Following a recent terrorist attack, authorities are deploying extensive measures to ensure safety for the February 9 event.

The NFL and federal law enforcement have significantly increased security measures for Super Bowl LIX in response to a January 1 terrorist attack on Bourbon Street that killed 14 people.
Over 125,000 fans are expected to attend the event in New Orleans, with visible security including SWAT teams, armored vehicles, drones, and additional cameras throughout the city.
Federal agencies like the Department of Homeland Security and FBI are collaborating with state and local law enforcement, with hundreds of federal officers deployed to the area.
Authorities aim to have at least one law enforcement officer visible on every city block in downtown New Orleans to reassure public safety.
City infrastructure, such as street barriers, is being updated following the attack, while intelligence analysts are monitoring for potential threats leading up to the game.
