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.
