SAN FRANCISCO – Super Bowl City in Embarcadero opened last Saturday, January 30 promptly at 11:00 a.m., and thousands of spectators gathered to watch an afternoon and evening of entertainment.
The Bay Area’s own Chris “Wicked Game” Isaak (last seen on TV as the winning coach of Grand Winner Fil-Australian Cyrus Villanueva in “Australian X-Factor”) rocked the place where officially, the golden weeklong celebration of football’s biggest night happens.
The Super Bowl committee has announced a series of concerts at the Levi’s City Stage of Super Bowl City, a fan village set up on the Embarcadero (all remaining shows are set to begin around 7:00 p.m.):
Matt Nathanson performed on Wednesday, February 3rd followed by The Band Perry on Thursday, February 4th. One Republic will entertain the crowd on Friday, February 5th.
Grammy-winning artist Alicia Keys of New York (of hits 2012’s “Girl on Fire,” 2007’s “No One,” 2003’s “If Ain’t Got you,” 2001’s “Fallin’”) is set for Saturday, February 6th. Super Bowl Sunday is happening on February 7 in Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium.
“It is best to arrive early and to take public transit to Super Bowl City.” The Hartman Family of San Jose (Dad Christopher, Mom Cece and sons Eric and Chri ‘Kit’) had a blast enjoying the Super Bowl City and everything it has to offer last Sunday, together with thousands others. “Wear warm and layered clothing –as the weather and temperature change rapidly during the day,” suggests Cecilia ‘Cece’ Hartman, RN.
The shows are broadcast live by KPIX CBS 5 starting at 7 p.m. and hosted by Ken Bastida and Liz Cook.
Last Saturday’s opening ceremonies officially began with the relighting of the Bay Bridge Dancing Lights (originally installed in3 years ago to commemorate the 75th anniversary of opening of the then new bridge span).
Incidentally, 2015 Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach arrived in San Francisco (fresh from her Manila homecoming) to start her weeklong gig as the official correspondent of “Inside Edition.” Her arrival video already circulated online followed by her trip to the Superbowl Media Center to pick up her media credentials. She was also shown goofing around with the Carolina Panthers. We expect to see more of her funny antics and coverage in the coming days!
