Super Bowl City
A Free-to-the-Public Fan Village which is San Francisco’s Super Bowl headquarters. Open all Super Bowl week Fan Village features a variety of exhibits (e.g., the Fan Energy Zone), interactive fan areas and 35 live performances, including Alica Keyes Friday night, on The Fan Stage & The City Stage. It will be the home base for thousands of fans visiting during Super Bowl Week.
Dates: Saturday-Sunday 1/30/16-2/7/16, 11 am-9 pm
Location: Centered at and around Justin Herman Plaza at Market St/The Embarcadero, San Francisco (i.e., across the street from the Ferry Building). See map.
Admission: Free

NFL Experience
An “interactive theme park” for NFL fans which is promoted by the NFL. Besides autograph sessions with current and former NFL players, visitors will also get to play interactive games (e.g., run an actual 40 yard dash against simulated “players”) and take pictures with the Lombardi Trophy. Good for tourists and serious NFL junkies but as locals we’d probably prefer to wait until after Super Bowl and go to the 49ers Museum at Levi’s Stadium for something similar but lower key and much less crowded.
Dates: Saturday-Sunday 1/30/16-2/7/16, 3 pm-10 pm weekdays … opens 10 am weekends.
Location: Moscone Center, 747 Howard St, San Francisco. The biggest convention center in the city
Admission: $35 for adults, $25 for children under 12.

Super Bowl 50 Game
The Denver Broncos (QB Payton Manning) will play vs Carolina Panthers (QB Cam Newton). Carolina is the 5-1/2 point Las Vegas favorite to win given their big semi-finals wins and Payton Manning’s age.
Date: Sunday, 2/7/16, 3:30 pm PST
Location: Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara CA
TV: CBS TV, KPIX Channel 5. TV show details. Internet live streaming at CBSSports.com.
