Jed & the whole crew at Levi's stadium provide a truly world-class experience every single game. With a brand new stadium comes a brand new wave of Niner's fans. Since this idea just came about during the game on Sunday... Let's rewind back to week one and get us all caught up in this week's edition of "Dear Levi's":
Vikings @ Levi's
Dear Levi's,
Thank you so much for making sure there was ample staff for our tailgate during the home opener vs. the Vikings. The staff may not always know what is going on, what they are doing, or even where they are, but there's a lot of them... Although Brent and I were erroneously directed in a circle around the entire parking lot, the brilliant staff made up for it by accidentally sending us to block a bus, and letting us in out of sheer frustration. People were yelling, but they didn't let that get them down. To Jed & and all the folks at Levi's, you prove yet again that quality is irrelevant as long as you have quantity.

P.S. The post game strategy to keep the parking lots from flooding with fans leaving the game was brilliant! Once again, VERY sound logic. Levi's highly compensated Recreational Event Transportation And Release Director (R.E.T.A.R.D) explained to the staff "people won't flood the parking lots all at once, if we simply don't let them leave". Nice job R.E.T.A.R.D.! I'm sure being in close quarters with rival fans after consuming alcohol had nothing to do with the ruthless beating of a Vikings fan after the game.
Look at all those people having such a great time hanging out together! Levi's... you always find a way to bring the masses together!
Until next time,

Packers @ Levi's
Dear Levi's,
Wow! I am impressed! I guess the overwhelming amount of staff last game wasn't enough to stop the fights, but you guys are always 1 step ahead of where you should have been last game. Great reaction. Border patrol ain't got shit on Levi's. It's not even slightly unnerving that they think his presence is necessary! I didn't even ask him to pose... he is just such a hardened vet that he looks like that naturally.

I have to say though, I am disappointed for the first time ever though. Since the experience of going to Levi's is all about social media, and tweeting, and instagramming like Kaepernick taught me, I can't imagine why my instagram post didn't make the #cometoplay board. I saw some people's picture 3 or 4 times, but sadly, I was not featured. Here is the picture they decided to pass up.
This one from the Cardinal's game last season didn't make it either... but I think it was just because I messed up on my drawing of a foam finger.
Oh well... Maybe next game I'll make it...
Until next time,

Ravens @ Levi's
Dear Levi's,
Did you guys find a cone company that was going out of business and had a major liquidation sale because there was no shortage of cones this week. The R.E.T.A.R.D. displays his brilliance again! He realized that 10 cones are less expensive than 1 employee, and they are just as effective. I'm sure all of the money that he is saving will be reinvested back in the team (after his bonus for saving money of course).
This week I want to focus on the cultural diversity that Levi's Stadium has brought into my life.

(Pictured above from left to right)
Gurdeep, Amit, Abhishek, Deepak, and Neeraj made their first appearance a 49ers game this season, and I couldn't have been happier to have them. Their culture seemed a bit different, but that is why the 49ers faithful prides itself on a culture of diversity. For example, at one point Gurdeep asked Neeraj "who is "the faithful?" I thought we were playing the Ravens" and I was able to share a bit of my culture with them when I told them "an elite group of fans".
I also learned that in their culture they worship Colin Kaepernick, but I don't think they told poor Deepak that they were all going to wear his jersey. You looked good anyways Deepak!

Apparently in their culture it is customary during a big play to all stand up, and turn your back to the field and speak with your friends a few rows back. I'm not sure if I'll be trying that one any time soon, but I am glad to have experienced it.
I'd say my favorite moment of the game was Bruce Miller's 28 yard catch with that great stiff-arm. I managed to capture that moment, and if you look really closely at the Jumbotron above Deepak's head, you too can relive that great play.

Thanks again Levi's for bringing together a diverse culture. New fans and Faithful alike when we spell the word WINNERS (in English) it always starts with a W! I can't wait until the next game!
