During the Town Hall meeting, it was revealed that the SJDA plans to revive the fiberglass shark artist collaboration, a successful initiative from years ago. This would involve local artists decorating new shark statues for auction, similar to the original program that resulted in 100 shark statues being scattered throughout San Jose. This initiative not only supports local artists but also brings a fun and engaging public art element back to the city.
Another exciting development discussed was the proposal for a restaurant week to coincide with the Super Bowl. The idea is to draw attention to local dining venues as thousands of visitors are expected in the South Bay rather than San Francisco. This event could provide a significant boost for local restaurants and create a vibrant food scene that showcases the culinary offerings of Downtown San Jose during one of the biggest sporting events.
Additionally, plans are in place for postgame concerts after the World Cup matches to be held at Levi's Stadium. With six World Cup games taking place, the SJDA is organizing major concerts and celebrations in Downtown San Jose following each match. This initiative aims to capitalize on the influx of sports fans and create a festive atmosphere while promoting local music and entertainment.
