Levi's Stadium pictures: A run through of some of the highlights

I had a chance to tour Levi's Stadium on Monday. Here are some pictures from the event.

By David Fucillo
  • Levi's Stadium view from the train station David Fucillo
  • View of the stadium from the front desk of the 49ers offices. It's pretty damn close David Fucillo
  • Looking out the front door of the 49ers offices at Levi's Stadium David Fucillo
  • Walking in through where the 49ers might come out for pre-game introductions David Fucillo
  • These goal posts were installed about a week before the NFL decided they needed to go 5 feet higher. Whoops David Fucillo
  • That suite tower is pretty massive. But with limited seats in front, it feels like you're right over the field David Fucillo
  • A view of the field area from just behind the end zone. David Fucillo
  • The main seating area David Fucillo
  • A look at the other seating area and the monstrous scoreboard. The second scoreboard is behind me in this picture David Fucillo
  • This is the main entrance. That is the end of where an escalator comes up from a pedestrian bridge. You can see the top of the bridge to the right of where that escalator is David Fucillo
  • If you come up the escalator and out to the seating bowl, this is what you'll see. David Fucillo
  • This picture does not do the concourse justice. You can probably fit three Candlestick Park concourses in here David Fucillo
  • This is the 49ers home locker room. It's still under construction. They had some of the lockers, but I could not take pictures as they first want to unveil them to the team. They look really nice David Fucillo
  • This is a second view of the 49ers locker room David Fucillo
  • This is the visiting locker room. It looks quite nice. While they could have gone cheaper to give the 49ers the advantage, they needed to make it nice to get the larger events like the Super Bowl David Fucillo
  • A second look at the visiting locker room David Fucillo
  • This is the 49ers coaching box. It's on the 800 level of the suite tower, so pretty damn high. David Fucillo
  • This is the same home coaching box with the broader view. I suspect Roman would be down the stairs in that front area David Fucillo
  • This is in one of the club areas. The 49ers will come through the tunnel toward me when they walk out for pre-game warmups. They will come from the direction of that construction worker in the distnace David Fucillo
  • The players will walk out these doors to the field for pre-game warmups David Fucillo
  • This is the entrance to what will be the 49ers Hall of Fame. It will be a multi-level set-up David Fucillo
  • This is the press box area. It's pretty huge. This is the second level, with another stretch running right in front of it David Fucillo
  • This is what I believe was called the "Visa Club" David Fucillo
  • Some more of the Visa Club area David Fucillo

This past weekend, I made a trip out to the Bay Area for a little bit of work, and a little bit of vacation. For those that are not aware, I live in Washington, D.C., so trips out to the Bay Area are not exactly frequent. I was out there for the Falcons and Colts games last year, but I'm hoping to get out a little more frequently this year.

Part of my trip involved a visit down to Santa Clara. I scheduled the trip in part because I shot some video with their "49ers Studios" crew. They are putting together a lot of video content down there for 49ers.com. If you watch NFL Network, you might recall their various Top 10 shows. They do Top 10 quarterbacks, top 10 running backs and so many more. 49ers Studios is using that idea, except they are focusing exclusively on our favorite team. They had me in to shoot some video for some of that production. They'll start airing later this summer as training camp gets going, so I'll make sure and drop in some links.

I also managed to schedule a tour of Levi's Stadium. I got to check out much of the stadium, which means I also got some photos from different areas. Above, you can see a gallery of some of the pictures I took. I got a fairly comprehensive tour of the stadium, although there were a few areas I could not get pictures. I've included brief captions for the photos. Just scroll over the photo, and it will explain what you are looking at. Big thanks to the 49ers for setting this up.

The stadium itself is getting closer and closer to completion. The grass is not yet installed, but it sounds like that will be happening sometime soon. The stadium itself will open on August 2, with an MLS match between the San Jose Earthquakes and the Seattle Sounders. The 49ers will host their two home preseason games, hosting the Denver Broncos the week of August 14-18, and hosting the San Diego Chargers on August 24. Their next home game will be Week 2. That means the team basically has a month of a sort of soft opening to get ready for the kickoff of the regular season. Considering there is a good chance they open Levi's on Sunday Night Football, they'll want to make sure things are as close to perfect as possible.
