Super Bowl LX is less than a week away as the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots arrive in the Bay Area. The Patriots are making their 12th trip to the championship game — their first appearance since Tom Brady’s retirement — and are chasing a record-breaking seventh Super Bowl title. The Seahawks are in the big game for the fourth time; a win would be their second and a measure of revenge for the painful loss to the Patriots in 2015.
CBS News correspondent Nidia Cavazos, reporting from Santa Clara, says opening-night activity includes player interviews, media sessions and team photo opportunities as both rosters settle in. The city is preparing for a massive influx of visitors: officials estimate more than 1.3 million people will attend events across the week, from ticketed attendees at the game to visitors drawn by surrounding festivities — including many coming specifically for Bad Bunny’s halftime performance.
Local leaders emphasize that city, state and federal partners are coordinating security and logistics for the region-wide event. Officials also expect the weeklong surge of fans and tourists to provide a meaningful economic boost for restaurants, hotels and other local businesses.
