Levi’s Stadium (San Francisco)

Levi’s Stadium is an open-air venue in Santa Clara, within the San Francisco Bay Area. Standard capacity is about 70,000, expandable for major events; FIFA has not published a tournament-specific configuration as of today. The seating design places roughly two-thirds of spectators in the lower bowl, which concentrates noise and keeps action close. Use the “San Francisco Bay Area” designation when navigating FIFA’s materials; locally, the venue is known as Levi’s Stadium.

Two principal seating bowls with an expansive lower level, natural-grass pitch (Bandera Bermuda with rye overseed), and an open roofline with limited canopy coverage. Premium areas include the East Field Club, United Club, Levi’s® 501® Club, and Graton Winners Club. Sound carries well because of the large lower bowl and steep upper corners; video boards anchor each end. Conditions tip (venue guidance): sunscreen is provided at on-concourse dispensers on select event days—use them if you’re in sun-exposed seats.

• Concessions & water. The stadium is cashless; reverse ATMs are available. Sealed plastic water bottles (non-alcoholic, <24 oz) may be brought in, and refill stations are located near multiple sections.
• Merch & payments. On-site team stores and kiosks operate on event days; cashless payments are standard throughout the stadium. 
• Facilities. Family restrooms on all concourses; three first-aid stations (Main 122, Upper 323, SAP Suite Tower Atrium). 
• Accessibility. Wheelchair and companion seating throughout; elevators/escalators at major gates; wheelchair escorts on request; assistive listening/closed captioning available; accessible routes and courtesy shuttles; accessible water fountains and refill stations.

Levi’s Stadium prohibits most bags. Allowed: clear bags up to 12″ x 6″ x 12″, one-gallon clear zip-top bags, and small non-clear clutches up to 4.5″ x 6.5″. Medical bags and diaper bags accompanying a child are permitted subject to inspection; non-compliant bags must remain offsite. Mobile Locker Company operates on-site bag check locations (fee) near the RV lot by the Hilton and on Tasman near Gate F. Policies may vary by event; always check your event guide.

All guests and items are subject to search under the stadium’s security policies; permitted/prohibited lists apply. Walk-through screening and bag inspection are in effect. Re-entry is not allowed once you exit the secure perimeter. The venue is smoke-free (no smoking or vaping) under city ordinance. For World Cup 26™, tickets are mobile-only via the FIFA World Cup 26™ app; screenshots won’t be accepted.

Follow the venue Code of Conduct; text “SUPPORT” plus your location to 573-549-HELP for assistance. Gate opening times vary by event—arrive early to clear security and reach your seat. June and early July evenings in Santa Clara are typically dry; light layers help after sunset in upper levels. Bring a sealed water bottle and refill inside to stay hydrated. Flags must follow the permitted-items list (no poles; size limits may apply).
