The best we could do was a pair of jeans. Damn. f**k this ownership. Really sux they are associated with the 49ers
On another note. I know its not something anyone would want to happen but i was talking to my dad and we got on the subject of the San Francisco attached to the 49ers. Do you ever thibk it will go away. We honestly have zero ties with the city anymore and on tnf thwy were talking about being in Santa Clara next week

What's the matter with Levi's? It was born in
San Francisco during the Gold Rush and is one of the oldest and iconic brands in the US if not the world.
I get it, more thinking should've gone into some type of sun protection, not wanting to fry played a part in my decision to not become a STH at Levi's as I had for the previous 20+ years at the Stick. It's dumb that they keep rolling out f**ked up grass instead of just going to FieldTurf. And it is a shame they moved from SF, although the idiots who run that s**thole city have WAY more to do with that than the idiots who own the 49ers.
I get all that...but what I don't get is the b***hing about Levi's Stadium not looking like a f**kin spaceship, cool salad bowl or whatever the hell people people expect of it.
Yeah I guess it's not considered some architectural marvel, but who seriously cares? It's a football stadium...it's got a field, nice seats, good sight lines, lots of restrooms and concessions, wide concourses as opposed to the disgusting piss buckets and 3-foot wide walkways Candlestick had...but oh, Levi's didn't make the cover of Architectural Digest? F**kin waaah...that's a first-world problem right there, hand-wringing over how it looks. I admit, looks-wise my standards must be low, it's fine by me and not even close to a pebble in my shoe. But now the product ON the field, that's a different story.

No, they also let fans know in advance if the weather will be hot so they can dress appropriately and put on sunscreen.
I don't know if that makes the fans going there make them feel better though.

I'm not a santa clara weather expert, but I think for the most part the temperatures at Levi Stadium only spike during the Indian summer months (Sept to October) the rest of the year, the weather should be in the ideal temperature category.

Understood. But, it seems the issue with domes in CA is borne out of fear of a large scale earthquake. So, what is it about a football dome that makes the structure inherently weaker than something like Oracle? Is it simply the size that makes such a structure inherently less stable? Is it the amount of fans a dome can house that causes trepidation? I am genuinely curious.
The new Rams stadium, while not a dome, will have a canopy. That's kinda cool: http://www.cnn.com/style/article/new-nfl-stadium-los-angeles/index.html

That tower reflects sun rays and blasts the folk behind the visitor's side.

Lol that's like when your kid comes in last place in some event and you say "that's ok, you're still very special to me".
Levi's is a dump. It has many many flaws (some you and others have pointed out). The thought behind leaving the city of SF was that the fans would get a better product. Clearly that did not happeb.

2nd, Domes really? There are no domes in CA.
3rd, are you not familiar with the brand Levi's and how iconic it is around the world and where it's from ?
4th, There are only a few stadiums that actually play in the city they are supposed to be in
Go to a god damn game and you will see there is no issues from sitting in you seat, to getting food, getting to a bathroom without waiting that long. The only issue is the team on the field.
