POLICING LEVI’S STADIUM A COALITION IS By Dan Winter, Assistant Chief, Santa Clara PD In June of 2010, the voters of the City of Santa Clara approved the plan to build an NFL stadium in the north end of the city. The stadium was to be located in the corner of a parking lot used by Great America Theme Park. The San Francisco 49ers have had their team headquarters adjacent to that parking lot for a couple of decades, so putting their stadium in our city seemed like a great fit.
