"The Santa Clara Stadium Authority Board - comprised of the City Council - voted 5-2 Tuesday to approve the final 2026 Super Bowl agreement, which includes a roughly $6.4 million reimbursement from the Bay Area Host Committee for costs ranging from law enforcement security services to safety equipment. The host committee will also reimburse about $650,000 for Santa Clara Convention Center rent, and the San Francisco 49ers stadium company will reimburse about $26,000 in older adult and youth ticket sales."
"Mayor Lisa Gillmor and Vice Mayor Kelly Cox voted no, citing concern about receiving the full reimbursement. Gillmor said the agreement's stipulation for the host committee to approve each reimbursement is worrisome. She wanted to see more proof the stadium company could financially backstop the committee, but Jihad Beauchman, executive vice president of the 49ers and general counsel, said that isn't a needed part of the agreement."
The Santa Clara Stadium Authority Board voted 5-2 to approve the final 2026 Super Bowl agreement securing roughly $6.4 million from the Bay Area Host Committee for law enforcement, security and safety equipment. The host committee will also reimburse about $650,000 for Convention Center rent, and the 49ers stadium company will reimburse about $26,000 for older adult and youth ticket sales. Major city costs include about $2.7 million for event staffing, $1.4 million for vendors and $572,636 for police planning. The host committee will pay half in advance by Dec. 25 and the remainder after the game; if it cannot, the 49ers stadium company will pay or accrue interest. Two council members voted no, citing concerns about assurance of full reimbursement and requesting stronger financial guarantees.
