"49ers Owner Jed York also spoke on the impact felt and seen at the star-studded daytime and nighttime events held across the region. "We've done about $500 million of economic impact in the Bay Area this week," said York. "Over 100,000 room nights, countless events in the communities, we've donated close to $10 million back in the community just this week and that's a part of the lasting impact.""
""In 2027, the Super Bowl returns to the Los Angeles region once again, taking center stage at SoFi Stadium for the second time this decade," Kathryn Schloessman of the LA Sports & Entertainment Commission said. "It isn't the only time in 60 years that two cities in one state have had the Super Bowl consecutively, but it is a very, very rare thing," California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis said. "California has the people, the cities, the sports teams, the sports, fans, the incredible infrastructure, the hotels, and the ability to continue to invest in all these things.""
