New 49ers Stadium

Last summer I started commuting past the new 49ers stadium site in Santa Clara. It was still just foundational steel at that point. Since then I've taken a couple dozen shots, all for the same location.

Here is what the stadium looked like on the 21st of August 2012. This location is different than all the subsequent photos. It was taken about 20 feet from the location of the remaining photos. Here you can see the four construction cranes lowered for the evening. The white columns on the right are the beginning of a ramp behind the score-board.

Here is the first photo from "The Spot"just two days later. This location covers the entire stadium. One crane is still working. On  the left is the beginning of a block of offices and boxes. It appears it will have a multi-story glass wall framing a series of escalators as a central architectural feature. In the center is the beginning of the first tier of seating. On the right the ramp is nearly three stories now and more of the scoreboard foundation is showing.
