00:00 Super Bowl is coming to Vegas on February 11th.
00:03 Officials held a press conference on Wednesday noting that security will be tight,
00:07 but there are no specific threats they have regarding safety.
00:10 Here's what the NFL Chief Security Officer had to say.
00:14 "There is no known specific or credible threats to the game or any of the events
00:18 surrounding Super Bowl. As always, you'll see an increased security presence not only
00:23 around the stadium on game day, but also around all of our other events. More than 30 federal,
00:28 state and local public safety and security agencies have participated in the planning
00:33 of this event over the last 18 months."
00:35 Reuters notes that POP superstar Taylor Swift could be among the 65,000 people in attendance
00:40 at the NFL's biggest game of the year, but her presence has not generated any credible threats
00:46 either. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said security will be extremely tight
00:51 whether Swift or any other celebrity is at the event, which carries a special
00:56 event assessment rating designation.
