A few months ago, six USA Today sport writers who regularly attend games at the 30 NFL stadiums published a ranking.
Levi’s Stadium finished 20th on the list of 30 NFL venues.
Here’s what USA Today sportswriter Tyler Dragon wrote:
“It’s a little underwhelming given it opened in 2014. It has a Silicon Valley feel with around 9,000 club seats and 174 suites, but there’s not really a bad spot in the place. The stadium is located in Santa Clara, roughly 43 miles from San Francisco – and it’s actually more convenient for out-of-state fans to fly into San Jose rather than San Francisco. However a major perk, for all the journalists or those fortunate enough to be inside the press box, is the top-of-the-line catering.”
Here are the top 5 best NFL stadiums according to USA Today’s ranking. Interestingly, they are all home fields for the 49ers’ NFC rivals:
1. Lumen Field – Seattle Seahawks
2. Lambeau Field – Green Bay Packers
3. U.S. Bank Stadium – Minnesota Vikings
4. SoFi Stadium – Los Angeles Chargers, Los Angeles Rams
5. AT&T Stadium – Dallas Cowboys
Amazing, just had this conversation with some friends and family the other night.
No one had a good experience.
Going forward maybe the best experience might be to stay home and maybe watch the game on TV.
So the next question is where do the 49ers rank in how they are treating their Host City compared with all the other teams?
Sadly, here is one category I think they have a really good chance to win.
Wake up Santa Clara
A Convicted Felon still received 1,000 votes.
Wonder how many of those 1,000 people will travel South on Jan 31st to support their former 49er Council Member.
Orange is the New Black.
