The NFL He stated this Wednesday that the Super Bowl LIX of the next February 9 will have sufficient security at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, a city where this Wednesday an attack caused at least 15 deaths and led to college football’s Sugar Bowl postponed.
“The NFL and the local host committee have been working collaboratively with local, state and federal agencies for the past two years and have developed comprehensive security plans. These planning sessions will continue as they do for all major NFL events and “We are confident that attendees will have a safe and enjoyable experience at the Super Bowl,” the league wrote in a statement.
The NFL announcement was made public after the attack that left at least a dozen dead before the college football quarterfinal game, which caused that game to be postponed to this Thursday.
The incident occurred early this Wednesday on Bourbon Street, a popular French neighborhood, approximately 20 blocks from the stadium, where dozens of people were celebrating the new year and preparing to later attend the playoff game between the teams of the universities of Georgia and Notre Dame in the traditional Sugar Bowl, which has been contested since 1935.
A man, aboard a truck, intentionally ran over more than a dozen people, according to the Police. Then, after stopping the vehicle, he got out and shot at police officers, who ended up killing him.
“We are deeply saddened by the news of the devastating incident in New Orleans. Our thoughts are with the victims, the New Orleans community and all those affected,” the NFL posted.
Super Bowl LIX on February 9 will be the eighth to be played at the Caesars Superdome.
