Police announce Broad St. parking restrictions for Super Bowl
For example, businesses near City Hall will not be asked to close early on Super Bowl Sunday.
"There's an opportunity for people to make money. We're not asking any businesses to close, I don't know where that came from. They have the right to be open and we're going to protect
those businesses," said Police Commissioner Richard Ross.
Another rumor: that light poles will be greased with gear oil to prevent climbing, unlike the Crisco that was used for the NFC Championship.
"We're not using gear oil," Ross said. "We're not telling you what we are using as well, but it is not gear oil."
