How Super Bowl Security Measures Could Impact Your Game-Day Plans
The Super Bowl is one of the biggest events of the year—fans travel from all over, bars are packed, and excitement fills the air. But with the recent tragedy in New Orleans still fresh in people’s minds, security is top of mind for many heading into this weekend’s game. The NFL and law enforcement agencies are taking extra precautions to keep fans safe, but when you’re attending a massive event like this, it’s always smart to stay aware of your surroundings.
Expect Increased Screening and Longer Wait Times
If you’re heading to the game or watching from a nearby venue, expect security to be everywhere. New Orleans is stepping things up with more police officers on the ground, strict bag checks, and drone restrictions over the stadium. The Department of Homeland Security is also involved, bringing in extra surveillance tools and screening measures to make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
Translation? There will be longer lines, but those extra precautions are in place to keep people safe.
What Happens When Businesses Neglect Security at Major Events
Even with all these security measures, personal awareness goes a long way. If you’re in a crowd this weekend, whether at the stadium, a watch party, or a bar, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Know Your Exits – If something feels off, you don’t want to be scrambling to figure out where to go. Take a second to look around when you arrive.
- Trust Your Gut – If a situation doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore that feeling. Let security know if you see something suspicious.
- Stick with Your Group – It’s easy to get separated in a crowd, but there’s safety in numbers. Have a plan for where to meet if you lose each other.
Keller & Keller Fights for Victims of Negligent Security
We trust that stadiums, event organizers, and businesses will do everything possible to keep us safe—but sometimes, they fall short. If security is lacking, corners are cut, or warning signs are ignored, people can get hurt.
That’s where negligent security comes in. If a property owner or event organizer doesn’t take reasonable steps to prevent harm—whether that’s having enough security, proper lighting, or working cameras—they can be held responsible.
