Levi’s Stadium - Ready for the Big Game!





While Super Bowl 50 will be held at the Levi’s Stadium on February 7th, it seems like just yesterday that The Conco Companies’ crews were working hard to help construct the new home for the San Francisco 49ers.  In order to be eligible to host the 2016 Super Bowl, the stadium had to be completed and operational for at least two seasons before the big game.  That meant that Conco, along with the rest of Levi’s construction team were on an accelerated schedule to complete the project in time for the start of the 49ers 2014 season. 

Even though the 1.2 billion facility is one of the most technologically advanced stadiums every built, gearing up to host Super Bowl 50 is not easy task.  According to CBS’s CNET, the stadium has, “400 miles of fiber and copper cable and 1,200 Wi-Fi access points capable of handling a torrent of data, all so fans at the game can use the Super Bowl app to seamlessly order food by phone.” 

This means spectators should have plenty of bandwidth to post photos or to comment on the action through their favorite social media sites.  While other Super Bowl games in the past have experienced power outages, (think back three years ago to New Orleans) Levi's Stadium has 10 times the bandwidth mandated by the NFL at other stadiums including that of the AT & T Stadium near Dallas. 

One misstep thus far, which of course was recorded on social media, was when the grounds crew was preparing the field and ended up painting the Denver Bronco’s logo and team colors on the wrong end zone.  While the mistake was quickly fixed, it probably is a good thing that the Panther’s team colors are blue and black as to help hide any remnants of the Bronco’s colors.


The Conco Companies are one of the leading concrete contractors in the Western U.S. and offer a wide range of quality services and products.  Our experience includes providing services for commercial, educational, parking and other construction development as well as public works projects.  Currently we serve California, Washington State, Oregon, Colorado and Nevada.
