Here is my take on the stadium!
The fans were loud/quiet at appropriate times, up until the 4th down attempts in the 4th quarter. I'm not sure why people got lightweight ignorant then. I believe the fanbase could be louder and attempt to at least show more enthusiasm as the years go by. As long as fellow fans educate others or take charge by helping w/ ques. One tip: is point to the large as teleprompter like something amazing happened so they can see the ques for themselves. Also, it's important for the people controlling the teleprompters to be on point and on every down. It will not get better until the Niner org and fans make it become apart of their identity.
The seats were a lot smaller than in Candlestick (at least in my section) I have one of those addball 4seat sections that are directly above the entrances in the 200's. It's awesome not having someone infront and behind you, and it drew a lot of attention and purchase request. I am sort of happy if I had to be in the 200's that it's at least the best seats in the section.
The bathrooms were a lot nicer, which would have to have been expected....And it didn't feel like I walking on piss like I do in O.co (yes huge A's fan) or Candlestick. There were hardly any lines, I handled my business and left easily.
Cool feature that I never really noticed in other stadiums, was when refs were reviewing plays (which way way too many than most fans would have liked) it shows what and how they are looking at the play on the teleprompter. It took me until the second half to realize it haha. Other than that, I don't know what makes this stadium standout as a modern technological advancement... It looks like a half completed H.S. toothpick model. The Wifi didn't even work, I had to connect to Xfinity wifi to check everything.
The beer selection was meh. I guess it was my fault not taking the time to look for the so called area that had the local craft beers, I stuck w/ a shock top by the bar near the main entrance corner. They didn't even have orange peels which was sort of a bummer. Who serves shock top with orange peels am I right?.......The food was pretty good though, of course way overpriced, but I guess that is normal. I had the jalepeno/cheese stuff brats w/ caramalized onions on top. And I jacked some of my brothers curry chick/rice.
The field still seemed to have trouble, I'm not sure what the reports were on that subject, but before the game began I noticed many divots already. My main concern is someone who is tall and lanky who likes to run instead of step up in the pocket getting injured, because of the crappy field that Niners neglected to oversee. I mean why would they? They got their money already hahaha...
The weather was awesome, thankfully there are no real games in July/Aug otherwise I'd probably have third degree burns. It was a nice breezy afternoon that allowed us to BBQ and enjoy the weather.
Overall, the new stadium is a 7/10. Hopefully, they can fix the field, and the fans work together to create a more enthusiastic aura to help create an identity. Other than thugs and wine/cheese crowd.... Which is sort of ironic in itself heh.
Oh ps. biggest gripe, if you're one of the fans who began leaving at the beginning of the 4th quarter, frak off and never come to a game again please.
