Video: Students sneak into Super Bowl on game day?
Jay Vise Reporting
Two students from Savanah State University say they breached the supposedly extremely-tight security surrounding the Super Bowl, and have posted video online they say proves it. (Scroll down to view the video.)
The video shows the two young men supposedly sneaking past guard after guard at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome to get into the stadium in time for the half-time show.
In the video, the pair stroll past a large group of police officers on a street near the Superdome. The video then shows the two navigating tunnels and secure areas along the bottom floor of the arena.
USA Today reports the NFL "is aware of the incident."
"NFL security is conducting a review and following up with the appropriate authorities in New Orleans," spokesman Greg Aiello said in a statement.
