1. Prior to the game they claimed enforcement would be strict

Two weeks ago, the vast majority of fans attending the NFC championship game at SoFi between the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers were seen on camera ignoring the mandate. Even Gov. Gavin Newsom, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, Magic Johnson, and actor Rob Lowe took some heat for being photographed without masks.

The lax adherence to the mandate led one county supervisor, Kathryn Barger, to suggest that the mask rule be rescinded, since it apparently wasn't being followed anyway.

But the mask rule will remain in effect for the Super Bowl, and stadium officials insisted they will enforce it. The rule requires masks at all times, except when "actively" eating or drinking.

"That doesn't mean you buy a bucket of popcorn and eat it for two hours. Actively eating and drinking," Russ Simons, senior vice president for campus and facility operations for SoFi Stadium, said earlier. "We're on to you."
