For the first time, the 2026 Pro Bowl Games will be relocated to Super Bowl week, taking place at San Francisco’s Moscone Center. A new Super Bowl LX Innovation Summit focused on technology will also be held at SFMOMA during the week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we return to the Bay Area for Super Bowl LX, a decade after Super Bowl 50, we’re fully embracing the region’s unique energy and building something that feels true to the Bay,” said Peter O’Reilly, the NFL’s executive vice president of club business, major events and international, in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That energy, according to BAHC President and CEO Zaileen Janmohamed, comes from the region’s distinct character.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Bay Area is made up of nine counties … All counties have their own vibe, culture, and way that they behave every single day,” Janmohamed said at a virtual press conference on Monday. “And our job is to showcase that out to the world and then to bring the Super Bowl in to unite the region through that event.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12062834\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1999px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12062834\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/006_KQED_SuperBowl_AlabamaSt_02022020_1255_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/006_KQED_SuperBowl_AlabamaSt_02022020_1255_qed.jpg 1999w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/006_KQED_SuperBowl_AlabamaSt_02022020_1255_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/11/006_KQED_SuperBowl_AlabamaSt_02022020_1255_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">49ers fans at Pops Bar during the Super Bowl on Sunday in San Francisco’s Mission District. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>O’Reilly called the Pro Bowl Games at Moscone a “significant deal” that serves as a major community engagement opportunity. The event will bring 88 of the NFL’s top players to the region to participate in a multi-day skills competition and a 7-on-7 flag football game, rather than a traditional tackle game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O’Reilly emphasized the value of having that level of “star power” concentrated in the Bay, actively engaging in both fan activities and community events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the heart of that Pro Bowl Games decision is all the momentum that exists around flag football,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That focus on broad fan access extends to the week’s other main events. The Super Bowl Experience at the Moscone Center from Feb. 3–7, which O’Reilly called an “NFL theme park,” will be free for kids 12 and under. The week will also feature multiple music events, including the BAHC Live! Concert Series at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium and On Location’s Studio 60 Concert Series at the Palace of Fine Arts.[aside postID=news_11975357 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/240210-NANCY-PELOSI-SEATMATE-MD-01-KQED-1020x680.jpg']While San Francisco will host the main fan festival, the week’s festivities will officially begin in the South Bay. Super Bowl Opening Night is set for the San José Convention Center on Feb. 2. Janmohamed called this a deliberate “decision of inclusivity across the region.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision was also logistical. John Poch, executive director of the San José Sports Authority, confirmed that both participating teams will be practicing in the South Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By having it here in San José makes it very accessible for both teams,” Poch said, adding it’s a “five-minute walk” for one team.

Plus, the lesson area is separated from the regular range so newcomers can take as much time as they need to set up, shoot and retrieve arrows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By the end of your lesson, you will feel confident to continue the sport at your leisure,” Golzen said. “Archery is so simple. If you can play catch with someone with a ball without making them chase that ball all over the place every time you throw it to them, you can shoot an arrow 10 yards.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12040892 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/best-hikes-bay-area-memorial-day-1020x679.png']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Archery is an age-inclusive sport, too, Golzen said, with some of their oldest members in their 80s. The group attends tournaments that are open to anyone of any skill level, where participants, organized by age, gender and category of shooter, shoot at 3D foam targets that are shaped like animals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you make it through all those targets and try, that’s success,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Set up for success: \u003c/strong>Golzen recommends wearing close-toed shoes with some ankle support to the park, and to bring some water.

But because of the many parties folks will be attending on Sunday, you might want to avoid the grocery store that morning and possibly on Saturday, too — unless you want to compete with all those hosts and guests doing last-minute party planning.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>How long will the Super Bowl last, roughly?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A 2017 analysis from \u003cem>The Verge\u003c/em> found that in previous years, \u003ca href=\"https://www.theverge.com/2017/2/4/14403598/how-long-is-the-super-bowl\">the average length of the Super Bowl was just under four hours.\u003c/a> This \u003cem>could \u003c/em>mean you get until around 7:30 p.m. to enjoy the lack of crowds … or even shorter. Or even longer. There’s no way to predict the exact length of the game, but it’s virtually certain that you’ll get at least three hours of play — and you can pretty safely plan on having until 6:30 p.m. to revel in a crowd-free Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/san-francisco\">Sunset on Sunday in San Francisco is forecast to be 5:42 p.m\u003c/a>., meaning your precious Super Bowl window of (hopeful) solitude could also encompass a hike — more on that below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you plan to take a drive that Sunday, you may wish to use your phone to keep a light eye on how the game is progressing. You don’t want your crowd-free afternoon to end with getting caught in freeway traffic because you’re hitting the road home when all the Super Bowl watchers are heading home from parties and bars, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Super Bowl alternative #1: Visit a tourist spot for a photoshoot\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11748038/the-iconic-bay-area-spots-that-locals-dont-visit-according-to-you\">Playing tourist in the Bay Area is always fun as a local\u003c/a>, especially if you never usually do it. And there’s a good chance that even the most popular tourist attractions won’t be as busy as usual.

But because of the many parties folks will be attending on Sunday, you might want to avoid the grocery store that morning and possibly on Saturday, too — unless you want to compete with all those hosts and guests doing last-minute party planning.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>How long will the Super Bowl last, roughly?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A 2017 analysis from \u003cem>The Verge\u003c/em> found that in previous years, \u003ca href=\"https://www.theverge.com/2017/2/4/14403598/how-long-is-the-super-bowl\">the average length of the Super Bowl was just under four hours.\u003c/a> This \u003cem>could \u003c/em>mean you get until around 7:30 p.m. to enjoy the lack of crowds … or even shorter. Or even longer. There’s no way to predict the exact length of the game, but it’s virtually certain that you’ll get at least three hours of play — and you can pretty safely plan on having until 6:30 p.m. to revel in a crowd-free Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/san-francisco\">Sunset on Sunday in San Francisco is forecast to be 5:42 p.m\u003c/a>., meaning your precious Super Bowl window of (hopeful) solitude could also encompass a hike — more on that below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you plan to take a drive that Sunday, you may wish to use your phone to keep a light eye on how the game is progressing. You don’t want your crowd-free afternoon to end with getting caught in freeway traffic because you’re hitting the road home when all the Super Bowl watchers are heading home from parties and bars, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Super Bowl alternative #1: Visit a tourist spot for a photoshoot\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11748038/the-iconic-bay-area-spots-that-locals-dont-visit-according-to-you\">Playing tourist in the Bay Area is always fun as a local\u003c/a>, especially if you never usually do it. And there’s a good chance that even the most popular tourist attractions won’t be as busy as usual. Think: The Ferry Building on San Francisco’s Embarcadero, Alcatraz Island, Muir Woods, riding a cable car, walking or cycling the Golden Gate Bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another tourist-adjacent idea to consider for Sunday: Checking out one of the Bay’s iconic vista points or lookouts that are usually chock-full of visitors, like SF’s Twin Peaks or \u003ca href=\"https://www.parksconservancy.org/article/seven-places-gaze-golden-gate-bridge\">one of these classic viewpoints for the Golden Gate Bridge\u003c/a>.

The rules will affect high school athletics throughout the state and expand safety practices that schools in the desert have observed for years, said Estevan Valencia, athletic director at Palm Desert High.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve been playing sports for over 100 years out here,” he said. “Our coaches and parents and kids have all grown up in this type of environment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coaches shift practice schedules to early morning or after sunset, he said, or they call for frequent water breaks and monitor athletes for signs of heat stress, such as red faces or dizziness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve been doing this for a long time; now it’s just mandated and monitored,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Interscholastic Federation developed the rules to meet \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab1653\">standards set in the law\u003c/a> by \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/legislators/kate-sanchez-165419\">Assemblymember Kate Sanchez\u003c/a>, a Rancho Santa Margarita Republican whose district includes parts of western Riverside County.

The heat thresholds vary by geographic zone. Coastal areas are in Zone 1, with restrictions at lower temperatures than schools in Zone 2, which is slightly inland. Hotter and dryer inland areas — with the highest heat thresholds — are in Zone 3.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every school district in the Inland Empire falls in Zone 3.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Training in the hot zones\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>At the first heat threshold of 82.2 degrees Fahrenheit for Zone 3, coaches must provide more frequent water breaks. At the next heat level, football players must shed parts of their uniforms. As heat rises further, they’re forbidden to wear any protective gear. At the final heat level of 92.1 degrees Fahrenheit, outdoor practice is forbidden entirely for that zone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That gives Zone 3 schools a little more leeway to hold hot weather practices than the other schools. However, many days early in the athletic season still exceed the temperature limit, which means teams must reschedule or take practice indoors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to be very flexible,” Valencia said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law also requires all campuses with interscholastic sports to draw up an emergency action plan in case of sudden cardiac arrest, concussion or heat illness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez, who played volleyball from elementary through high school, crafted the law after learning about the numbers of sports-related traumas and deaths, said Griffin Bovée, her Capitol director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He cited a report by the \u003ca href=\"https://nccsir.unc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/5614/2021/11/2020-Catastrophic-Report-AS-38th-AY2019-2020-FINAL.pdf\">National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury\u003c/a> that found 2,878 catastrophic injuries or illnesses in high school and college sports nationwide from 1982 to 2020.

At the next heat level, football players must shed parts of their uniforms. As heat rises further, they’re forbidden to wear any protective gear. At the final heat level of 92.1 degrees Fahrenheit, outdoor practice is forbidden entirely for that zone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That gives Zone 3 schools a little more leeway to hold hot weather practices than the other schools.

Jenkins’ office is still reviewing the case as it considers whether to seek a transfer to adult court, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is still a very fresh investigation,” Jenkins said, calling it “premature” for her to say whether she believes the suspect should be tried as an adult. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The teenager is expected to be arraigned Wednesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pearsall, 23, was shot in the chest on Saturday afternoon and released from San Francisco General Hospital the next day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the rookie has been added to the non-football injury list, meaning he will not play in at least the 49ers’ first four games, his team has confirmed he is back in the weight room and will be expected on the field this season. At a press conference on Tuesday, general manager John Lynch called the recovery of the team’s first-round draft pick “nothing short of miraculous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By the grace of God, Ricky Pearsall is here with the team, and doing well,” Lynch said. “We just all feel incredibly blessed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After appearing at an autograph signing earlier Saturday, Pearsall was walking to his car alone at 3:30 p.m., carrying shopping bags from one of Union Square’s luxury stores, when the suspect “spotted him for his expensive watch,” the\u003cem> San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em> reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suspect approached Pearsall at gunpoint over the Rolex near the corner of Geary Street and Grant Avenue.
