SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- It's Super Bowl Sunday and almost all of the parties and concerts are over. All that's left is a massive cleanup and a chance to enjoy some football.

Super Bowl City will be open again Sunday but is expected to draw a much smaller crowd than Saturday.

The months of preparation and days of set up and lead up concerts all culminated Saturday night with a performance by Alicia Keys on City Stage.

However, only the supremely dedicated made it inside Super Bowl City to see the show.

Some fans lined up 10 hours early to see her sing.

Police shut down access to Super Bowl City and then had to close the northbound lanes of the Embarcadero as thousands of fans lined the streets.

The crowd was mainly behaved, but police say multiple children got separated from their families in the chaos.

Fortunately, all were reunited.

Still, it was disappointing for fans who arrived almost five hours before Alicia Keys' first song and still got turned away.

"We got here about 4:30, 5 o'clock and it was chaotic. There was no room to walk. We went straight to the line and we were turned down," fan Morgan Najera said.

People in the audience outside Super Bowl City say the sound was a little muffled but they're still glad they got to experience the show.

Super Bowl City reopens Sunday at 11 a.m. It will close down for good before kickoff.

There's one last concert to check out after the Super Bowl Sunday night. Rapper T.I. will take the stage at 1015 Folsom.

Doors open at 9 p.m.
