metal detectors and are greeted by city police officers dressed in green fatigues and guarding the area with assault rifles.

Johnson said the biggest challenge for this year’s Super Bowl will be the geographic scope, with the game, teams and most of the tourist attractions spread among San Francisco, Santa Clara and San Jose.

The league and their sponsors literally scoff at requests from local officials (like me) to compensate the taxpayers.

Accessing this information in multiple offices is key to safety at this year’s Super Bowl, because there are events happening throughout the Bay Area, making it more “logistically challenging” than previous games. “Times have changed and we have to adjust to what’s happening around the country and the world”.

“We’re really seeing the crowds and we’re seeing people treated the right way”.

It bears repeating, because we stand stunned at how this one particular travel innovation has grown in less than a decade. There was no commitment to spend what it will take to actually house these individuals and families.

Like Mayor Ed Lee has done, the Supervisor likens the Super Bowl to a civic celebration on par with Pride and Fleet Week.

The fact that a stadium this technologically advanced was built near San Francisco first is not an accident.

When Super Bowl attendees take their seats for Sunday’s big game, they won’t have to worry about missing a big play because they had to get up for another drink. This is the city, after all, of $10 toast and $5,000 studio apartments.

And while +340 is pretty good odds for a Hall of Fame quarterback in the Super Bowl, you can find better value elsewhere.

That is some of what we found in Airbnb’s intriguing report centered on the economic impact of travelers using the service this coming week during the nation’s most beloved sporting event.

And when the cheers erupt for the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers, the spotlight won’t just be on the biggest game in the football season, but on the tech companies that pitched in during the weeklong festivities.
