Levi's Stadium pics and info...

It gets pretty hot under the constant sun. I regret not getting seats on the home side.

For me it wasn't that bad, but I'll definitely be sunscreening up for sunny games. The back of my neck is probably 3 shades darker than the front. lol

I'm in the 300 level. The bud light patio is right behind me. The sun was beating on the back of my neck the whole game. As far as getting a beer and the time it takes, I'm not sure as I didn't get one today. The bar looked about 2-4 deep at times and they also had a couple of beer kiosks up there too. Here's some pics I got of the bud light patio scene:

The bar




Beers on tap




Beers on ice and booze




Here's the plaza area, complete with some standing tables and bar stools in the SRO areas





And a little eye candy repping bud light. They were giving out schwag for playing tailgate toss

Nice pics. I'll be wearing a hat but may think about brimming a small towel so that my neck doesn't get toasted. But then again, I'm used to 100 degree heat in the valley...but if I can get one of those damp towels...why not.

BTW, terrible posture by that bud light girl.

So what was the reason behind the non-symmetrical design? I'm sure the Niners would have no problem selling the extra tickets, seems like a lot of potential seats lost.

It's got swag.

Anybody can build a cookie cutter stadium that one could design on madden. What was the reason they put those odd shaped seat structures in your stadium's endzones?

It was due to a hear attack, not the heat.

yeah that would be heat stroke

Pre-existing heart conditions (which it appears the victim had if he suffered an MI,) exacerbate the risk for heat exhaustion/stroke, which can occur with temperatures as low as 70-80 degree range (combined with enough humidity in addition to exertion, which for anyone over 50 can be just simply walking around).

This. Just like the other designs and architecture of the stadium, it gives Levi's a persona and character that will have big shoes to fill from The Stick predecessor. Plus, Jed has other ways of generating of revenue.

But yeah, next year maybe the team should NOT schedule 1pm starts for the preseason home games (they used to always IIRC, be late afternoon/early evening games in August unless nationally televised), especially since the South Bay isn't like Bayview/HP microclimate-wise.

You understand the term "Heat stroke" has nothing at all to do with your cardiovascular system, correct? Heat stroke is a form of hypothermia, where your body temperature raises over 105 degrees, causing dehydration and in severe cases, can cause shock. This person had cardiac arrest, which has nothing at all to do with heat stroke, which is why the.

pretty sure heat stroke and heart attack are two different things bro

Did I ever say they were the same in my original post? I merely postulated the likely trigger for death was the heat (the AP article which broke this story specified this in turn led to a heart attack). if u go back, it was you and THEB who brought up the red-flag terms of heart attack & heat stroke I subsequently merely stated the likelihood a compromised CV system increases the chance for heat stress, but I'll concede in my rush for rebuttal I incorrectly used the umbrella term of heat exhaustion/stroke (I'm sure we can all admit, introducing the term "heat stroke", with its finite requirements yet easy to misconstrue connotations, was unwise to bring into the debate) a predisposed person would likely die from a heart attack first before even hitting the body temperature needed to cause a heat stroke

Even though the medical conditions are distinct from each other, among risk groups (especially the elderly) heat stress and cardiovascular disturbance are acutely interrelated.

prior history/high risk of cardiovascular disease + heat & humidity (even relatively bearable temps for younger/healthier people) = increased susceptibility to heat exhaustion/stroke due to body's inability to handle increased strain to CV system (pumping enough blood to alleviate heat as well as the heart pumping faster/harder trying to compensate for lower blood pressure due to dilated vessels caused by the body trying to regulate its heat) thus eventually leading to rapid breakdown of the cooling mechanism not to mention disturbance of the sodium/potassium pump

Likewise, experiencing heat stress leads in itself to extra exertion of the heart, so that the risk for a heart attack greatly increases (especially as stated, if there are already preexisting risk factors/history) why do you think there are spikes in elderly deaths during heat waves? They are simply more vulnerable. also those taking anticoagulants and beta-blockers (i.e. the same demographic with the risk for heart ailments) succumb more readily to heat-related injuries due to impaired ability to thermoregulate high core heat to the skin/extremities.

Also, to THEB: it's HYPERthermia
