Super Bowl LX Triggers Unprecedented Private Jet Exodus from Bay Area
In the immediate aftermath of the Seattle Seahawks' commanding 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots at Super Bowl LX, a remarkable aerial evacuation unfolded across Northern California. A swarm of high-profile attendees who had arrived via private aircraft wasted no time departing the Bay Area on Sunday night, creating a dramatic post-game spectacle captured by flight tracking technology.
Flight Data Reveals Staggering Departure Surge
An extraordinary graphic from Flightradar24 documented the wild private jet exodus that occurred in the hours following Seattle's championship triumph at Levi's Stadium. The data revealed a combined 1,136 percent increase in departures from all five Bay Area airports compared to the previous Sunday evening.
The affected airports included San Francisco International, San Jose International, Oakland International, Livermore Municipal, and Hayward Executive. Aviation analysts estimate approximately 600 private jets departed these facilities in the initial post-game hours, with many more expected to follow throughout the coming week as the celebrity migration continued.
Celebrity Spectacle On and Off the Field
The NFL's championship showcase attracted an impressive array of A-list personalities, creating a star-studded atmosphere throughout the event. Notable attendees included music power couple Justin and Hailey Bieber, fashion icon Kendall Jenner, hip-hop mogul Jay-Z, tennis legend Roger Federer, and rap sensation Cardi B.
Comedic talents Adam Sandler and Will Ferrell added to the celebrity presence, while Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton and reality television star Kim Kardashian were spotted watching together from a VIP suite, fueling speculation about their rumored romance.
Halftime Controversy and Political Commentary
While the Seahawks dominated on the football field, the halftime show generated significant attention and controversy. Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, delivered a spectacular performance that transformed Levi's Stadium into a vibrant celebration of Latin and Hispanic culture.
The production featured elaborate staging including a sugarcane plantation setting, domino players, a Latino wedding scene, and utility poles that the performer climbed during his energetic set. He was joined by special guests including Lady Gaga, Pedro Pascal, Ricky Martin, Jessica Alba, Karol G, and social media influencer Alix Earle.
However, the performance drew sharp criticism from former President Donald Trump, who took to social media to express his disapproval. Trump, who attended the previous year's Super Bowl in New Orleans but skipped this year's event, watched the halftime show and subsequently posted a scathing review on his Truth Social platform.
"Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World," Trump wrote in his characteristically blunt assessment.
The former president continued his critique, stating: "It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn't represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. This 'Show' is just a 'slap in the face' to our Country."
Notable Absences and Special Recognitions
This year's Super Bowl marked the first since 2022 without Taylor Swift in attendance, following the Kansas City Chiefs' failure to reach the championship game. However, Swift's fiancé Travis Kelce was present for a pregame ceremony where he was honored as his team's nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award.
The Seahawks' victory ended a 12-year championship drought for the franchise, sparking celebrations both in Santa Clara and back in Seattle where fans reveled in the long-awaited triumph.
As the final whistle blew and the championship confetti settled, the immediate focus for many of the event's elite attendees shifted to rapid departure logistics. The resulting private jet exodus created an unprecedented aviation event that underscored the extraordinary scale and spectacle of modern Super Bowl celebrations.
