A media bus carrying reporters broke down on the way to Super Bowl 50 at Levi’s Stadium.
Everyone with a ticket or credential to Super Bowl 50 is on their way to Levi’s Stadium to watch the biggest game of the year between the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos. Unfortunately for many members of the media, they might have a hard time getting to the game.
On the way to Super Bowl 50, a media bus carrying many high-profile media members broke down on the way to the game. Many of those members of the media began live tweeting their experience, including NFL Network reporter Albert Breer.
Update: Our shuttle to the stadium just broke down.

Still no progress, so I'm just out here scrolling through twitpics of an empty football stadium on my phone. ☹️

Then the California Highway Patrol arrived and everyone was excited that things were about to get moving and hopefully get these media members to the game.

Any Uber drivers free on I-80? https://t.co/f7V9i45x1m

Unfortunately for Breer and the rest of the media, despite being told that another bus was coming to pick them up, they still were left waiting long after the bus was supposed to actually arrive.
45 minutes ago, the new bus was coming to get us in 10 minutes. The bus driver seemed to be offended when someone brought that up. #update

My bus to #SB50 has broken down and sitting on side of road for an hour. At least it is not a key game or anything! pic.twitter.com/Nk09O4wkA6

The time is ticking and Super Bowl 50 is drawing near. However, there’s a good chance that if a rescue bus doesn’t arrive soon, then some media members could end up being late to their biggest assignment of the season.
