Levi’s Stadium- December 2013 views of the new 49ers NFL stadium

Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA is the future home of the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers.

Levi’s Stadium is also the host of Super Bowl 50 in 2016.

All 2014 home NFL games will be played on Sundays. The 49ers won’t play any Monday Night Football at Santa Clara stadium next year. The $1.3 billion Levi’s Stadium is a unique home stadium, as no other NFL team has their home stadium located further away from their home city than the 49ers, at 38.3 miles (61.6 kilometers).

Gillette Stadium, home to the New England Patriots, is located in Foxborough, Massachusetts, just 21 miles (34 kilometers) southwest of downtown Boston.

Cowboys Stadium, the city owned stadium that serves as the home of the Dallas Cowboys is only 18 miles (28.9 kilometers) from downtown Dallas.

Levi’s Stadium loses out on 2017 college football title game

A shortage of hotel rooms in the immediate vicinity and the lack of a track record were among the reasons Levi’s Stadium came up short in its bid to host the 2017 college football national championship game.

Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium on December 16, 2013 was chosen to host the Jan. 9, 2017, College Football Playoff National Championship Game, shutting out South Florida’s Sun Life Stadium.

The College Football Playoff, which begins with the 2014-15 season and will feature the four top teams as selected by a committee, also announced Monday that Arizona’s University of Phoenix Stadium will host the Jan. 11, 2016, title game.

In addition to South Florida’s 2015 semifinal, the Orange Bowl was also previously awarded semifinal games during the rotations in 2018-19, 2021-22 and 2024-25 — thereby eliminating the committee from bidding for the title games in ’19, ’22 and ’25.

The semifinals, through the 2025-26 season, will rotate among bowl games in Atlanta (Chick-fil-A), Dallas (Cotton), Miami (Orange), New Orleans (Sugar), Pasadena (Rose) and Phoenix (Fiesta).
