4.5K55Promise of Levi’s Stadium has not been fulfilled
@BASportsGuy @Russo49 @jenniferleechan yet Jim Tomsula got 5? Improve though the draft and start to build up — Win a Superbowl Chip (@Superbowlpls) March 31, 2016 Draft and start to build up. Don’t overspend in free agency. Trust the process. And my favorite … let’s wait and see. @BASportsGuy Kerr had never coached before. Maybe […]

4.4K28Everyone is talking about Levi’s Stadium turf (except 49ers and Ravens)
Justin Tucker had missed two field goals coming into yesterday’s game: a 50-yarder against Cincinnati in Week 3 and a 51-yard try in Week 5 against the Browns. But the way Tucker’s 45-yard attempt missed yesterday (his first failed attempt from less than 50 yards after 37 consecutive makes, by the way) caught everyone’s attention, […]

3.2K20Fair or not, new fight video doesn’t help 49ers fans’ less-than-sterling reputation
Levi’s Stadium was supposed to be different than Candlestick, which in its final days often saw scenes reminiscent of “Hamsterdam” from The Wire in its parking lots before and after games. And mostly, Levi’s has been different. Fights broke out in the stands at The Stick all the time. Those in the press box with […]

3.6K5Report: Tony Romo might not play vs 49ers due to factors including Levi’s Stadium turf condition
The embarrassment from two weeks ago is lingering, even as the 49ers lay down replacement sod after the Taylor Swift shows last weekend. Tony Romo play limited if at all against the 49ers because of the oline injuries and the concerns about the grass at the new stadium — Clarence Hill (@clarencehilljr) August 21, 2015 […]

4.4K29Rob Lowe riles up 49ers fans with totally valid point about Levi’s Stadium
A tweet from Rob Lowe caught the attention of many this morning. #NFL Re: new LA stadium. I don’t care about new age gizmos. Just make it LOUD. If I want white wine in peace, I can go to a #Niner game. — Rob Lowe (@RobLowe) April 24, 2015 Granted, this is the same TV […]

4.8K1WWE star Roman Reigns trains at 49ers facility for Wrestlemania
In recent years the 49ers have found players in unconventional areas. Lawrence Okoye was a rugby guy who was best known for hurling the discus in England. Jarryd Hayne was an Aussie rugby star. Neither of them had much (if any) American football experience, but due to physical skills that could translate well to certain positions, they’re now […]

3.5K9Some clarification on the Harbaugh/museum story
This is coming a bit too late, since the story blew up to the point where TV stations are using the photos taken by Jesse Taylor and myself. But there are a few things that should be noted when it comes to this whole thing about the 49ers museum at Levi’s Stadium. Yes, the Jim Harbaugh exhibit that […]

4.5K9049ers museum takes down Jim Harbaugh display
According to Jesse Taylor, who writes for Warriorsworld and other sites, the 49ers museum no longer contains a certain homage to one of the team’s former head coaches. Niners museum has literally covered up the Harbaugh era. This was once a Harbaugh plaque. pic.twitter.com/kLcK5Pxt2H — Jesse Taylor (@JesseTaylor74) March 2, 2015 Here’s what used to […]

5.6K5Uber charges Sharks fan $452 for 12-mile ride home from Levi’s Stadium
Apparently, getting out of the area surrounding Levi’s Stadium was a nightmare after Saturday night’s “Stadium Series” game between the San Jose Sharks and Los Angeles Kings. With about 70,000 fans in attendance, and the majority leaving after the Kings clinched a 2-1 victory, the parking lots were difficult to navigate. The lines for light rail […]

3.5K4Raiders and Chargers propose sharing L.A. stadium that looks a lot like Levi’s
Sam Farmer of the L.A. Times broke the news, and soon after there was a joint statement from the Raiders and Chargers: We have both been working in our home markets to find a stadium solution for many years, so far unsuccessfully. We remain committed to continuing to work in our home markets throughout 2015 […]

3.1K3Levi’s Stadium’s next turf challenge: NHL Stadium Series ice rink
The highs and lows of Levi’s Stadium have been well-chronicled on BASG throughout the 49ers’ debut season at their new home. Since we are less than two weeks away from the Sharks-Kings outdoor game at the new Santa Clara spot, I decided that it was time that I join the party. NHL officially took over Levi’s […]

11.6K105Five ideas to improve Levi’s Stadium
Whenever someone asked me what Levi’s Stadium is like, I couldn’t think of anything to say other than, “It’s nice.” The newness was all that stood out. The surrounding area is safer than Bayview-Hunters Point. Everything (besides the field) was shiny and fresh, gleaming white or deep red. The Wi-Fi was better. The concessions were better. The lines […]

5.0K58Jed York sends email to season ticket holders about Jim Harbaugh
Jed York sent an email to Levi’s Stadium season ticket holders on Monday evening discussing how “a change was made” yesterday. Here’s what it says: Not much in this email stands out besides two parts. 1. “Change is often accompanied by skepticism, and I respect your right to have questions. Ultimately, the decisions we make […]

It’s time to do something about violent 49ers fans
We’re less than halfway through the season, and already two videos have hit YouTube containing extraordinarily violent scenes at football stadiums. One took place at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale in Week 3, and the other was from Sunday’s game at Levi’s Stadium. Both incidents involved people falling on the ground after getting hit, […]
