Super Proximity

We’ve got the numbers on the football fans flocking to our stadium.

This year’s Super Bowl will be in Santa Clara, and a lot will be happening on campus the day before the game. Join us for Super Saturday.
Levi’s Stadium, site of Super Bowl L on Feb. 7, 2016, is 103.84 football fields from campus. Broncos helped design and build this palace of sport. Whether you’ll be there in person or one of 100 million fans spending Super Sunday in front of a TV, consider inhaling some fresh air at SCU on Super Saturday. A number of super things will be happening.

$500 paid to William “Pudge” Heffelfinger to play in a football game in 1892 (equivalent to $13,100 today). The amount appears on a ledger dubbed “Pro Football Birth Certificate” that will be on display in the Leavey Center along with other memorabilia from the Pro Football Hall of Fame

Tickets for SCU Super Saturday events are free but must be acquired in advance online. We’ll post information on that as it becomes available. In the meantime, here’s more info from the City of Santa Clara Super Community Celebration.
