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.

"The truth is these global sporting events are incredible, but most of our residents won't get the opportunity to go either because they can't afford a ticket, or just logistically it won't be possible, and so our opportunity is to create a robust fan experience, from local legends going into classrooms to low-cost public concerts downtown that really help everybody take pride in our city and celebrate this unique moment on the world stage."
