“one hundred percent [it was an inside job] It wasn’t an emergency, so… [it went off] 25 minutes,” Lisa said.
“Who do you think did it? Should we name names?” Adamson asked, to which Lisa replied: “I don’t know… Their hotel is on major lockdown, so I don’t think a fan broke in. I think it was probably a Kansas City employee.”
“I’m going to get a list of all the hotel employees and put them on my podcast,” Adamson joked at the time.
Lisa said jokingly: Where are the Chiefs staying? Just kidding, I would never… Kudos to them, that’s smart. ”

McCaffrey also had doubts about the situation.
“I don’t think it can be random,” he said Thursday in his final meeting with players and media before Sunday’s game. “That’s part of it. It’s just throwing more wood on the fire.”
Star defensive end Nick Bosa agreed with McCaffrey, but explained that this isn’t the first time something like this has happened before the Super Bowl.
“Someone must have done it,” Botha said. “It reminded me of Philadelphia where there was construction going on outside. It was early in the morning and they were like tearing down the bridge right outside the hotel. We didn’t have much luck. But there are no excuses.”
Lisa’s comments come after she made headlines last week when she talked about the expensive suites at Super Bowl 58 and said the McCaffrey family couldn’t afford a private box.
When Culpo tried to buy a suite, McCaffrey stopped him, stating that he had no intention of having his loved ones pay to watch Culpo play.
The 49ers have been working on a lot as they prepare for the 2024 Super Bowl.
The 49ers weren’t happy with the conditions at UNLV’s practice field this week, explaining that the artificial surface, which has turf on top, is softer than standard, according to ESPN.
