Big Game in the Bay: NorCal's History of Hosting Super Bowls

Both NFL teams started weeklong preparations for Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium, with 90,000 visitors expected during game week, organizers said.

  • Yesterday, both the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks touched down at San Jose Mineta International Airport to begin weeklong preparations for Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium next Sunday, Feb 8, 2026.
  • As game week begins Monday, both teams will meet the media during Super Bowl Opening Night as the Patriots pursue a record seventh Super Bowl title and the Seahawks aim for their first since 2019.
  • The Patriots arrived after 3:30 p.m. and were bused to their Santa Clara hotel, while the Seahawks arrived about two hours later around 5:30 p.m. after a send-off parade in Seattle.
  • Local organizers forecast a surge of visitors and steep ticket resale prices as the Bay Area Host Committee expects an estimated 90,000 visitors and resale ticket prices just over $6,000.
  • Ownership reports and disputes surfaced as the teams arrived, with ESPN reporting a potential sale of the Seattle Seahawks after the Super Bowl, which the Paul Allen estate disputed, while last week's injury report listed Seahawks quarterbacks Darnold and Maye but did not expect them sidelined.
