I've been a subscriber for a bit but I feel like you didn't do much research about this. They already announced, in 2023, a $125 million renovation to enhance fan experience before 2026 Super Bowl and 2026 World Cup. They're finishing renovating half of the suites this year, the other half in 2025 and then getting a new video board
Exactly, it's been known for months now Super Bowl 60 will be played there, plus renovations to suites and scoreboards. This guy is not thorough at all, WTF. If you're going to do the video, get your facts right!
Can you tell me when they did the survey for the potential canopy? I'm a 49ers season ticket holder in that hot area of the stadium so I'm DESPERATE for info haha. Would love a canopy.
The whole roof and can't do it because of the airport.. That sounds ridiculous to me. It's not like the planes fly 20 feet over the stadium. They're hundreds of feet above, adding a roof wouldn't make a difference. So weird.
I agree. Never made sense to me either. I live in the area and planes don’t go anywhere close to the stadium height. Crazy strict FAA rules really screwing the stadium over.
@@scotttildcould also have built into the ground to get more height from the stadium. From what I understand. LA stadium has like an elevator to go down to the lower seating.
@@creolerican NIMBYs are a big problem in biggest California cities. The hood is the only place where politician$ can just ignore their constituents and grant building licenses. Just like Sofi Stadium.
Supposedly, the design of Levi's Stadium was meant for the cool climate of Candlestick Point. But Santa Clara is much warmer, so it's unbearable during day games, and they can't build a roof because of the airport.
The eastern side gets baked in the sun, and the way the place is designed, there isn't much air flow to help things cool off. Any kind of shade would help. Night and fall games aren't bad, but it still doesn't have the huge video boards and other things that new stadiums are getting.
I was born and raised in NorCal, but spent 9 years in Alabama and I’m a long time Bama fan. I was at that Clemson Alabama championship game in 2019 and although the place was sold out, I was incredibly unimpressed with Levi’s, especially after having been to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Levi’s looked like a glorified 90’s stadium and I remember walking around in there and thinking what did the billion dollars get spent on? It’s perfectly functional but very plain. Sort of reminds me of the White Sox stadium, built just before the retro ballpark boom of the 90s. This one’s kind of the same way, built just before all the futuristic looking NFL stadiums.
I’m a lifelong Niner fan and when I saw the renderings of this stadium I laughed and thought okay this is going to change before they break ground. Nope. 😂 they took the exact same design they had planned for San Francisco and put it smack dab in the flight path of San Jose International Airport. Us Niner fans were excited because we thought we’d be getting a crown jewel that would rival Lumen Field. The team product being good on the field the last 5 years has taken the focus away from how absolutely crappy of a stadium this place is. The stadium is a major cash cow for the York family so they aren’t likely to leave it any time soon. The sun has become somewhat of a non issue as the team has adjusted to play mostly road games and/or prime time games in Sept/early October so the heat from the sun is much less of an issue that it used to be.
@@TheMrPeteChannel Tell that to the pro stadiums in Tampa, Miami and other countless college football venues that host games in September. People will still attend them no matter what the elements are.
I've heard that the sun can be an issue at certain times of the year. But there's no reason to have a domed football stadium in the Bay Area. This isn't the Northern Midwest lol.
@@scotttild If you live in SF it's as easy as Caltrain to MV, light rail to Levi's. About as easy as it gets. I live in SC. Went to a number of games when the tix were cheap. Drove over to a spot I know, nobody there, walked a pleasant 20 min walk down the river to the park. Done. Out the same. Try driving to Candlestick. You could be in that parking lot for hours after the game. And it was a crappy stadium. Say what you want about Levi's, the sightlines are WAY better than Candlestick ever was. And how hot does it get in SC, even in Sep ? Long sleeve shirt and a hat fixed that. So it ain't 'pretty'. SC ain't SF.
Not to mention the WORST parking situation ever. The parking lot is at least a quarter mile away from the stadium, and the best part, it costs $50 just to park your car....
Moving to Santa Clara was an audacious move, to put it lightly. It has been a complete failure logistically. Fans absolutely hate the inconvenience of Levi’s and would not be selling it out if the Niners were not in the midst of a Golden Era. Because the team is so good, it is a cash cow right now. The city of Santa Clara had kicked the 49ers out of their own stadium during the Covid year and forced them to play multiple “home games” in Arizona. The city of Santa Clara is currently also in a legal battle trying to obtain $20 million from the 49ers to go into the city’s general fund as they are claiming the Niners have not given them enough money for public safety costs. Santa Clara is inconvenient, bad hosts, and the logistics of the stadium were glossed over making the fan experience pretty pathetic. Biggest waste of $1.3 billion that has ever occurred in sports. Hopefully the York family does nothing to renovate the stadium and moves back to San Francisco around the mid-2040s to early 2050s. If Levi’s can’t hold major events down the road, so be it.
Went there last year to see my Bengals. Loved the stadium, niners fans were nice, good vibe. But it was kind of nothing around the stadium, I thought I was going to hit up a sports bar or something before the game but nothing. Also, the sun was beaming at least where I was sitting...I got much blacker after that game lol. I enjoyed the experience though especially since the Bengals dominated them!
Levi Stadium is a cool stadium my one knock is that is in Santa Clara I was sure that the 49ers would built thier Stadium in Downtown San Francisco close to Oracle Park
The weather does get tolerable but if it's rains there, oh man, it's a mess. I remember going to the SNF game back in 2021 (49ers vs. Colts) and it was pouring non-stop. Of course, no coverings whatsoever except in the areas that lead out of the bowl. It was a straight up mess tho.
Re: Exterior. Levi's Stadium was built to be eco-friendly. The bare bones exterior was due to that reason. Overall, the stadium will age poorly. It needs a roof by the proximity to airport will make this impossible. 49ers fans apperently don't like it. They traded freezing at Candlestick to roasting in the valley sun at Levi's. With land so limited and expensive either, San Fran is going to stuck with that lemon for 40-50 years at least.
The Bay Area in general really isn't a college sports hub. Two academic schools in Stanford and Cal play there. I used to watch Pac 12 football championships played there and yea... you could see on TV this area had a hard time filling the upper deck for those. Don't think 49ers games are an issue though. Went here once. For night games, it's one of the better stadiums in the NFL. During the day I've heard sun glare is a big issue. This stadium hasn't aged as well as other new ones imo but it still got awarded a second Super Bowl. Any renovations are likely going to have to wait until the stuff with California's Great America settles. Think that amusement park is likely getting knocked down in the next five years for apartments. Since they share a parking lot that might create construction issues for a renovation down the line
Yeah, I'm born in the Bay Area and we're not a huge college area, even though Stanford was making it to the Rose Bowl often in the 2010s. We're more of a pro sports town, even selling out a lot of NHL games when we were good
I'm a Niners fan. Been to Levi's 5 times. I was actually at the first game ever played there back in 2014. It's come a long way since then. The field was a disaster for about two years. Overall I think it's fine and clean, but like pretty much every one of them now, it's pretty expensive. The issue of the sun though is bothersome, I'm not sure why it was designed to where half of the fans get blinded depending on where they sit at what time of day. Otherwise I'd say it's rank it right in the middle of all NFL stadiums currently.
Great place to watch a game, visitors side gets baked in the sun in September which is by design. Its only 10 years old a renovation would be a was it of money.
Depending on how Buffalo goes, you can see two types of football stadiums. Futuristic looking ones with roofs/retractable roofs, and ones with giant canopy roofs similar to European stadiums.
@@scotttildSan Francisco has said that housing is going up there since the Niners left in 2014. It's been ten years, and after THIS LONG... that housing is NEVER being built.
@@UnitardZZack SF wants 'affordable' housing built there, only no contractors want to build it because they can't make a profit on the expected price point. This is why govt should keep its nose out of the private sector.
Rebuild on the Candlestick site. Leave it to be used by the City of Santa Clara, maybe for a few SJ Earthquakes games or something. Or demolish the stadium all together and use the site as parking for the amusment park next door.
The design isn't that bad. But the design was meant for replacing Candlestick Park at Candlestick point. The design wasn't modified for a warmer type climate, such as Santa Clara.
Who wants to deal with the possibility of weather inconveniences? This isn’t the early 1900’s. Also, in certain humid states such as Florida, Arizona, Texas etc it makes sense to have a roof especially in the summer.
It's not just the early season games that are bad. I was there for a game on Jan 1st a couple of years ago, and the sun beating down was brutal. Felt like being an ant under a magnifying glass. People had to go into concession areas to escape.
Whoever green lit it having to do with its logistics should be banned from ever constructing large scale sites again. It’s almost like a undergrad who is pursuing a degree in Engineering/ Architecture/ Design but has no real experience doing it was the one who green lit it. Maybe it was the York family who pressured them to get it up how the original renderings were. No matter how it transpired, it is the biggest failure I’ve ever seen logistically on a 1 billion+ project.

@@sirchi8731bull they don’t bring any significant jobs total phony argument all they bring is short term construction jobs and low paying min wage jobs for 8 games a year. So no they don’t bring jobs.
@sirchi8731 There is no evidence for your contention. Football stadiums are the worst. Very few events and huge costs. There is no way the government of New York state will ever recover the billions it is costing their taxpayers to build the new Buffalo Bills Stadium
in my opinion, the owners will only act once it starts hurting them financially. In a way, it's actually to their benefit not to fix that shade issue. Fans that are seated at the eastern part of the stadium who are being roasted alive are gonna end up spending majority of the game at the concessions area under shade and will buy overpriced food and drinks. If the whole fan base, or at least 70% of the fan base can get together and agree to boycott home games for 1 whole season including playoffs or until the issue is fixed.. That'll surely get their attention and get to work immediately on fixing that sun shade issue or at least get the ball rolling.
One would think that after the disasters with the original Candlestick Park and Mount Davis, the architects of Bay Area stadiums would have learned certain lessons about things like wind, sun, etc.. Obviously, where Levi’s Stadium is concerned, they didn’t.
It would be super funny if the 49ers moved to Las Vegas and shared Aliegent Stadium with the Raiders. Las Vegas would have 2 NFL teams like Los Angeles has 2 NFL teams in the Rams and Chargers.
Greedy, sleezy DeBartolo family refused to cut a deal with Willie Brown and SF to employ Hunters Point residence resulted in this awful stadium. Just an uninteresting, cheap, non fan oriented albatross.
@@jesusm2159 I don't think so. To be honest I think 49ers if they don't get public funding for future upgrades could end up pulling a Raiders....then we can see 49ers fans hostage then
Levi’s a trash of a stadium, and it’s built in the worst possible place for a NFL stadium. The 49ers should have built the stadium in San Francisco where Candlestick was, all the Niners had todo was play at a local college stadium for the duration of the construction, but no Jed Dork had to think like a numb nut, and built the stadium an hour away in Santa Clara, it’s 2024 and I’m still not happy with the decision, I hope someday the Niners will go back to SF, where they belong.
Dude you don’t give this stadium and its location enough credit. It must mean something that the NFL played Super Bowl 50 and will play Super Bowl 60 there.
Yes, that be a good idea. It canopy yeah like you said like you said they have some they could just cover it in the sun. I see it on UA-cam my video here. It looks good yeah that’s cool. We is a 49er fan. I live in Chicago I never been to Santa Clara is a dark 49er fan. It looks more better. You don’t like a roofcanopy the middle part for the rain I hope so. They do that they should’ve done that.
The smart move would be to build an underground tunnel and connect it to the airport, but CA isn't interested in common sense and practicality. Hence why so many people are moving out!
If you're talking about San Jose Airport, there are already 3 freeways and a metro line connecting there. Also California's problem is an expensive housing market, not a lack of underground tunnels that would only make traffic and congestion worse
That stadium needs a lot of improvements, like their infrastructure and upper management. Upper management lacks empathy and assumes the worst. I've worked there for several years until last year. That stadium is unorganized. Levi's stadium is going through some lawsuits currently. Levi stadium should re-evaluate their pay scale. The levis stadium pays their employees 70 cents more than minimum wage. The owners of that stadium are cheap. The slogan faithful to the bay is a lie. That stadium is built for their stakeholders with a bunch of money.
These football only stadiums are a colossal waste of money. These stadiums are used only 10 times per year for football and may host 2 to 3 concerts per year. 99% of the year, these stadiums are just not used. The owners of these stadiums still have huge operating costs to cover even when the stadiums are not used.
Levi's Stadium hosted Taylor Swift, Beyonce and Ed Sheeran in 2023 alone. All world famous artists whose concerts brought millions of dollars to Santa Clara
F to the 49ers for raising tix prices 100% YoY in some section, forcing seat license holders to sell their seats because of the price increases. Greedy asses forcing true fans to leave for the uber rich. Lifelong fan who will no longer support or care for the team. F the Niners and the Yorks. No warning was given on the price increase. In my section, it went from 2.5k per seat to 5k a year for tickets to the season.

@@sirchi8731bull they don’t bring any significant jobs total phony argument all they bring is short term construction jobs and low paying min wage jobs for 8 games a year. So no they don’t bring jobs.
@sirchi8731 There is no evidence for your contention. Football stadiums are the worst. Very few events and huge costs. There is no way the government of New York state will ever recover the billions it is costing their taxpayers to build the new Buffalo Bills Stadium
Sept and Oct gets really hot to watch games there
in my opinion, the owners will only act once it starts hurting them financially. In a way, it's actually to their benefit not to fix that shade issue. Fans that are seated at the eastern part of the stadium who are being roasted alive are gonna end up spending majority of the game at the concessions area under shade and will buy overpriced food and drinks. If the whole fan base, or at least 70% of the fan base can get together and agree to boycott home games for 1 whole season including playoffs or until the issue is fixed.. That'll surely get their attention and get to work immediately on fixing that sun shade issue or at least get the ball rolling.
How many years till a MetLife renovation?
Giants made a huge mistake letting the Jets share the stadium and change the design they already had for the new Giants stadium
You mean Methlife?
@@barbaracaroll I live in the tri state and have been going to that dump since the opening season, hell hole stadium
Remember this, folks. There is only ONE (not three) NFL football team from New York. The Buffalo Bills 🦬. 👌
East Rutherford is closer to Manhattan than the bills are up there in New York state
One would think that after the disasters with the original Candlestick Park and Mount Davis, the architects of Bay Area stadiums would have learned certain lessons about things like wind, sun, etc..
Obviously, where Levi’s Stadium is concerned, they didn’t.
It would be super funny if the 49ers moved to Las Vegas and shared Aliegent Stadium with the Raiders. Las Vegas would have 2 NFL teams like Los Angeles has 2 NFL teams in the Rams and Chargers.
They can’t put a glass roof like Sofi???
Imagine going to a game during a heatwave.
Surprised they didn't build Matchstick Park - Part 2.
I actually like Levi's Stadium. One of the last best outdoor stadiums built.
Greedy, sleezy DeBartolo family refused to cut a deal with Willie Brown and SF to employ Hunters Point residence resulted in this awful stadium. Just an uninteresting, cheap, non fan oriented albatross.
6:13 the sun excuse is just a publicity stunt, not hot
It's hit or miss. When it's ⛅️ cloudy no issued with sun and heat problem is weather doesn't cool down till November
@sirchi8731 I had no problem there no issues with sun nor weather, exaggeration by niners fans
@@jesusm2159 no it's real. To be honest. Now that the Warriors amd Giants are back in S F proper. So should the 49ers
@@sirchi8731 niners will be at levi for next at least 50 yrs
@@jesusm2159 I don't think so. To be honest I think 49ers if they don't get public funding for future upgrades could end up pulling a Raiders....then we can see 49ers fans hostage then

Depressed Ginger's favorite words: Translucent Roof
Should’ve been built in San Francisco smfdh
Levi’s a trash of a stadium, and it’s built in the worst possible place for a NFL stadium. The 49ers should have built the stadium in San Francisco where Candlestick was, all the Niners had todo was play at a local college stadium for the duration of the construction, but no Jed Dork had to think like a numb nut, and built the stadium an hour away in Santa Clara, it’s 2024 and I’m still not happy with the decision, I hope someday the Niners will go back to SF, where they belong.
It's an eyesore. Too asymmetrical for me. Very odd design makes the upper half rows of seats on the third deck way too far away from the field.
Not even that old and already outdated
Bad football design
The City of SF should have helped renovate Candlestick Park. Horrible liberal SF govt. screwed up the entire situation.
Move them back to candlestick
I like the stadium, just wish it had a damn roof, I'm tired of being cooked alive in the sun
Hmm.. they announced offseason stadium renovations right after the Superbowl. And they finished last month. $200M.
It does need to host another Wrestlemania!
Dude you don’t give this stadium and its location enough credit. It must mean something that the NFL played Super Bowl 50 and will play Super Bowl 60 there.
Sofi is to the right of the flight paths of HellAX. Levi’s is right smack directly underneath the flight path from SJC.
Yes, that be a good idea. It canopy yeah like you said like you said they have some they could just cover it in the sun. I see it on UA-cam my video here. It looks good yeah that’s cool. We is a 49er fan. I live in Chicago I never been to Santa Clara is a dark 49er fan. It looks more better. You don’t like a roofcanopy the middle part for the rain I hope so. They do that they should’ve done that.
They never should have left candlestick point
It’s was built like a stadium built in the late 90s early 00s browns ravens stealers patriots eagles
They all ready hosted a WrestleMania 31.
This stadium looks like a perpetual construction zone.
Here is a better idea. Move back to San Francisco.
Move to Sacramento
@@Whisper-1-y6z NO.
SF politicians won't give away public money--one reason the 49ers moved
@@Whisper-1-y6ztell that to the chargers
@@Whisper-1-y6zSan Francisco is my first choice, but if it can’t be there, then Sacramento would be my second choice.
The smart move would be to build an underground tunnel and connect it to the airport, but CA isn't interested in common sense and practicality. Hence why so many people are moving out!
Earthquakes make that expensive
If you're talking about San Jose Airport, there are already 3 freeways and a metro line connecting there. Also California's problem is an expensive housing market, not a lack of underground tunnels that would only make traffic and congestion worse
Someone gave the designers an Erector Set and Tinker Toys. Here, build something.
That stadium needs a lot of improvements, like their infrastructure and upper management. Upper management lacks empathy and assumes the worst. I've worked there for several years until last year. That stadium is unorganized. Levi's stadium is going through some lawsuits currently. Levi stadium should re-evaluate their pay scale. The levis stadium pays their employees 70 cents more than minimum wage. The owners of that stadium are cheap. The slogan faithful to the bay is a lie. That stadium is built for their stakeholders with a bunch of money.
These football only stadiums are a colossal waste of money. These stadiums are used only 10 times per year for football and may host 2 to 3 concerts per year. 99% of the year, these stadiums are just not used. The owners of these stadiums still have huge operating costs to cover even when the stadiums are not used.
Levi's Stadium hosted Taylor Swift, Beyonce and Ed Sheeran in 2023 alone. All world famous artists whose concerts brought millions of dollars to Santa Clara
Weirdest stadium I’ve ever been to.
F to the 49ers for raising tix prices 100% YoY in some section, forcing seat license holders to sell their seats because of the price increases. Greedy asses forcing true fans to leave for the uber rich. Lifelong fan who will no longer support or care for the team. F the Niners and the Yorks. No warning was given on the price increase. In my section, it went from 2.5k per seat to 5k a year for tickets to the season.
Why would you build a roofed stadium in the Bay Area,
Oh my God, the sun?! Boo hoo, people complain about everything these days.
The Stadium is only 10 years old.
Everyone says Levi’s stadium is bad:
FedEx Field: Hold my beer.
That part 😂
It is no longer called Federal Express (FedEx) Corporation Field. Just Commanders Field. 🤦♂️
@@TheRoadTripChannel Most people associate that stadium as FedEx Field before corporate decided to pull out back in 2020. Different owner back then as well.
@@TheRoadTripChanneland I really doubt that some other corporation will pick naming rights. It will close as Commanders Field.
Y’all can thank good ol’ Jed York for this uninspiring stadium and location.
They should of built more restrooms
How tf cost this ugly Stadium 1.8 billion?!
They are NOT putting a roof on Levi stadium....lol
