Levi's Stadium
About
Levi's Stadium is a modern, 68,500-seat NFL venue in Silicon Valley, home to the San Francisco 49ers. Known for its tech-forward amenities and open-air design, it can feel corporate but delivers solid sightlines. Expect loud, energetic crowds for World Cup matches.
History
Opened in 2014, Levi's Stadium hosted Super Bowl 50 in 2016 and the College Football Playoff National Championship in 2019. It replaced Candlestick Park as the 49ers' home. The venue was selected as a 2026 FIFA World Cup host site in 2018.
Getting there
Take US-101 or CA-237 to Great America Parkway. On-site lots are expensive and sell out; pre-purchase via ParkWhiz or SeatGeek. Expect severe gridlock post-match — budget 60–90 minutes to exit. Levi's Stadium Parking Garage is closest but priciest.
Uber and Lyft designated drop-off and pick-up is at the Tasman Drive rideshare zone. Surge pricing post-match can triple fares. Pre-scheduling a pickup time helps. Expect long waits — walking to a nearby street improves pickup speed significantly.
Take VTA Light Rail to Great America Station on the Mountain View–Winchester Line — a short 5-minute walk to gates. From San Jose Diridon Station, connect via light rail. Caltrain serves Santa Clara Station, then a 20-minute walk or quick VTA connection.
Where to stay
Most fans stay in Santa Clara, San Jose's Downtown, or Sunnyvale for proximity. San Jose offers livelier nightlife along South First Street. Palo Alto suits those wanting upscale options. Book early — Silicon Valley hotels are expensive and fill fast during major events.
