In a bold move that left the audience in shock and admiration, Alex Gonzalez, 23, and Sebastian Rivera, 22, pulled off an audacious stunt during the Las Vegas Super Bowl. Running onto the field while the Chiefs were on offense in the third quarter, the duo were quickly apprehended but left their mark on the game. The two men later revealed that their ticket to jail came at an extravagant cost of $42,000.
The Men Had a Well-Prepared Plan
Gonzalez and Rivera, hailing from Miami, jumped over the security barrier and ran onto the Super Bowl field, adding more drama to an exciting game. Gonzalez, who had his Instagram handle boldly displayed across his shirtless chest, took to the social media to explain his motivations, expressing a fear of growing old with regrets and a desire to streak a Super Bowl while he could.
This sentiment was echoed in a YouTube video where Gonzalez and Rivera provided a behind-the-scenes look at their stadium venture, proudly declaring they would go down as legends. Describing his on-field experience during the Super Bowl streak, Gonzalez highlighted the adrenaline-fueled blur, framing the entire stunt as proof of his dedication to achieving his goals.
The second I hit the field, I kinda blacked out, and I pretty much came back when I was in the cell.

Gonzalez and Rivera were apprehended on the field and subsequently booked into the Clark County Detention Center on misdemeanor charges of prohibited conduct at an athletic event, as indicated by jail records. Gonzalez did not appear remorseful, proudly stating he would do it again if given the chance despite the consequences.
Their Escapades Will Cost Them Dearly
The eye-watering cost of the duo’s mischievous endeavor was revealed by Gonzalez, who proudly proclaimed that he had paid $42,000 just to go to jail. He displayed what seemed to be a receipt for two Super Bowl tickets, totaling $42,853.98, securing seats in the first row of Section 128 at Allegiant Stadium. The man, sporting 446,000 Instagram followers, claimed he was a day trader.
The two men’s YouTube video ends as they walk out of jail, discussing how stupid their actions were. However, both men were laughing, indicating they were not too worried. The full extent of their legal troubles will become clear on 17 April when the duo must appear in court. There is a real possibility that their escapades will cost them significantly more than the $42,000 they paid for the tickets.
While the stunt has undoubtedly earned the duo a moment in the spotlight, the financial and legal cost may serve as a cautionary tale. As social media retains its significant role in individuals’ pursuit of fame, Gonzalez and Rivera’s extravagant Super Bowl streak is a testament to the lengths some are willing to go for a moment of notoriety.
