"As more than 70,000 fans descended upon Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara Sunday for the Super Bowl, local law enforcement responded to only a handful of incidents at and near the stadium with violations ranging from a man racing across the field with several security guards in pursuit to more run-of-the-mill public drunkeness charges. There were ten total incidents reported in the area of Levi's Stadium during and around the big game Sunday,"
"Security for the 1.85-million square foot venue was overseen by the Santa Clara Police Department, which has been tasked with the stadium's security for its events since it opened in 2014, with assistance from a range of other agencies and security companies. With officers fanned out across the stadium, security was also aided by drones, real-time monitoring hubs and security cameras."
"The most eye-catching incident of the big game was the Super Bowl streaker, who ran onto the field around 6:30 p.m. and was pursued by several security guards and even a player. The man was tackled by the guards before being hastily escorted off the field. That man and a second who made a field incursion around the same time were arrested on suspicion of trespassing, according to the log."
More than 70,000 fans attended the Super Bowl at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. Local law enforcement reported ten incidents in and around the stadium, including trespassing, disorderly conduct, theft, and public drunkenness. That total was half the number recorded during the 2016 Super Bowl at the same venue, when swindling and public drunkenness were more prominent and restricted airspace saw plane diversions. Security was managed by the Santa Clara Police Department with assistance from multiple agencies and private companies, using officers, drones, real-time monitoring hubs, and cameras. A streaker and two field incursion suspects were arrested on suspicion of trespassing. The event was described as safe and secure by SCPD.
