stadium. the coast guard set up a maritime exclusion zone to block anyone from being in the creek channel. levels are low despite the rain we have had this winter. but the coast guard will be prepared for anything. >> at this time, we know of no specific credible threat directed at super bowl 50 or related events. >> reporter: national guard teams are already monitoring the perimeter and dozens of law enforcement agencies are involved in the overall security effort. in fact, at this early hour, 5:33 in the morning, you can see security guards out there. we are outside the convention center next to the stadium. this is as close as we can get. tasman is closed until tuesday. so with guards here around the clock, they are not taking any chances. they just want to make sure this area is secure leading up to the big game. from levi's stadium, jackie ward, kpix 5. you can't find a bigger television event in the united states than the super bowl. a tremendous amount of effort goes into those broadcasts. this year it is cbs' turn.

our turn. there will be 70 cameras in santa clara including more than 30 mounted around the stadium for a 360-degree view of all the action. you get a bird's-eye view from a camera mounted to a plane and from a tower cam at great america next door. >> we have all the bells and whistles known to mankind and sports broadcasting. >> cbs will hold an off air rehearsal that will happen tomorrow using the football team from mountain view's st. francis high school as standins for the broncos and panthers. and taking a look at that countdown clock, we are now just 3 days away from kickoff between the broncos and panthers and that's right here on kpix 5. and expect more fireworks for the game. this is just a sample of what's in store at the stadium. crews are busy yesterday testing pyrotechnics for the big event. and coldplay is in san francisco today talking to reporters about their super bowl halftime show.

detects that. this is levi's stadium. 46 degrees. it's supposedly 50 in san francisco but when you factor in the wind, wind chill makes it feel like the low 40s. we have the frontal boundary sweeping through the bay area falling apart at the seams but see all those clouds? those will drift across the area today only partial clearing of the skies. high temperatures in the 50s and low 60s. and by the way if you want to come by sens restaurant embarcadero 4, we will be here today at super bowl city expect 60 degrees. have a great time. we are going to jump over to the bay bridge right now where the metering lights are on and we are starting to see a bit of a backup there business as usual. you're seeing some stop-and-go conditions beyond the first overpass there. that's the 880 overcrossing. eastbound 92 near [ non-english language ] , it looks like it may be blocking lanes so expect some delays as you work your way through there. also on the flip side east 92 connecting over to northbound 880 we are getting reports of

another accident here also. chp not on scene yet. we'll get more details coming up. but two cars reported over to the right shoulder. dumbarton westbound at the toll plaza worth of an accident, as well. but your drive times along the peninsula look good now. time now 5:37. santa clara university is offering free vaccinations to students today to prevent a meningitis outbreak. kiet do reports from scu explaining why the university is taking immediate tack -- why the university is taking immediate action. >> reporter: health officials don't know if a third student will turn up sick but they aren't taking any chances. they urge all students to come down and get vaccinated. starting today there will be a free clinic for all students for meningitis and chances are, the students have not gotten this particular vaccine because it's new and specifically designed to fight this strain that's sickened two students here on campus. now, this all began on sunday when a student got sick and

went to the hospital. then two days later another student got sick. tests confirm it was the same bikial strain of meningitis known as cerro group b. health officials are searching for anyone who may have had contact with these two students. >> we are focusing intensely for the next several days on ensuring the health and welfare of our students encouraging them to get vaccinated. >> at santa clara we are concerned about the welfare of our students, faculty and staff. >> reporter: coming up on saturday, there's going to be a huge super bowl-related event called the super community celebration. that will go on as scheduled. kiet do, kpix 5. here's an animated look at what caltrans is tackling. they are lowering the first 504- foot truss span and while the

something called, are you ready, the jock tax. this tax is anyone who earns income outside of the state in which he files taxes. it's calculated by the number of duty days that a play spends in any game function including practice, training, playing, even meetings. okay. so let's say you're an injured player you're traveling with the team. you still have to pay whether or not you practice. california's the highest jock tax rate in the nation. 13.3% levee on the teams. i think it will work out ak for you guys. >> i think it will be fine. >> which team is better for stocks? >> well, investors should be rooting for the panthers and here's why. when the super bowl winner comes from the national football conference like carolina, the dow jones industrial average rises 11.4% on average that year. but when the victor is from the

american football conference like the broncos, it goes up 3.6%. before you start making your trades on monday morning, just remember, there are always outliers. remember 2008? that's when the new york football giants of the nfc defeated the afcs new england patriots. and guess what! the dow went down by 34%. then 2013 the ravens won from the afc and the market was supposed to be not so great the dow was up 26%. what does this tell us? it's just a stupid stat and fun. [ laughter ] >> kind of like punxsutawney phil. he is never right but we go with it. >> i was going to say the broncos are worth more than that. >> we'll find out. if it goes up, we'll be happy. jill schlesinger, thank you, live from san francisco. presidential candidates play the blame game on the campaign trail. what they are all saying as time falls short to win over
