NEW ORLEANS -- Six days and counting before Super Bowl LIX kickoff, the NFL and Department of Homeland Security unveiled their plan to make the Superdome the "safest place to be" on Sunday night. "I'm confident the safest place this weekend will be under the security umbrella we have in place around (the Superdome)," NFL chief security officer Cathy L. Lanier said Monday morning at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center following the Super Bowl kickoff press conference. "We have reviewed, and re-reviewed, all the events of January 1." Lanier's plan for ensuring a safe Super Bowl in New Orleans, the ninth on her watch, is two years in the making.
