"A big reason for the lengthy delays is that many of the roads closest to Levi's Stadium are shut down, with only police escorts for the teams and approved buses allowed in. For any people trying to drive to the game, the NFL also took over most of the main parking lots at Levi's Stadium, forcing people to find parking elsewhere."
"Multiple social media posts show a parking lot on Patrick Henry Drive that's roughly three-quarters of a mile west of the stadium charging $400 to park there. If you drove an oversized vehicle, that'll be an extra $20 on top of that. Santa Clara County also tried to get in on the parking action, even if their county parking lot is a little over a mile away."
Heavy traffic around Levi's Stadium prompted some fans to abandon rideshares and walk along Highway 237 toward the stadium hours before kickoff. Many roads nearest the stadium were shut down, with only police escorts and approved buses allowed, and the NFL commandeered most main parking lots. Parking options shifted farther away and prices spiked, including a lot charging $400 and an extra $20 for oversized vehicles, while a county lot sold spaces for $125 with shuttle routes. Some vendors charged high transport fees, such as a pedicab asking $100 per person, and locals considered selling garage spots.
