SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — We are now less than five months away from Super Bowl 60 at Levi’s Stadium.
And while the game will be played in Santa Clara, much like 10 years ago with Super Bowl 50, the entire Bay Area will be involved in the festivities beforehand.
The Super Bowl flag is up at San Francisco City Hall.
“We are officially on the clock for Super Bowl 60 right here at home,” said Zaileen Janmohamed, the President and CEO of Bay Area Host Committee.

A special launch event Friday featured leaders with the city, NFL and the 49ers. They say hosting Super Bowl 60 in the Bay Area means opportunity, celebration and impact.
“(For) the Super Bowl, the whole country comes together. We need more of that. I’m just excited that we get to host that,” said San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie.
The region has done it before. It hosted Super Bowl 50 at Levi Stadium back in 2016.
At that time, Mayor Lurie was the Board Chair of the Bay Area Host Committee.

Now that the big game has returned to the Bay Area, leaders are celebrating.
“When you look at where SF in past, and where city is now, I couldn’t pick a better time to host a Super Bowl,” said Jed York, CEO of the 49ers.
The Bay Area Host Committee calls hosting the Super Bowl a milestone, and says it’s about putting the Bay Area and the region on center stage.
“It’s not just what happening in SF or in Santa Clara; It’s about what happens in Oakland, what happens in San Jose, what happens in Napa Valley,” said Janmohamed.

“The Super Bowl will be here to shine a light on the wonderful things that are happening and the wonderful things that are in that area here,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
On the Friday before the Super Bowl, organizers are hosting the first of its kind innovation summit at the SF MOMA. They say they are bringing together tech, culture, sports and more — with 500 leaders coming together to highlight the Bay Area’s innovation.
“This is how we pushed the NFL — to say you are coming to the innovation capital of the world. You are coming to a place where things are built and invented for the first time. You are doing it in an environment where you are also hosting the biggest sporting event and so you have to bring these two things together,” said Janmohamed.
With the countdown on to the big game, organizers are delivering a call to action, asking everyone to get ready, and to get involved.
“We need everyone to do this right,” said Al Guido, 49ers President.
