Nearly two weeks removed from the most secure Super Bowl of all-time, famous YouTuber Airrick revealed how he, along with two friends, came up with a plan to successfully sneak into the NFL’s championship game.
Airrick, who has nearly 16million subscribers on YouTube, went to New Orleans with cameraman Jack Zeile the Friday before the game to devise a plan.
Any plan would be ambitious, as President Donald Trump, Taylor Swift, and hundreds of other celebrities attended the Super Bowl.
Their original of finding a soft spot in the security detail plan took a serious detour after Airrick, whose real name is Eric Decker, with no relation to the former NFL wide receiver of the same name, was arrested for walking onto private property.
Six hours after being booked into a New Orleans jail, Airrick was released and devised a plan to create a ‘human trojan horse’ where two people would fit under one costume on a motorized scooter to get into the game.
Airrick himself did not want to risk going into the game, as he was already jailed in the city. He convinced Zeile and comedian friend Fudge, to be the two men to get into the game.

In an oversized Kansas City Chiefs hoodie and sweat pants, Fudge and Zeile got through the first two layers of security before the motorized scooter died as they approached the third.
Out of contact with Airrick, Zeile and Fudge ripped off their costume and deserted the scooter and were not taken away by security.
Scenes of the duo enjoying the game and getting back to their hotel room of their own accord were shown at the end of the video.
Airrick has previously tried to sneak into two separate Super Bowls, with him considering this year’s championship game the toughest due to how secure New Orleans was for Trump’s arrival.
The NFL has not commented on the video and no legal ramifications are expected from Airrick admitting to trying to sneak into the game.
Security for this year’s Super Bowl had been ramped up with the expected arrivals of the President and Swift, the popstar girlfriend of Chiefs star Travis Kelce.
Photos taken by DailyMail.com reporters hours before the game showed snipers on the roofs of nearby buildings watching over crowds as people file into the Superdome.
In particular, the snipers were seen on top of an Entergy building located on Poydras Street directly across from the stadium.

Security perimeter started a few hundred yards away from the stadium and that Secret Service personnel were operating the security scanners to get into the building.
Additionally, bomb-sniffing dogs were scouring the area as part of a wider effort that has been documented on social media by the Department of Homeland Security in the run-up to the Big Game.
A tweet from Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem ahead of the NFL showdown had shown pictures of her inspecting the Superdome with local officials.
‘DHS has protected the NFL Super Bowl for 20+ years,’ the tweet from Noem read. ‘We’re working around the clock to ensure a safe and secure game day at the Superdome and in the city of New Orleans.’
These efforts came just over a month after the city was rocked by a terrorist attack that resulted in the deaths of 14 people and 57 injuries.

That attack took place on Bourbon Street in the early morning hours of New Year’s Day and was carried out by an Islamic extremist Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar.
An ISIS flag was found on the back of the truck that he used to plow into the crowd of people that were in the streets celebrating the new year.
As a result of the attack, that day’s Sugar Bowl – a College Football Playoff game – was postponed by one day in order to do further security checks.
Now, after that attack, and with the arrival of the President, further measures were taken to ensure security.
In addition to the snipers and police dogs, drones and other armed guards are parts of the security package. There was also a giant X-ray machine at the Superdome for vehicles to drive through in order to be scanned for explosives.
