He even said that Levi's doesn't have any spaces that traps noise even when there's an enormous glass tower of suites and press boxes dominating the entire west side of the field that numerous stadium officials have stated that it was designed in part to contain noise and reflect it back onto the field. Acoustics expert he is not.

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.
Barrows wrote a similar piece a few months ago and like this one, I felt it lacked insight and source. Maiocco's article (which pertains to a similar subject, Levi's acoustics, noise factor) is much more factual, insightful, and includes more substance.
Yeah wtf Barrows saying it's going to be quiet, whereas everyone else is saying it's going to be loud as hell?

yeah, and the whole bayfront "scenery" angle is dumb....this is FOOTBALL not goddamn baseball!!! your attention is gonna be riveted 90% of the time to the action on the field, unlike the more pastoral baseball where you have leisure to take in the ambience of the surroundings as part of the experience

Hahaha, hard to believe they overlooked this consideration when designing the stadium:
The stadium was originally designed to house the 49ers' sideline on the east side, where the home locker room is along with the East Field Club. But the east sideline will be in the sun for much, if not all afternoon games. Jim Harbaugh reportedly requested the team be moved to the west sideline (in the shade) well after the design was already in place.
That means the 49ers' entrance to the field will be directly behind the visiting sideline which is both inconvenient and awkward. Officials indicated the starters introductions would likely come from the south field entrance, which would negate club patrons the ability to see the starters take the field for the last time before kick off. And at halftime, teams will have to cross paths in order to get to their locker room entrances on the opposite sidelines.

I think its all about distance to the field... I dont buy Clink's stadium design. I understand domes being loud, but when it comes to outdoor venues I think its all about how far the fan base is from the field and Candlestick is probably the worst
