Neighbors and businesses in San Francisco prepare for the Super Bowl
Feb 01, 2026
Super Bowl 60 is now just one week away.
While the game is being played at Levi’s Stadium, the NFL Super Bowl Fan Experience will kick off Tuesday in San Francisco at Moscone Center.
There are also other big events happening all week long in the city.
Neighbors in the area of Howard Stree
t say they are making adjustments. Meanwhile, businesses NBC Bay Area spoke to say they’re getting ready to welcome all the football fans into the city.
Just a few blocks from Moscone Center, neighbors are watching the transformation ahead of Super Bowl week. One neighbor is bracing himself for the traffic, and that includes securing a spot for his car, before the Super Bowl Experience opens on Tuesday.
“I’ve been up since 6 a.m., I secure my parking for today but I’m not planning on moving my car so I’m just going to walk because to drive around or to get a parking no way,” said Cesar, who lives in San Francisco.
While Super Bowl 60 will be played in Santa Clara, San Francisco is hosting a number of events leading up to the game. Restaurants are looking forward to the boost in business.
“I’m very excited very excited, I think after Feb. 2 we’re going to get really busy,” said Mohammad Zughaiyer, owner of Oasis Grill.
One of Zughaiyer’s locations is across the street from all the action.
“I see a lot of people coming to my place and ask me for my phone numbers and the website and stuff like this, and they said I’m going to hear from them very soon big orders, catering orders yeah,” Zughaiyer said.
The last time the Bay Area hosted the Super Bowl in 2016, the Super Bowl 50 Host Committee said the games and events surrounding it brought $240 million revenue boost to the Bay Area’s economy. More than 57% of that money was spent in San Francisco.
“Yesterday was a scene already we just started the Super Bowl week, really excited I have, you know, all hands-on deck,” said John Konstin Jr., owner of John’s Grill.
“Well hopefully that means great things what is means is a lot of people coming into town for the Super Bowl, individuals fans of the team and obviously corporate sponsors and those people are going to need some place to eat and hopefully they will be dining out at restaurants across the city,” said Amy Cleary with the Golden Gate Restaurant Association.
Over at John’s Grill, they’re ready:
“We will be the place to be this week our reservations are packed we private events, full buyouts at the restaurant,” said John Konstin Jr.
