At Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium, one of the mostwatched sporting events of the year was interrupted by an unexpected burst of chaos.
Midway through the fourth quarter of the Seattle Seahawks’ 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots, a shirtless man sprinted onto the field, dodging security and momentarily distracting players and spectators alike. The incident quickly captured the attention of fans both in the stadium and across the globe.
The man was identified as 25-year-old Alex Gonzlez, a Miami-based social media influencer and day trader with a growing online following. Gonzlez‘s approach was unusual: he wore Meta smart glasses that recorded the entire episode from his own perspective.
The footage, which he later shared on social media, shows him laughing, weaving between security personnel, and even playfully taunting them while running across the field. At one point, he could be heard saying, “Alright, you guys got me. I’m right here,” as he allowed himself to be cornered near the 10-yard line.
Gonzlez‘s body also carried messages promoting a trading software business with which he is associated. Phrases like “Trade with Athena” were scrawled across his torso, making it clear that the stunt had a marketing element.
Before entering the field, Gonzlez reportedly used a simple disguise – a fake beard, backward cap, and a Patriots chain – to blend in with the crowd. Meanwhile, another man attempted a similar field jump but was immediately tackled by security and did not make it past the sidelines.
Field invasion shines spotlight on security measures
Authorities from the Santa Clara Police Department confirmed that both Gonzlez and the other intruder, 24-year-old Sebastian Rivera Jimenez, were arrested on misdemeanor charges for trespassing and field incursion.
While NBC chose not to broadcast the incident live, play-by-play announcer Mike Tirico referenced the chaos on air, jokingly calling Gonzlez “some rocket scientist running around the field.”
The event has renewed discussions about stadium security, highlighting how even the most high-profile venues remain vulnerable to determined individuals.
This was not Gonzlez‘s first high-profile field incursion. Reports indicate that he was involved in a similar stunt during Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, when the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers.
That earlier incident, like this one, generated headlines and widespread social media attention, showcasing how one individual’s bold, unpredictable actions can quickly become a viral spectacle.
Although play resumed shortly after the disruption, Gonzlez‘s sprint remains one of the most talked-about moments of the 2026 Super Bowl.
