"When that game was awarded, Santa Clara had not yet hosted a major event at Levi's Stadium. Twelve years later, we've hosted more than 200 major events, including Super Bowl 50. That experience matters. It's given us a clear understanding of what it takes to safely host an event of this scale and significance,"
"We have a comprehensive public safety plan in place that addresses a wide range of contingencies ... I'm confident in the planning that's been done and in the professionals that will be executing that plan,"
"I'm excited for Sunday. It's going to be a beautiful day in Santa Clara and we are ready."
Levi's Stadium will host Super Bowl LX with tens of thousands attending and hundreds of millions watching worldwide. A network of visible and covert law enforcement and security personnel will fan the 1.85-million-square-foot venue and surroundings to watch for potential threats. Surveillance cameras, drones and multiple real-time technological hubs will monitor every entrance, doorway and egress point. Santa Clara police have hosted more than 200 major events since 2014, including Super Bowl 50 in 2016, and have developed comprehensive public safety plans. The city budgeted about $6.3 million, mostly for police and security, roughly matching a season's security costs. A prior Super Bowl's police blotter was relatively uneventful.
