44. Taylor Gilmore: A Woman who helped run San Francisco for Super Bowl LX

Send us Fan MailTaylor Gilmore is back — and she's got receipts. The Game's first-ever repeat guest returns to give us the full Super Bowl LIX debrief: what it was actually like to help orchestrate one of the biggest events in sports, from flipping traffic lanes to managing duffel-bag-toting autograph stalkers to oyster shucking at the Bay Area kickoff party. Taylor is the Director of Events and Partnerships for the Bay Area Host Committee, and yes — she's about to do it all again for the FIFA World Cup. If you haven't listened to her first appearance on The Game (Episode 16), go back and do that first, because this one picks right up where we left off. We also get into: how NFL scouting actually works (not what you think), why Victoria's Super Bowl week plans completely fell apart (in the best way), moving to Denver, Jordan Chiles on the gymnastics mat with nails, and how to finesse your way into the right rooms at Super Bowl LX in LA.In This EpisodeWhat Super Bowl week looks like from the inside — the logistics you never see Why the weather was the real MVP of Super Bowl LIXProfessional autograph stalkers, duffel bags, and allThe difference between a VIP event and a fan event (hint: it's the details)How NFL scouting actually works — from area scout to national scout to the war roomWhy Victoria's Super Bowl went sideways and why it was exactly rightOlivia Dean at the Uber One party, and why Victoria almost threw her phoneMoving to Denver, living with your best friend, and the blessings of being 31 and unmarriedSheridan Blanford — the woman the world needs to knowSuper Bowl LX in LA: how not to repeat Victoria's mistakeAbout Taylor GilmoreTaylor Gilmore is the Director of Events and Partnerships for the Bay Area Super Bowl Host Committee, where she spent the better part of a year orchestrating Super Bowl LIX logistics — from credentials to concert experiences to making sure the talent actually got out of the airport. Up next: FIFA World Cup, also coming to the Bay Area. She's a former gymnast, a coach's kid who grew up living the NFL wife life before she actually lived it, and one of the most composed people in a fire drill you will ever meet.
