Where most of the city remains shut down. Plus, this week is the largest ever series of events focusing on k through 12 education. We are talking to the president of National School choice week. Less than two weeks from today there is going to be a performance, beyonce. Coldplay. I think there is football around that. We are talking super bowl 50 because things are already happening. The city is changing. Peoples moods are changing as well. Thank you for joining us here on the 9 as you do every morning, i hope. Gasia mikaelian, sal castaneda, mike mibach. Less than two weeks before the super bowl. A party coming to down. Thank you for choosing that beyonce song. I struggled to find something appropriate. She, coldplay, the halftime act. There is a lot of other musical acts in the city around the big event. Metalica panthersbroncos. I heard from denver fans coming in. Yeah. We will talk about that more in a minute, ask you your thoughts as. First the Oakland AlamedaColiseum Authority is meeting with the Oakland Raiders management this morning and most likely they are going to talk about keeping the team here for one more season. Its a closed door meeting that started just about half an hour ago. At o. Co coliseum. The raiders and the group are expected to discuss extended their lease. Of course, many fans are still hoping for a new football stadium to be built here right in oakland. Perhaps even at the current coliseum site. I dont know about you, but i sat on the couch for seven hours yesterday to find this out. Super bowl 50. Levi stadium. Carolina panthers against the denver broncos. The broncos knocked down tom brady all day yesterday at mile high. Beating the beating the patriots in the afc championship game. The missed extra point in the First Quarter proved costly. That was the first extra point attempt he has missed in nine years. Denvers defense again on brady all game long forcing dozens of incompletions, grabbing two picks. Brady almost engineered a comeback though hitting gronk for a touchdown with 12 ticks left in the game. They had to go for two to tie it and brady was picked off there in the end zone. Broncos coming away with a 20 18 victorily. Mike, the Carolina Panthers will face the broncos on february 7. The panthers routed the Arizona Cardinals 4915. Carolina scored early and often, including this 22yard run by ted ginn jr. He is now with the panthers. Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer committed six turnovers, including four interceptions. The panthers are favored over the broncos to win the super bowl. The line i saw was four and a half points. Yeah. Well, four or four and a half. Okay. This morning there are some major San Francisco street closures already in effect because of super bowl festivities. Allie rasmus has been in the city talking about major changes along the embarcadero. Is the traffic there letting up at all on northbound embarcadero, or no . Reporter no. Not at all, gasia. In fact, in the last hour we have seen two traffic parking Traffic Enforcement officers come out here. They are directing traffic. If you look at that car right there with the flashing lights, Parking Enforcement has shut down the lefthand turn lane here at washington and embarcadero. These are the northbound lanes of embarcadero. They are still open. Up until a half hour ago you could do left to washington where all that congestion is over there. But i had a chance to talk to the Parking Enforcement officer. He said its way too backed up on washington. So they have closed down the lefthand turn lane. He said it will probably be closed the rest of the day. Maybe for the next three weeks. So this is traffic heading the people are dealing with because of the construction of something called super bowl city. Southbound lanes of embarcadero from washington over to don chee way and Market Street from the Ferry Building over to beal are completely closed down for that event. Its described as a sort of fanfare of sorts. They are going to have stages and free concerts. All of that construction though is having an impact as we showed you. Now, these closure are going to be in effect for the next three weeks until february 12th. The San FranciscoMunicipal Transportation Agency expects as many as a Million People to come to San Francisco for that super bowl city event and another attraction called the nfl experience. And thats happening at the mosconi center. Expect traffic in that area to also be more congested than usual, if you can believe that. Traffic is always bad in that area anyway. The recommendation, try to avoid driving in San Francisco for the next three weeks if you can. Of course, that is not always an option. Especially for businesses and delivery service. We talked to an electrician this morning who said his company stocked up on all the materials they are going to need for the next three weeks just so they can avoid having to drive through this. They know deliveries are going to be a problem. We also talked to two workers from a company that delivers uniforms to some of the restaurants in the city and they said everyone at their workplace was told to show up to work early at least an hour early for the next three weeks. People are trying to plan ahead. As you can see, it is having an impact on the traffic out here. We have seen a lot of Construction Equipment and big rigs and trailers bringing in some of that equipment that theyre using to build this super bowl city. And in the meantime traffic is pretty bad. This is the first monday morning that these closure are in effect. And we should say its not just bad here in the financial district, but we have been told folks trying to get from the financial district over to the bay bridge, over to the over to oakland are having tough time as well. That drive usually takes people 30 minutes from the financial district to the bridge. And were told its taking some folks as much as an hour. Back to you guys. Oh, all right, alley. Thank you so much. So a lot of people frustrated behind the wheel today. A lot of people cant wait for the big game. So our twitter question is this. Are you very excited to go to San Francisco . Why he. I know you are. But there are people who are not as excited as mike and sal because its a big change to your daily routine. So are you excited that super bowl is here . Can you not wait to be a part of the crowds . Or are you maybe thinking about getting out of town . Are you dreading the change in your routine . Is this good for you . Is this bad four . Let us know. Work from home, if you can . We cant do that, right. Hashtag ktvuthe9. There are the ones who love this and the ones who take the two week vacation. Right. Now, for more on all the action we are joined by ceo keith bruce of super bowl host committee. Nice write up in the chronicle by the way, sir. Thank you. Now that its here, what can we expect this week . The closures are there. What are yes going to see . Its go time. We have been working on this two and a half years. Its incredibly exciting. We have two great teams. A wonderful matchup. Two number one seeds in the damaging winds broncos and Carolina Panthers. Super bowl City Construction opened over the weekend, as you saw. So today is our first day for the commute, obviously, for people to i adapt to the closures. Everything is on target to open january 30. This saturday we are open for business. I left a call with the nfl, the two teams, and they are excited about coming to the bay area. Here you had the panthers and the broncos. Right. Two teams that i can expect will travel well. Yes. Any point since they won, have won in contact with their cities, with their fans, with the teams themselves saying, whats going on . Yeah. I did a couple of things last night for denver on their television stations. The fans are excited. They are booking flights. Our phones are lighting up this morning around tickets and private suite sales. I think you hit it on the head. We expect them to travel well. Denver and carolina are direct flights into san jose. The matchup, you have Peyton Manning. Likely this is his last super bowl. A shot at a second rick. Thats excite a shot at his second ring. Cam newton. Carolina has not been to a super bowl in 14 years. They are going to be looking for their first super bowl trophy. Its shaping up to be an exciting couple of weeks. Logistically, whats left for you and your team . We are so close. There must be final details you are hammering out . There are mostly around the stadium. This is a critical week for the stadium to manage all of the compounding that goes on around the stadium. We know the two teams. The decor package goes broncos and panthers. So that second half of of the stadium decor package will now go into place and youll see that transform. Super bowl city, there is a lot to be done over these five days to be ready to open january 30th at 11 00 a. M. Fan zone . Yeah, the fan zone, the fort pitt Bridge Energy zone, city taige presented by levis. A dozen corporate partner activations. Nfl and cbs compounds. Broadcast compounds. We are going to catch a break with the weather this week. The lack of rain over the next three days will help keep construction on time. Even if it rains, we are ready. I wanted to ask you about the rain. What if it does rain during super bowl city week . People just sure. Rain or shine. The stage is covered. The musical acts will happen as planned. The Fan Energy Zone is covered. Its a dome. People can walk inside and escape inclement weather. The location of super bowl city is near the embarcadero, malls, and Ferry Building. So we have encouraged the businesses to stay to open early and stay open late because there will be a lot of fans to patronize those businesses. Especially if it rains. How much of a downer would it be if it rains on the game itself . The last time it rained in a super bowl was 2007. Actually, Peyton Manning played in that game. It was in miami with the colts. They won that super bowl. So well be ready. You know, levi stadium hasnt had a lot of rain during regular 49ers games. Not these past couple years. It depends when the rain happens. If it happens in the morning leading up, thats not such a big deal. If it happens in the middle of the game, you know, during the halftime show, that would be unfortunate. But if it happens, the nfl, they are ready for every possible scenario. There is more than just the game. Talk to our viewers about the faces of 50. Yeah. Every year you see the roman numeral stage. Thats the ultimate selfie moment we have a gold 50 that will be going up right there in Justin Herman plaza. That will not only be the ultimate selfie structure to take your photo in front of the gold 50. Once you go inside, this has never been done before at a super bowl, you actually go inside the 50 structure and you see the faces of 50. So these are 50 photos of youth, young adults through the bay area who have benefited from the 50 funds. So 50 real stories. 50 real photos of kids and young adults who benefited from the 50 fund on one side. On the other side the nfls honor roll. The super bowl honor roll. That connects former players and coaches of the past 49 super bowls to their local high schools. Very cool. Today you are announcing more giving . We are. We hit another milestone today. 7. 5 million donated to various non profits. We are announcing grantee and Community Assessments another 2 million today. So its a big day on the giving front for super bowl 50. On the grant making front hitting 7. 5 million. Our goal is to deliver more than 12 million to local non profits. The faces of 50, when you see that on saturday, we hope it will make people really proud and emotional to see the Community Giving thats gone behind the scenes. Two quick things. One about the concerts. They are free in the area. Thats right. My question is, what if 50,000 people come down . Is it a first come, first serve . You will get a bracelet to come in. Its first come, first serve. It is open to the public. So were prepared for somewhere in the neighborhood of 7 to 8,000 fans, particularly for friday night one republic. Then they shut it . Yes. It closes 10 00 p. M. Friday and saturday night. Thats also for fans get on the party. Is thisannah decision for bringing it back . From day one we wanted this to be about bringing it back here. Get on that west coast rotation. Be the super bowl that happens out here every five or six years and join the rotation with miami and new orleans and so forth. From the beginning, mike, its been all about doing this as, you know, as great as we can to bring it back here and have 55 or 56, you know, super bowl lvi will be lvi. I think levis would like that. They would. Yes. Thank you for joining us on the 9. Coming up on mornings on 2 the 9, a major snowstorm hits the east coast and this weekend many people took advantage of the weather. Up next we take you live to washington, d. C. Where much of that city is still shut down today. A shakeup at twitter in ten minutes. The top executives who are leaving the company. E company. Weright now . Omen a mystery beauty treatment. Yeah that sounds great could they guess what it was . Very rich and smooth. Really creamy. I keep touching my face. So what had we used .

Dove, your daily beauty treatment for radiant skin. Welcome back to mornings on 2 the 9. This morning the east coast is digging itself out of a massive snowstorm. A near record snowfall was reported from the gulf coast to new england. And reporter joe wald man is in the middle of it all in washington, d. C. A lot of that city is still shut down in. Reporter absolutely. Schools are closed here. The federal government is closed as well. Thats because there is a ton of snow. Take a look at whats going on. You see this all over the city. I am told by our very knowledgeable photographer that that is a tractor with a frontend loader. I had no idea what we call it. Apparently that is what we call it. They are digging out here, trying to get out from underneath this record snowfall. It doesnt matter if you know them or not. Its just to make the effort to try to help when you see there is a need. Reporter residents along the eastern seaboard are working to get back on track lending a hand to neighbors left stranded by this weekends record setting blizzard. I love it. But its an inconvenience for everybody trying to get around, trying to take their car out. Reporter schools in washington, d. C. , baltimore, and philadelphia remain closed. The federal government also closed after nearly 30 inches of snow covered areas around the nations capitol. Officials are asking for patience urging people to stay indoors allowing crews to continue clearing the streets. I continue to be grateful for the residents who are heeding the warning to stay off the street and continue to caution those out on the street whether they are walking or they are on bikes to be careful. We just dont want to see anyone get hurt out there. Reporter this storm also unexpectedly dumping the second biggest snow totals on record in new york city while flooding the jersey shore. You know, it becomes a part of your life here. Youre kind of used to the flooding. Reporter and airlines are trying to get back on track also. There are more than 1300 Flights Canceled again today. Guys. Joe, i know Public Transit is so important in d. C. Whats the situation with mass transit . Reporter well, they had mass transit shut down as of friday through the weekend. It was unclear when they would start it back up. They started in limited fashion today. I mean very limited fashion. About three lines are running and thats it. People dont really have a way to get around the city. Another important thing to note here is that within the district people who do have cars, there is kind of an alley system behind the homes and the city does not plow those alleys. So even if you can clear your driveway and cars, you cant get through the alleys. Really people are kind of stuck in place. In the suburbs they got 30 inches of snow. Thats why they closed the government down. All right. Joe waldon live in d. C. Thank you. Well, the first familys dogs are enjoying the winter. They spent the weekend playing at the white house. Hundreds of people took part in a giant snowball fight. It was inspired by star wars and people were encouraged to come in costume. There were a lot of people in onesies. Participants had no shortage of ammunition. Coming up on mornings on 2 the 9, more than 15,000 events are scheduled around the country for National School choice week.
