"When Super Bowl 60 attendees arrive at Levi's Stadium on Sunday they will be treated to more than just a great football game: a uniquely Bay Area experience with special food and decor. On Wednesday, ABC7 got a firsthand look at Levi's Stadium's field and Super Bowl food and drinks. Officials say NFL crews worked for five weeks reconfiguring the stadium to host 65,000 fans and media from around the world."
""I'd go with the Dungeness crab potachos," Severson said. "Local, fresh Dungeness crab with white cheddar fondue -- can't go wrong. Our take on an upscale Super Bowl-worthy nacho. I kind of issued this challenge to all the chefs that I work here with, and I was like, 'Let's all come up with a cool dish. Let's create a wow item.' Most NFL stadiums don't get to host a Super Bowl very often. So, we really wanted this to be memorable," he said."
"They also worked hard to make sure the gig game has a Bay Area look and feel. "Our NFL creative team really did a great job looking to the Bay and bringing the redwoods and a lot of that local flair that you'll see pop up throughout the different elements of it," NFL Senior Manager of Live Event Operations Kelsey Pietrangelo said."
Levi's Stadium underwent a five-week reconfiguration to host 65,000 Super Bowl 60 attendees, media and global visitors. The stadium features Bay Area-themed decor, including redwoods and localized design elements intended to evoke the Bay. Menu items showcase regional flavors such as Gilroy garlic steak frites, a Chinatown dog, a three-and-a-half-pound LX burger, and specialty items created by stadium chefs. Chef Jon Severson recommends Dungeness crab potachos made with local fresh crab and white cheddar fondue. Chefs were challenged to create memorable, upscale, Super Bowl-worthy dishes, and visiting NFL players complimented the showcased culinary creations. The design and menu aim to create a distinctly Bay Area experience for fans attending in person.
