going to assess the situation, maybe we'll re-open it as people leave but people who are leaving they are saying your not allowed to come back in. so before you leave super bowl city, make sure they have done everything they need to do before they head out. live in super bowl city, emily turner, kpix 5. >> it's all about safety tonight, as well. we just heard from bart, trains are stopping at the embarcadero station because of the huge crowds. >> and some breaking news. reports coming in that the former 49ers owner danny debartolo has been named to the nfl hall of fame. as team owner debartolo led the 9ers to five super bowl championships. the word is coming from the nfl honors and awards ceremony under way right now. it is a huge honor for a man loved by players. much more on this coming up in sports. the official announcement will come tonight at the nfl honors show which will air right here on kpix 5. >> the show at the bill graham civic auditorium in san francisco draws a who's who of

[ laughter ] >> he is back in pleasanton now. >> he is. he was a good kid. you done good. >> thank you very much.

the free concert series wraps up tonight. >> this is the climax of all of this. the best is for last. alicia keys. she needs no introductions. as a matter of fact, even though she doesn't take the stage for another two hours and 40 minutes, look at what's going on behind me. tens of thousands of folks began arriving at 8:00 this morning. they will have waited more than 12 hours before alicia keys takes the stage. her first number one song was 15 years ago, fallen back in the year 2001 but she has been rocking it ever since. 15 years of number one songs of number one albums and certainly she has a following all around the country including here in the bay area. this is a last of the city stage concerts presented by levi's. each one brought a huge crowd but none bigger than this where we have "goapele" an oakland act. he is an oakland performer right here from the bay area. but all the focus is on alicia keys tonight. 8:15. she takes the stage. we are already at capacity.

word came out that we're at capacity for the city stage. that happened at 4:30. think about that. everybody was already in and will have waited for nearly four hours before alicia takes the stage. but everybody here i talked to said it is worth it. she is that good and they get to see her for free live in downtown san francisco tonight. i'll have your forecast and talk more about this beautiful weather coming up in a few minutes. back to you. >> she is an incredible performer. it's going to be an awesome concert. >> the folks are ready to go, too. >> absolutely. >> thank you. the bay area's hopping tonight! in addition to the alicia keys concert there's the nfl experience at the moscone center. the red-hot chilly peps at pier 70 and the taste of the nfl at the cow palace. metallica at at&t park and the warriors are playing tonight at oracle arena. >> well, the final touches being put on levi's stadium as we speak. chopper 5 was overhead this afternoon. crews were painting the nfl logo on the field.

you know they're close there. kpix 5's maria medina is outside levi's stadium. maria, the teams are getting ready for what some are predicting will be the biggest super bowl ever. >> reporter: yeah. it feels like that. all the excitement in the air right now. the teams did their final walk- through this morning and while no one was allowed inside the stadium, we still got you a sneak peek. [ chanting ] >> reporter: less than 24 hours before the big game -- >> let's go, broncos! >> reporter: -- the denver broncos most die-hard fans are showing in the bay area. this man traveled more than 900 miles to get to santa clara. >> we get together every weekend rain, snow or shine on game day. we are the first ones in the lot. the last ones to leave. >> reporter: as fans gear up for the 50th super bowl, chopper 5 captured the broncos gearing up, as well. this morning, the broncos did their final walk-through at levi's stadium going over scripted scenarios on offense and defense and special teams.

and if you look closely, you will see peyton manning throw the ball. it's also family day for the broncos. we spotted their relatives boarding buses at the marriott then arriving at the stadium where they took pictures with the players. a proud day for the team, their relatives and the fans who will fill up the stadium tomorrow. >> we're coming off, you cam newton! we're coming after you, boy! >> reporter: all right. i don't want you guys to think that we forgot about the panthers. this picture tweeted out by the coach's daughter courtney rivera of the entire team. this is proof there's excitement in the air here. i know this isn't super bowl city but a lot of fans already walking through here arriving here at levi's stadium one day before the super bowl. just a preview of what's to come.maria medina, kpix 5.

that they are stopping intermittently at embarcadero. riders must get off at montgomery station. no delays for bart and muni. no shortage of security for, ,,,,

bowl 50. chopper 5 spotted this military helicopter on golf course right next no shortage of security for super bowl 50. chopper 5 spotted this military helicopter on the golf course right next to levi's stadium this afternoon. and that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to keeping everyone safe tomorrow. >> you bet. kpix 5 reporter len ramirez is outside levi's stadium. lenny, you got an exclusive look inside the security operations. tell us about it. >> reporter: yeah. one of the big things about security at this super bowl is monitoring social media because of what happened in paris and san bernardino and some of the clues that were missed there. officials here don't want to miss anything. it's an impressive show of strength on the streets of santa clara.

heavily armed military personnel, officers with assault rifles, bomb-sniffing dogs and combat helicopters overseeing it all. >> there will be folks in plainclothes out there that you probably won't see. >> reporter: santa clara police won't give details on their security plan for game day tomorrow. only that law enforcement will be ready for just about anything. >> tomorrow is going to be very important for us. it gives us a chance to see what we have been planning for the last two years if it really works. we have an accident plan and just want to see it unfold. >> reporter: in today's world, much of the plan has to do with the internet and social media. >> social media has changed the game completely. >> reporter: kpix 5 was given access to the super bowl 50 joint information center at a secret location in sunnyvale. it's where homeland security, law enforcement and cyber security experts are monitoring internet chatter and social media messages that could flag anything from a traffic accident to a terrorist threat. >> it has really become something that the public and law enforcement have to follow and step into to understand

what's going on in the community and make sure we are giving the information to the broadest base we possibly can. >> reporter: now, in addition to looking for the obvious major security threats, officers are also looking for things like counterfeiting of nfl merchandising and ticket scalping as well as human trafficking. one thing they want to get across to the public especially the younger generation is that if you see something, say something. and they want to you call 911. there is a tendency for some younger people to want to put things on twitter right away. they say don't do that. put it on the 911 system so that everyone can find out about it at once. reporting live in santa clara, len ramirez, kpix 5. >> so important and excellent advice. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. all right. tomorrow night, immediately after the super bowl, stay tuned for a special live version of "the late show" with stephen colbert immediately following the game. special guests include tina fey, will ferrell and megyn kelly. so what happens when you get dozens of the best chefs in
