Levi's Stadium is one of the premier venues for indoor sports in the San Jose and Santa Clara areas near San Francisco. It opened in 2014 and is the home of the ever-popular NFL San Francisco 49ers. Because this venue is so large and versatile, it also hosts all kinds of other events and entertainment throughout the year.

Besides sports, one of the more popular events that happen at Levi's Stadium is concerts, and not just any concerts but some of the biggest names and tours in the industry. Some of the artists who have performed at the venue over the years include The Rolling Stones, Ed Sheeran, Elton John, Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Beyoncé, Keith Urban, U2, and One Direction.

Located at 4900 Marie P DeBartolo Way in Santa Clara, Levi's Stadium is about 45 minutes from San Francisco. Because of the relatively close proximity to San Francisco, it makes sense to do some sightseeing in the city first and then make your way over to the stadium in time for your event. San Francisco may even act as your "home spot" in terms of accommodations.

San Francisco is a popular tourist destination thanks to its mild temperatures year-round, its natural beauty of being located along the shores of the Pacific Ocean, and the backdrop of mountains in the Bay area. For those who appreciate history and architecture, the Golden Gate Bridge can be the highlight of your visit. Other sights, attractions, and tours in the area can include an Alcatraz tour, Pier 39, the Exploratorium, The Walt Disney Family Museum, Fisherman's Wharf, Union Square, Lombard Street, and the San Francisco Zoo to name a few.

If you've gotten tickets to see the 49ers or some other event at Levi's Stadium be aware that there is a bag policy in effect. So let's take a closer look at what the bag policy details.
