Lots of private planes to swoop in for Super Bowl
To avoid commercial flights and airport crowds, celebrities and other high-rolling Super Bowl-goers are expected to arrive in droves, many of them by private plane. Kyle Chank, director of transportation and operations for the Houston Super Bowl Host Committee, said about 1,100 such aircraft will descend upon the area between the Thursday before the Feb. 5 big game and on Sunday itself.

who gives a flying hoot. I'll fly in if Atlanta and Kansas city are in the Super bowl.
All of the celebrities should fly out and into private airports unless the planes are to large. So that other commercial flights aren't delayed. Last year they should've taken those smaller planes to airports like Palo Alto, Moffett, Hayward Etc...
private jets and hookers.
This may or may not apply to HOU, but air traffic may be affected at places you might not expect. About five hours before the Super Bowl, being held in Pasadena, CA that year, I sat in line for an hour at KLAS for takeoff. I was headed the other way, Grand Canyon, not Cali! I'll watch the game on TV, thanks.
My sister was flying out of SFO when the Super Bowl was held there. Her commercial plane was waiting for take-off right after the gamed ended. Limo after limo pulled up to parked private aircraft, then those aircraft immediately got into the que to take off. She was muttering out loud, "get going, get going". By the time she lifted off, there were almost 30 planes of assorted types waiting to take off. Only about 10% were commercial aircraft.
