The Chargers game is the no-starters-at-all game four, unfortunately. Tends to be hot till around 7:30 or 8:00 this time of year, though again, the shady side isn't awful. The smoke in the air is starting to get bad and probably going to get worse, but it may be slightly better at Levi's since it's sorta near the marshlands (then again, that may make it worse since the smoke can just drift south across the water? I dunno, I'm not a smokeologist).

They do have a team museum that's pretty cool, sometimes it's open and free to visit in preseason. You can also see the future site of the Dwight Clark statue, or as we refer to it at the moment, "that wall over there."

Edit: Oh, they just added Salt & Straw ice cream to the stadium menu, so if you don't mind paying $18 for a single scoop in a cup, that'll help keep you cool.

Yeah I'm gonna wait till the week of to buy in case the smoke is bad / worse.

Salt & Straw opened two locations in Seattle earlier this year, plus I had them in Portland. Didn't know they made the trip south. I paid an arm and a leg for a custom ice cream sandwich at Safeco once, so I'm not above doing as such...

Wait, is that real because if so :eyepop:

So they basically did no site environment review because the land was cheap enough to use? Why wouldn't you at least make some basic redesigns? The climate difference between Candlestick and Santa Clara is...well, you know.

Until now I never really understood how one could cheap out on a $1.3 billion stadium. That place is the new FedEx Field.

Yes that is actually what happened. Jed York is a horrible idiot.

It’s really unfortunate because it’s such a good looking stadium. Great for concerts and college games in the off season, and NFL games late in the year. It’s just totally wrong for July, August, and most of September.

They’ve been talking about “looking into” a way to add shade. The local government hates them, so I’m not hopeful that even if they do invest the time, money and find someone with the expertise to design it, the construction will actually be approved.

There was one old guy who had a heart attack, but that might have been after seeing the concession prices. No one that I know of has died from the heat or sun: they’ve just fervently wanted to.

You could probably rent out a twitter bot/troll farm for about 20k to front as a bunch of lovestruck nerds to tweet at Elon Musk that he should swoop in and solve the shade crisis in Santa Clara and he'd do it.

Only catch is there's only a 50% chance whatever he delivers works. And if it doesn't he's gonna call Jimmy G a pedophile.

So we've got the Rams playing in three hours and the 49ers/Seahawks playing at 7 (not each other, obviously) on the west coast as far as the NFC West. Tomorrow at 7 is the Cards.

Do we do individual GDT's for preseason games?

No, we don’t need separate threads to laugh at each other for watching preseason games.

It will be complete by the end of the season, and demand fans come in during the off-season to try it out.
