Imagine paying the amount of money it takes to go to the Super Bowl. Now, think of blowing all of that money to run on the field and get arrested, with television not even showing it.
That’s exactly what one man did at last month’s Super Bowl LVIII and now he’s paying for it in a big way.
Here’s the Las Vegas Review-Journal with more.
Alex Gonzalez, 23, said in posts on Instagram that he didn’t want to get old and regretful for not having tried to streak a Super Bowl in the prime of his youth. So, at about 6:15 p.m., while the third quarter was being played, he and friend Sebastian Rivera, 22, both of Miami, jumped out onto the field and ran, Las Vegas police alleged in an arrest report.
“One of my goals has always been to streak the Super Bowl,” Gonzalez said in the Instagram video. “And I don’t want to be that guy, that I’m rich and I’m 50 years old and I’m like, ‘Damn, I wish I would’ve done that when I was younger.’ No. I did it now and I’ll do it again.”
Gonzalez also spoke of the incident, and the lead-up to it, in a video posted Tuesday on YouTube that also showed him and Rivera inside the stadium during the Super Bowl.
“We will go down as legends,” Gonzalez said in the video titled “How I Streaked The Super Bowl in 2024.”
Ok, sure. He crossed it off his bucket list. I can’t imagine that the few seconds of adrenaline is worth the night in prison and getting tackled by police.
Not to mention the expensive fines that come with streaking at the Super Bowl. How high were the fines? They were to the tune of an incredible $42,000! There’s no way streaking is worth $42,000.
Hopefully, that serves as a deterrent to others who may think of doing this in the future.
