I'm afraid I have to agree.

Is it true that Levi stadium is 50 miles from the bay?

Per Google Maps:
46 miles from Coit Tower to the stadium. 38 miles from Candlestick Point to Levi's.

Yup. Which I've always wondered whether it would impact attendance. I mean, it's the equivalent of the Rams moving from LA to Anaheim back in the day. It may not seem like much but it also seems that it makes a big difference.

Only a couple miles, the Bay extends pretty far south, but yeah, nowhere near San Francisco. They're the Silicon Valley Niners now...

If they were the Joe Montana/Jerry Rice 49ers, I'm sure that stadium would be full.

Well being on the East coast, and not looking at a map, LA to Anaheim doesnt seem far. Haha.

That's crazy. 50 miles would take Metlife Stadium (Giants stadium) thru New York and in to Danbury Connecticut or could make it all the way to the Delaware Water gap and reach Pennsylvania...

Dont you guys have awful traffic in Cali too? How long does it take to travel 50 miles?

levi stadium is close to the bay, but might as well be two hours from san francisco given traffic... it's also in a funky location, you have to drive through a silicon valley neighborhood as you approach the stadium, man i would be pizzed if i was a homeowner in that area, hell i'd move, it's such a mess through there on game day, and crazy during night games, as loud drunks walk through residential front yards on their way to the satellite parking lots... candlestick was a huge move from kezar , which was a truly a san francisco stadium, the move to santa clara is just silly, nothing like the rams playing in anaheim, still seemed like los angeles to me, santa clara doesn't give you the feeling that you're anywhere near san francisco.

Depends what part. Bay Area and Southern Cal the major highways could take quite a while. I vacationed in Disneyland once. Dodger Stadium was 30 miles from my hotel. It took 90 minutes to get there. I'm not used that traffic. I live in the central valley and I could go 50 miles in 40 minutes during rush hour on highway 99. If I'm going 70 I have to stay in the right lane because I'm slowing traffic down in the fast lane.
