SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Super Bowl pregame show will be headed to Alcatraz Island.

NBC announced Monday that the network will broadcast part of its pregame show before Sunday’s game between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks from the island that used to be a site of a maximum security federal prison.

The island has turned into a popular museum where more than 1 million visitors come each year. This will mark the first time there has ever been a live broadcast from there.

NBC will air multiple segments of its pregame show from Alcatraz with Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy, two-time Super Bowl champion Rodney Harrison and co-host Jac Collinsworth on sight.

Coverage will feature a look at the island’s historic significance as a military base, prison, and seabird conservation site.

ATLANTA (AP) — A brother of NFL player Calais Campbell has been charged with murder after police found their 71-year-old mother dead at her home in Atlanta during a welfare check. His family told police he struggled with mental illness. Arrest warrants say Nateal Campbell’s throat was cut and Ciarre Campbell was found with a knife. Officers found her unresponsive when they arrived at around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to a police statement. Ciarre Campbell, 41, was booked into the Fulton County Jail, where he was being held without bond, and waived his initial court hearing Wednesday on charges including aggravated assault and murder. A lawyer listed for him in online court records did not immediately return an email and voicemail seeking comment on the charges. In a 911 call released by police, an unidentified man can be heard asking for a wellness check. He tells the dispatcher that he is trying to get inside his mother's house with his brother and sister-in-law. He says they can see another brother, who is “mentally ill” and lives with their mom, inside the home. The caller says the brother inside had said their mother left, but a neighbor's camera footage shows she didn't.
