Safety, travel, entertainment preparations continue ahead of Super Bowl week in Bay Area

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- One week from Monday will be our first major event for Super Bowl week, and the Bay Area is starting the final preparations.

The matchups are set and the transformation is underway at Levi's Stadium.

Plans are turning into preparation for Super Bowl LX and the Valley Transportation Authority is ready to take people where they need to go.

VTA has been holding trainings for operators and maintaining the fleet of busses and light rails for the event.

Twenty-two extra trains will run Super Bowl Sunday to help move an expected VTA record 25,000 fans on gameday.

"We have taken every lesson serving Super Bowl 50 10 years ago and built it even stronger, smarter with a more efficient plan for Super Bowl 60," VTA General Manager and CEO Carolyn Gonot said.

In San Jose, an all-new visitor center celebrated its grand opening Monday.

Steps from San Jose State in downtown, the Locker Room is where visitors can learn about where to spend time in the city, host a podcast in the free studio, or even load up on gear of local teams.

It's just one of many ways the city aims to take advantage of being on the global stage.

"It's not about the event, it's about what we can do around an event," San Jose Sports Authority Exec. Director John Poch said. "The intent of this visitor's center is a one-stop concierge service for our residents, our patrons and our partners."

Part of the preparations across the Bay Area will be how jurisdictions manage potential ICE enforcement during Super Bowl week.

It was a topic of conversation at many press events on Monday.

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie emphasized that the Super Bowl will be a safe event for visitors and locals.

Back in October, the Department of Homeland Security promised ICE will be present.

Lurie says there is fear and anger after the recent events in Minnesota and wants everyone to know his city's stance ahead of the festivities.

"We will continue to uphold San Francisco's long-standing policies that keep local law enforcement focused on keeping our city safe, not federal immigration enforcement," Mayor Lurie said.

VTA will also monitor ICE activity, but they are unaware of any specific actions ahead of the Super Bowl.
