The city-owned stadium is managed by the San Francisco 49ers.
SANTA CLARA — In the wake of a Santa Clara County civil grand jury report critical of two councilmembers who accepted football tickets from the San Francisco 49ers for a tour of Levi’s Stadium, the city will now limit the tours.
Last year’s scathing civil grand jury report, titled “Unsportsmanlike Conduct,” recommended the council adopt a policy around stadium tours, and on Tuesday night, the council voted 4-3 to limit themselves to two tours in a 12-month period of Levi’s Stadium and the Santa Clara Convention Center. Mayor Lisa Gillmor, Vice Mayor Kevin Park and Councilmember Kathy Watanabe cast the dissenting votes.
Councilmember Suds Jain called a Levi’s Stadium tour he took in January 2022 with Councilmember Anthony Becker “eye-opening.” Jain said they both purchased tickets to the event to avoid side-stepping any gift laws and he never even saw his seat.
