"I often say that Miami's not just the hottest city in America, it's the hottest city in the world," said Rodney Barreto, Miami Super Bowl Host Committee chairman. "It's great to welcome these great companies into the exclusive group of those looking to be part of this huge Miami event where the world will be watching, and we simply couldn't do it without these great partners."

Footprint will be featured in the Super Bowl LIVE Environmental Village, free to the public, January 25 - February 1, 2020, showcasing two innovative exhibits of plastic-free food ware products.

SaferWatch will be used across the county as a free mobile application that allows citizens to report crimes, suspicious activity and potential threats using their smartphones. Safer Watch will be used by approximately 10,000 staff and volunteers to help monitor Super Bowl LIV and the events leading up to the game, such as Super Bowl Experience presented by Lowe's. The app is also open to the public for both residents and visitors of South Florida to utilize.  

Threats and suspicious activity reported on SaferWatch will go directly and immediately to onsite command centers including the Miami-Dade Police Department, City of Miami Police Department and Miami Beach Police Department, who will be able to view incoming intelligence and directly communicate detailed safety instructions based on the incident. 

"We are proud to partner with the Miami Super Bowl Host Committee on keeping Super Bowl LIV as fun but also as safe as possible," said Geno Roefaro, CEO of SaferWatch. "With any large event it's important for the community to take an active role in safety and report anything they see that may not be right. The SaferWatch app allows you to easily send in photos and videos and it also allows you to receive important safety instructions directly from local law enforcement and security personnel to keep you informed."

American Medical Response (AMR), a subsidiary of Global Medical Response, the nation's leading medical transportation service that will serve as the official medical transportation service of the Host Committee. In an effort to ensure Super Bowl attendees are provided with a safe environment and top rate medical care, AMR is installing two first aid stations at Super Bowl LIVE as well as one first aid station at MSBHC's Brightline Volunteer Headquarters.

"As a longstanding medical transportation service provider in Miami, we are committed to ongoing safety of the residents and visitors in this great city," said Global Medical Response COO Ted Van Horne. "We are proud to sponsor the Miami Super Bowl Host Committee and partner with the Miami-Dade County Fire Department and local Health Systems to ensure people have a safe, enjoyable experience during the events."

MSBHC and its sponsor partners are dedicated to ensuring the positive impact of hosting the Super Bowl is felt far beyond the field and long after the final whistle, including a wide variety of sustainability and community projects taking place throughout Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.

The new partners join existing partners including Perry Ellis and Brightline. Perry Ellis International joined the ranks as the official uniform provider for the Miami Super Bowl Host Committee. The custom uniforms provided are made of recycled materials and will be worn by MSBHC staff as well as over 10,000 volunteers serving as ambassadors throughout South Florida. Brightline has provided their Virgin MiamiCentral train station to serve as the official headquarters for the Host Committee's volunteer program.
