At least it should be done by this summer.

Well if they're 80% complete, that means 20% still needs to be finished. lol

A potential downside to all that openness -- depending on how much you treasure your hearing - is that Levi's Stadium doesn't seem like it will be a particularly loud stadium. Unlike its counterpart in Seattle, which was built to protect fans from the rain, there are very few overhangs and spaces to trap and reflect sound. Seattle's stadium was designed to shield people from the rain; Santa Clara's was built to welcome in the light.
The other Debbie Downer observation (from someone who lived in that part of Santa Clara for four years) is that there's not much to see. The best feature of that part of the bay is that it is between two mountain ranges. Otherwise, there is a parking lot and an amusement part to the west, an electrical station to the southeast and the 49ers practice facility to the east. If such a translucent stadium had been built on the edge of the San Francisco Bay, for example, there would be a lot more to look at. Of course, the design probably couldn't have been as airy in a spot where the air can be cold and unpleasant.

He writes for a newspaper, and of course this makes him an acoustics expert. OK.
Did you used to take care of elephants? Because you are an expert at shoveling crap around.

Seattle's stadium wasn't that loud in the playoffs because they couldn't pump in the noise like they do normally. Someone must have been watching for it, the dB meter got nowhere near the 137 mark.

The expansion for the super bowl would be temporary from what I read. Seats on the concourse. This is the same area where they would have standing room seating like they do at the cowboys stadium, but won't be considered till they see how things go after year one.
The open areas can be also filled with an additional suites numbering 30-40. Everything will depend on, though they didn't say it, on demand and need, (the waiting list I would imagine, etc.

Damn you dumber than I thought. They clearly don't need to install 68k seats still.
