Related: About this forumYou can take an Uber to the Super Bowl — but not a Lyft
http://www.businessinsider.com/you-can-take-an-uber-to-the-super-bowl-but-not-a-lyft-or-a-taxi-2016-1If you wanted to take any car service other than Uber to the Super Bowl, think again.
The San Francisco-based ride-hailing company effectively bought exclusive rights to the Super Bowl, hosted 45 miles south of its headquarters in Santa Clara....
But, as part of its exclusive deal, Lyft and other car services won't be let into the stadium area.
Uber will be the only ride-hailing app to have its own designated pick-up and drop-off zones about a 15 minute walk from the doors. Passengers will have their own rider lounge to wait in for their rides, and the app will only let riders be picked up or dropped off from the one lot, so there won't be Ubers swarming the stadium.

I doubt you can even get a burger for $60 at Levi's!
Shultz recommends wearing as much 49ers red and gold as you can gather up. Thats what she is doing, and she has a closet full of the stuff.
When she wore her colors to the Super Bowl at Stanford Stadium in 1985, tickets cost $60 and fans got an Apple logo seat cushion they could keep. Tailgating was welcome in Stanfords eucalyptus groves. For Super Bowl 50, there is no tailgating in any NFL lot.

Hot dogs are not served at Levi's. They're called "frankfurters" and cost 12 bucks!
