LOS ANGELES — Authorities said Tuesday they identified no credible threats to the Super Bowl.
At a news conference, federal and local authorities said they have been monitoring for various threats to the NFL championship game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals, such as terrorist strikes and cyberattacks, and have plans in place to deal with any attempts to disrupt the event. They added that they are also watching out for criminal activity often associated with such massive events, including the sale of counterfeit goods.
Asked about the beating of a San Francisco 49ers fan outside SoFi Stadium during the NFC championship game last month, Inglewood Police Chief Mark Fronterotta said his department plans to deploy extra officers on Sunday to areas outside the stadium, including the parking lots, which "will be extensively covered."
