Taylor Gilmore: Behind the Superbowl Logistics and 49ers Back Office
Send us a text
The sound you hear before a mega-event isn’t a roar—it’s a checklist. We’re joined by Taylor Gilmore, a coach’s daughter turned operations leader who’s helping steer Super Bowl 60 and six FIFA World Cup matches in the Bay Area, while building a life with her fiancé in the 49ers front office. From small-town Fridays to global Sundays, Taylor brings a rare blend of hospitality, logistics, and heart that makes the biggest shows in sports actually work.
We get into the real mechanics of a host committee: raising every operational dollar, mapping venues for commissioner parties and owners’ dinners, and threading transportation through a region where the stadium sits in Santa Clara but the hotel stack lives in San Francisco. Taylor opens the playbook on security strategy, explaining how worst-case drills, layered perimeters, and coordinated public safety turn anxiety into readiness. She also champions local suppliers, pushing league spend into Bay Area businesses to amplify economic impact long after the confetti falls.
On the personal side, Taylor shares her sideline meet-cute with Josh, how a long-distance foundation helps during combine weeks and draft crunch, and why college football energy still hits different. We talk FIFA’s final draw, supporter marches, transit flow, and how to create safe gathering spaces for fans who may never enter the stadium. And yes, there’s a wedding wedged neatly between World Cup and training camp—a fitting finish to an 18‑month sprint that also included NBA All‑Star.
