NFL issues statement over Super Bowl security in update following Nola terror attack ahead of Chiefs-Eagles
In preparation for the Super Bowl, the NFL is stepping up its security measures.
The NFL is sending additional police to the Super Bowl in response to the terror attack in New Orleans.
The NFL and authorities have reexamined their plans for the major game, according to Cathy L. Lanier, the league’s senior security officer.
They are ensuring that nothing is missed in the vicinity of Caesar’s Superdome.
“I think you re going to see more visible uniformed presence, uniformed law enforcement,” Lanier stated.
Additionally, it is evident that a considerable number of police enforcement personnel are committed to this event, including both uniformed and non-uniformed law enforcement.

“As you can see, we typically have a sizable security perimeter, which is important for the Super Bowl.
“That will remain the same. However, there will be a lot more personnel, resources, and law enforcement in particular.
Lanier promised that guests would feel safe while without giving any details regarding the modifications to the security arrangements.
“My guess would be people who attend multiple Super Bowls, it s going to feel a lot like every other Super Bowl,” she stated.
“A lot of security is usually present. I predict that security will become more obvious.
“I anticipate seeing more police officers in uniform on the streets.
“I believe there will be an increase in police interaction, where officers will speak with people and try to give them a sense of security.
“The Super Bowl location is completely safe from any known or plausible threats.
“Classified briefings are still given to me. We would be aware if there was anything at all to be concerned about.
The Super Bowl is rated as a Level 1 Special Event Assessment event.
It’s defined by the Department of Homeland Security as “significant events with national and/or international importance that require extensive federal interagency support.”
Due to this designation, flying over the stadium will be prohibited, and federal officials will be available to handle any drone threats.
“Obviously everybody at the NFL and everybody else that s involved in this planning effort is very saddened by the events of January 1 but also watching very closely,” Lanier stated.
As we enter the last stages of the planning process, we are aware that everyone’s primary priority is security.
