Report: Pence is going to the Super Bowl

Vice President Mike Pence is scheduled to attend Sunday’s Super Bowl between the Atlanta Falcons and the New England Patriots, according to CNN.

Pence will join former President George H.W. Bush in attendance at the Super Bowl. Bush is set to perform the coin toss before the game.

Pence is the fourth sitting vice president to attend the game. Spiro Agnew, Bush and Al Gore all also attended the game when they were vice president.

Security is likely going to be even tighter for the game with Pence in attendance. The Super Bowl, one of the most-watched television events of the year, is already one of the most secure events for the Department of Homeland Security and the presence of high-ranking elected officials usually ramps up those procedures.
