Super Bowl LX, featuring the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks, is far more than the NFL’s championship game. It involves one of the most complex logistics operations in the world, with hundreds of trucks, ultra-precise technical production, layered security controls, and an industrial-scale deployment that turns Levi’s Stadium into a temporary city for 72 hours.

On Sunday, February 8, Super Bowl LX will bring together the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks at Levi’s Stadium in California. While millions of fans watch the game on television, an extraordinary logistics machine is operating behind the scenes—one comparable to a highly complex industrial operation.

Beyond the final score, the Super Bowl has become a case study in logistics, transportation, risk management, and operational coordination, where every minute, every truck, and every access point is planned with precision.

Trucks and Transportation: The Physical Backbone of the Super Bowl

An event of this scale requires intensive ground logistics. For Super Bowl LX, between 400 and 500 trucks are mobilized, directly or indirectly, entering the stadium and surrounding areas during different phases of the operation.

Key vehicle categories include:

  • Trucks carrying structures, stages, and technical supports for the halftime show

  • Specialized broadcast and television production units equipped with satellite technology, cameras, servers, and data systems

  • Refrigerated vehicles for food and beverage supply

  • Trucks for fencing, perimeter control, and security signage

  • Transportation for official merchandise and sponsor materials

  • Units carrying sports equipment, locker room setups, and technical gear

Truck movements are managed under strictly regulated time windows, with special permits and a strong emphasis on overnight operations. The goal is to minimize urban disruption and ensure that every load arrives, is unloaded, and departs according to a meticulously timed logistics schedule.

Halftime Show: High-Precision Logistics in Minutes

One of the most critical moments of the entire operation is the setup of the halftime show, headlined this year by Bad Bunny. The show’s infrastructure must be assembled and dismantled in less than eight minutes during halftime.

This requires:

  • Dozens of mobile platforms custom-designed for the event

  • Highly trained technical crews operating with pit-crew precision

  • Pre-event logistics rehearsals, conducted without spectators and timed to the second

  • Simultaneous coordination among engineering, sound, lighting, and security teams

From an operational standpoint, this is a high-precision logistics exercise where any deviation can impact the continuity of the live broadcast.

Television Production and Global Broadcast

The Super Bowl is one of the most watched events on the planet. To make this possible, between 70 and 100 audiovisual production trucks are deployed, functioning as mobile technical control centers.

From these units, teams manage:

  • Live high-definition broadcast feeds

  • Instant replays and real-time analysis

  • Specialized cameras and multi-camera configurations

  • Satellite connections and redundant data links

These production hubs require temporary power infrastructure, backup networks, and contingency systems, effectively turning the stadium into a global logistics and technology node broadcasting to more than 180 countries.

Security and Access Control: Mission-Critical Logistics

Security is another core pillar of the operation. The system is organized in layered perimeters, with differentiated access controls based on user type:

  • Players and coaching staff

  • Logistics providers and operational personnel

  • Accredited media

  • Performers and production teams

  • VIP guests and public officials

Coordination involves the NFL, local and state law enforcement, and federal agencies. From a logistics perspective, this structure allows every movement to be tracked and controlled—from truck arrivals to the exit of technical crews—reducing operational risk and ensuring full traceability.

On-Field Context and Game Stakes

On the field, Super Bowl LX features two historic franchises. The Patriots are chasing their seventh championship, which would make them the most decorated team in NFL history. The Seahawks, meanwhile, are aiming for their second Vince Lombardi Trophy in their fourth Super Bowl appearance.

Young quarterback Drake Maye could become one of the youngest quarterbacks to win a Super Bowl, while Seattle is relying on a well-established defense and a game-control-oriented tactical approach.

Much More Than Football

Super Bowl LX shows that major sporting events are also high-exposure logistics operations, where transportation, security, technology, and risk management are just as critical as athletic performance.

For sectors such as transportation, trucking, insurance, infrastructure, and logistics, the Super Bowl offers a clear example of how rigorous planning and precise execution allow a global-scale event to run without disruption—even under extreme time constraints, pressure, and public visibility.
