ATLANTA — Take a look around downtown Atlanta and it’ll be impossible to miss.

Super Bowl LIII is less than two weeks away, and there are signs of the big game everywhere.

From the massive logo on Mercedes-Benz Stadium and several hotels, to the construction of all the outdoor events, you can tell it’s almost Super Bowl week!

On Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots clinched spots in the biggest football game of the year.

Now, it seems like there are only finishing touches before the first events kick off on Saturday.

"It's exciting. We've had two great weeks and the weather has cooperated. We've got a lot of the build ready to go. We've got to be open for business come Saturday, and everything's on track and looking great," Atlanta Super Bowl Host Committee COO Brett Daniels said.

Daniels insists the road closures and masses of people shouldn't keep locals away from all the events.

"That's the exact opposite of what we want," he said. "We want people to come down here. We want Atlanta residents to be part of the Super Bowl."

Security plans that took two years to draw up will go operational on Saturday.

"From a safety perspective, we feel very confident," Daniels said.
