"It's just another Charlie-Brown-and-the-football moment for San Jose,"
"There's no reason they couldn't host a fan fest at Plaza de Cesar Chavez. Some sort of a mini NFL experience. They could have given us one or two more things here. It's the little sibling problem."
An official lineup of NFL-endorsed Super Bowl fan events largely omits San Jose and entirely omits Santa Clara, concentrating activities in San Francisco. San Jose appears once on the Bay Area Host Committee list, while Santa Clara — home of Levi's Stadium where the game will occur — is absent. San Jose and Santa Clara plan to stage independent events and watch parties. A 2016 study of the last Bay Area Super Bowl showed San Francisco captured most economic gains, with Santa Clara County receiving a small share. Santa Clara County faces budget strains and must plan security with little expectation of reimbursement amid federal funding cuts.
