Super Bowl preparations are in full swing just one month before the big event, with the City of Santa Clara gearing up to host Super Bowl 60. According to city officials, being a host city is both an honor and a major responsibility, requiring extensive collaboration with federal, state, and local agencies, as well as close communication with the NFL and Bay Area Host Committee.
As of this week, Stars and Stripes Drive has been closed to public traffic, allowing the NFL to build out their campus around Levi's Stadium. City spokesperson Janine De La Vega emphasized that being ready for the global stage is crucial for the city's staff. "They've been working tirelessly on logistics, everything from security to roads to permits," she said.
The entire South Bay will serve as a hub for Super Bowl activities, with Stanford and San Jose State Athletics facilities serving as practice locations, and the San Jose and Santa Clara Marriott hosting teams from both conferences. Mayor Matt Mahan has assembled an entirely dedicated team to ensure safety and smooth event operations.
For fans, there are various events to look forward to, including the media night celebration at the San Jose Convention Center, where they can meet players and coaches from AFC or NFC representatives. Registration is required through the NFL One Pass app, with entry on a first-come-first-served basis.
While these official events will be just a small part of the overall Super Bowl experience, officials say the preparations are providing a solid groundwork for an unforgettable event. As the countdown to Super Bowl 60 begins, excitement is building in the Bay Area, where sports enthusiasts can look forward to an incredible year ahead.
