SANTA CLARA, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Ask any Francisco or Santa Clara resident and they can’t tell you which teams are playing at next Sunday’s Super Bowl 50.  Certainly not the 49ers, that much they can tell you.

We know, of course, that Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara will be hosting the championship game between the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos.  But ticket sales are not going well.  In fact, they’re dismal. As of today, only half of the 68,500 stadium seats have been sold.

But the city of San Francisco stands to benefit from this year’s NFL championship game.  It has established a Super Bowl City by the waterfront at the Embarcadero.  It opened today and will continue until game day on February 7.  Already, San Francisco is predicting that it will earn more revenue than the Levi’s stadium.

And we can see why.

The average ticket price for a Levi’s stadium seat is $3,500.

Access to Super Bowl City is a mere $35, and that includes a front row-seat to the game and the half-time show via a super gigantic screen, concerts, vendor hospitality tents, food booths, fireworks, a scenic view of the San Francisco Bay and the Bay Bridge.  What else can one ask for?  If one can afford to spend $3,500, he or she can even have a penthouse suite at the Hyatt Embarcadero and have a private Super Bowl party while still having access to Super Bowl City 17 floors down.

What a deal! San Francisco sure know how to party.
