home opener which is set for Sunday at Levi’s Stadium. Not only does it mean a return to football here in the Bay Area it also brings plenty of money into the local economy. The arch-rival Seattle Seahawks are coming to town but this year without their former star quarterback Russell Wilson. The division rivalry brings some extra excitement to the game this weekend but fans say they are just glad to have a return to football.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan says it makes a huge difference when you finally get to play at home in front of your fans. "You always choose the crowd and being in your own stadium because that is such a big factor. The crowd noise and football – not that I major in any other sports – but I just don’t get how other sports it can be as big as an advantage," Shanahan said.
Other fans, both adults and kids, feel the same way. "When there is a home game can you feel the buzz? Of course we can really hear the crowd. And all of the people are just excited," said Jennifer De Los Santos, a Santa Clara resident who lives near the stadium. Games are also big business for the local community. "So that helps the hoteliers, the restaurateurs, the retail --- everything that is going on in Santa Clara County," said Christian D. Malesic, who is the CEO of the Silicon Valley Central Chamber of Commerce. Malesic said having a pro-sports team is yet another form of economic diversification in our tech-heavy region, and also benefits the entire community in ways that most fans may never think about.
