sounds like no one knows what the hell they are talking about. we just have to wait until week one to see how loud it really gets.

Roger "I have a gay brother" Goodell wants the SB champ to win the season-opening kickoff game. That's why it's 90% likely we play at Seadderall Sep 4th.

Not saying I like any of these names, but I can imagine someone using one of several nicknames for the field:

"Field of Jeans" (mentioned a bunch already)
"The Zipper"
"Pants Park"

I'm good with just "Levi's" ...

With the new stadium will they get new look uniforms & logo? You know the NFL is all about the $$$$ so I wouldn't be surprised

Doubt it highly.

It was a big deal for them a few years ago to go back to their traditional uniforms. I don't see them changing that anytime soon.

Now...maybe a throwback like the ones they wore in '94 once per year? That might be cool.

Man, I'd love to bust out the '94 throwbacks for a divisional matchup or playoff game at least once sometime soon.

gonna be quiet as library. 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.

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.

I love these articles that say it's nearly complete. At the bottom of the latest article, a small disclaimer about how they need to do all of the electrical, plumbing, all 68k seats, and the concrete walkways outside and inside of the stadium....

At least it should be done by this summer.
