They rushed this POS stadium. Remember the locker room/sideline debacle?
The Stadium face North and south same as the Stick, same as Oakland
LOL. Bingo again.
This is the freakin' Bay Area people.
Um...home locker room was built on the sunny/visitor side. And that's the side the home sideline was originally set for. But Harbawz was sensitive to the sun just like 90% of us and said eff that -- we're moving the home sideline to the shade and we'll just cross the field at half time to get to our "home" locker room. We can slap hands with the visiting team as they walking over to the visitor's locker room.
um...what's your point?
That's not exactly earthshattering news.
NFL team will choose ANY advantage they can. OF COURSE you want your back to the sun and your team in the shade.
That doesn't mean its unbearably hot. It means your coach has a clue and will take any advantage he can get.
They made a mistake in the design -- they should have originally placed the home field locker room on the shady side.
Going back to my original post of which you questioned...They rushed this POS stadium. Remember the locker room/sideline debacle?
Right...only took 2 decades to get the thing done.
"rushed".
Get that BS outta here.
It was hot in the building in the hottest summer in years. Shocker.
Its warmer than at Candlestick that is known as one of the coldest areas of the Bay Area for most of the year. Shocker.
Home Locker room was build where it is because that side is closer to the 49ers HQ. The idea was to put them on that same sideline. Not a big deal to move it as we see because that's exactly what they did.
Ya may not have noticed, but we are in the middle of a big drought so not really a big surprise that its really hot in August and September.
This was a very expensive stadium. A TON of time was put into the design. A TON of time was put into the planning.
However, no amount of time or planning can account for the hottest summer in a decade or the fact that it's naturally warmer in SC than Hunters Point.
Dude -- why so like that? So serious -- details are always missed -- especially when you 'rush'. They built the home locker room on the wrong side of the field -- it took Harbaugh to figure that out for them.
Man -- were you the construction PM or something ? :P
Home locker room is NOT on the wrong side of the field. Its on the side that is CLOSER to the practice fields and serves as the Locker room YEAR ROUND, not just on gameday.
Its really quite simple. Harbaugh simply asked for the shaded home sideline. That's it. Really not complicated.
