SAN FRANCISCO – The Super Bowl returns to the Bay Area for the first time in a decade on Sunday, and the stars of the San Francisco 49ers think it’s a good choice.
Levi’s Stadium was the site of Super Bowl L, Peyton Manning’s final game, while Stanford Stadium was the site of Super Bowl XIX, when the nearby 49ers defeated the Miami Dolphins, 38-16.
“It’s a historic town with a lot of character. The food, the hills, the houses, the water, the bridge, everything. It’s also a great town, and it’s really cool to see it come to life even more than it already is,” Christian McCaffrey told Pak Gazette Digital on Radio Row before the big game.

“Man, I think San Francisco has a lot to offer,” quarterback Brock Purdy added. “Obviously, with the restaurants, the experiences, how beautiful it is here with the Golden Gate Bridge and the ocean. It’s a great city, great people. So having the Super Bowl here is really cool.”
Levy Restaurants also headed to the Bay Area for the big game. Fred Warner had the opportunity to take a look at the Super Bowl menu while recovering from his injury and watching his Niners play from the suites at Levi’s Stadium.

“I had the pleasure of trying some of the items they will have on Super Bowl Sunday in my suite last season. They had steak and fries, which were delicious, man, that’s what I like, a delicious combination of steak and fries. Crab nachos, which were fantastic. Some ribs, so they had some really good options, man. I think it’s going to be a hit.”
Warner also echoed his peers’ sentiments about the California city.
“I think it’s just because it’s a melting pot, man. All the different cultures mix, all the diversity and mix,” Warner said. “You can get a little bit of everything you’re looking for here and of course playing in the largest stadium in the entire NFL, Levi’s Stadium, you can’t beat it, so I think it’s going to be a great Super Bowl Sunday and also a great week with all the different activities they have planned for everyone.”

The game itself takes place about an hour from San Francisco, but the Super Bowl experience and Radio Row were held in the heart of the city, at the Moscone Center.
