Leaving the stick on a rainy day was horrible too. Slogging through the water and mud to get to your car, then stuck in traffic leaving the stadium for 2+ hours. The only thing that made it worth while was churning about the win and the game. If the current team played at the stick the complaints would be through the roof. They do need to fix the solar flare issue at Levi's....I'm sure the organization will find a way to get a sponsor to advertise on their shade sales. But at least at Levi's when the team is looking bad there's something for fans to do to get their money's worth.

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.

Dump...that's f**king ridiculous. The concrete bowl of mud, piss, narrow concourses, and 2-hour traffic jams on Candlestick Point, now THAT was truly a dump. As I pointed out, Levi's has shortcomings such as the grass and sun, but for the most part, this ain't baseball where people will wander around while the game is going on (well guess they do at Levi's to find shade, but that's besides the point) and the park/field itself is part of the game, it's a f**kin football stadium, but do keep crying because it's not pretty enough for you.

As for leaving SF, the morons who run that freak show didn't learn a damn thing from when they almost lost the Giants to St. Petersburg until Magowan's group stepped in at the 11th hour...they strung the 49ers along for years with their nose in the air thinking the Niners would never have the gall to leave their precious dump. Do I wish they would've stayed in SF? Of course, but it didn't happen and at least they're still local.

Okay, now back to sand-filled vag whining that Levi's just doesn't have that whimsical aesthetic flair so utterly vital for football.

Personally, I hate the new look of Miami's stadium. It's fugly, if practical.

Have you seen Levi's?

Yes. In person as well as I went to the New Years game last season. Had a great time, and was a great view of the game.

2nd, Domes really? There are no domes in CA.

Just a question really, but what is the difference between a dome and Staples Center, or Oracle Arena? Wouldn't those facilities easily house a football team or is there an engineering / environmental aspect that prohibits such?

There is going to be a dome like cover in LA...

The stadium isnt in San Francisco because the best San Francisco could come up with was a site on a toxic waste dump with zero infrastructure connecting it to anything. I wish the team was still in SF too but the city dropped the damn ball. Team had to do something.

Lol we are the only Pro sport that couldn't make it work...as that s**tty stadium sits in Santa Clara of all places the Warriors are building their new Stadium in town and the Giants are enjoying theirs in SoMa.

Anyone could have gotten a stadium in Santa Clara.... even Jed

If the team was good, fans will travel a 100 miles.

On the flip side...you get the picture.

Sad.

That is pa

They don't build domes in California because CA has the best weather in the United States

The best weather in the United States? Perhaps some areas, but that is patently false as an absolute. For instance, I live in Avila Beach, over on the central coast. I, no doubt, believe in places like that, or even down in SB, the weather is the best. But, I have friends and family in LA, Bakersfield, Fresno, and up at Shaver Lake. I can assure you, the weather in some of these areas is not "the best" for many, many months out of the year. Though, if one wishes to narrow it down to only football months, the impact is less so. But, using a stadium in CA, no less LA or SF, for only football, is financially retarded.

No one brings up the politics that was involved in the stadium. In SF there's so many groups coming out either against the project or with their hands out wanting payola. Those groups come out of the woodwork claiming to be for the environment, but they're extortionists. On the other hand Santa Clara had an expedited process to lure the team, they already had land next to their practice facility to make available, and their City Council was all on board to bring the team in. Jed just had to deal with the immediate local neighbors to the stadium while in SF every available group with a claim was coming out.

In the end Jed had the choice of an immediate approval and getting bundles of cash in their pockets for stadium rental vs years of pain and probably nothing in SF.

They still need to fix the sun issue and I'm surprised it was never considered during design.

Like I said, fans show out better on the road.

Because a football stadium is analogous to a basketball arena and a baseball stadium.

SF offer was a toxic waste dump.

Yes, CA has the best weather in the US. If you consider being a little hot in those places as bad weather than I've made my point
