Ahead of the Super Bowl, NBC will stage a unique live broadcast from the legendary Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay. For the first time in history, part of the pregame show will be hosted on the grounds of the former high-security federal prison, which today is a popular museum drawing more than a million visitors each year. This historic event will take place before the game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks.
Special reports from Alcatraz will feature well-known figures from American football: Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy, two-time Super Bowl champion Rodney Harrison, and host Jack Collingsworth. Viewers will not only see the preparations for the year’s biggest sporting event, but will also learn about the island’s unique history — from military base to notorious prison to an important sanctuary for seabirds.
