Levi\u2019s Stadium<\/a>, capacity 68,500, opened in 2014. The renovation project features new video boards over 70% larger than the previous boards. Other upgrades include new LED field lights, new Wi-Fi and cellular networks, over 120 renovated luxury suites and club spaces and a renovated team store.<\/p>\n\u201cWe\u2019re all very proud and super grateful to have this opportunity,\u201d in 2026, Rogers said. \u201cWhen you talk to anybody who works in sports and you ask them what their bucket list events are, you\u2019d be hard pressed to find anybody who doesn\u2019t put a Super Bowl or World Cup among their top five. We know it\u2019s a huge undertaking and a huge responsibility to deliver for the fans of these sports, and we are excited and proud of the chance to deliver it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Construction began last December with preparation starting the day after the 49ers regular season ended. Work was completed in July but planning for renovations began nearly two years ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have very consistent ongoing dialogue with everybody in the stadium, whether season ticket holders or suite holders or partners,\u201d Rogers said. One example is that fans wanted more core football statistics on the video boards to see easily, so the 49ers worked to develop a video board layout that will ensure a spot with only football-specific content the whole game.<\/p>\n
There are also plenty of small but noticeable touches intentional throughout the venue including the production control room, which has 49 monitors and was of big interest from season-ticket holders who had never seen the area before, Rogers said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the things that I\u2019m really proud of for the team is that all the tech in the room is not out of date, it\u2019s going to grow and evolve,\u201d said Rogers, which is in part credit to the team\u2019s partners in the Silicon Valley region. \u201cWhat we\u2019re trying to build here, we want to be sustaining the next 8-10 years the next wave of buildout.\u201d<\/p>\n
The venue hosted the Super Bowl in 2016 and next summer will host five FIFA World Cup group stage games and a round of 32 game. Rogers said since the venue opened, Levi\u2019s Stadium has driven over $2 billion in estimated economic impact to the region. In 2026 alone it expects to drive $1 billion.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think having these events certainly was a motivation and a mark on the calendar,\u201d Rogers said. \u201cBut also making these investments and enhancements to the fan experience not only sets us up well to deliver an incredible show for those massively global stages but also long-term, we want to solidify ourselves as a global sports and entertainment destination venue.\u201d<\/p>\n
Between the Super Bowl and FIFA World Cup, there will not only be hundreds of thousands of fans attending the games but millions more around the world watching and seeing the venue. The 49ers also have global marketing arrangements in the United Kingdom, Mexico and the United Arab Emirates with a large fan base in Germany added in for even more eyeballs on Levi\u2019s Stadium.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope they see a venue that they immediately add to their bucket list if it isn\u2019t already on there,\u201d Rogers said. \u201cWe strive to deliver a fan experience that you can\u2019t get anywhere else in the world. We want fans to come here from afar to enjoy Levi\u2019s Stadium. When they\u2019re watching the big game or any of the FIFA matches, I hope they see a stadium that\u2019s gorgeous and technologically advanced and looks like a place they want to come and experience incredible sporting experiences for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
