One thing y'all gotta understand when they Super Bowl comes here to Silicon Valley is
money doesn't matter
First off Santa Clara County isn't alone in hosting this and planning it
Its a joint effort with SC County and SF County
San Francisco is actually the official host city
These demands by the NFL is chump change for the commission
Theyve already offset costs by the NFLs demands thru fund raisers.
Understand how much money, industry goes thru Santa Clara County
90% of the tech industry calls Santa Clara County home with the lone exception being Microsoft
While the super bowl being in cities like New York, New Orleans, Miami or even Phoenix
People are kissing the NFLs asses
The NFL is going to be kissing the asses of the Presidents, CEOs and Execs of these companys who control there infestructure
Google, Apple, Nvidia, Facebook, Yahoo, Cisco, Sun...
The NFL is going to be in negotiations for its future
advertising, tech, growth and expansion all hinders on technology
There is going to be so much money made on this super bowl behind the scenes...
With my talks I've had with some execs and even my companies CEO,
The future of the NFL and Technology is going to be negotiated during the 2 week period leading up to the game
The game will by far be the most expensive ticket EVERRRR
The stadium is in the Heart of the Valley and lacks parking
These companies don't care if the NFL uses there lots on the weekends for free
Hardly anyone works on the weekends anyways
Its not about them getting away with it per-say
Its about what economic effect it will have on the city
Which is non in this case for the Peninsula and South Bay
They've already agreed to all the terms
The commission is trying to expand the reach of the game by calling it a regional spectacle not just a local one
this by adding Monterrey Peninsula(Pebble Beach) up to Napa Wine Country
This is what I saw about San fran not benefiting from the sb
$40 million Super Bowl fund unlikely to benefit S.F.

Commuters off-load from a bus to transfer to other Muni vehicles at Church and Market streets on the third day of a sickout by Muni employees in San Francisco, Calif. on Wednesday, June 4, 2014. More workers reported for work today, but the system is still not operating at full capacity. The union employees are upset by a contract proposal made by MTA management.
It turns out the biggest slice of the $40 million being privately raised for the local costs of Super Bowl 50 will go into making the 49ers' new stadium ready for the big game - but none will go to cover San Francisco's expenses for playing host to the event.
Readying Levi's Stadium for the February 2016 game will mean adding seats and new turf, plus building a media center and hiring additional staffers, ticket takers and cleanup crews.
Other big game-related costs include throwing a tailgate party for 10,000 fans, building a league hospitality section outside the stadium, and providing hotel rooms, practice fields and transportation for the teams playing.
Part of the $40 million will also go into a weeklong NFL Experience mini-theme park in San Francisco and various events around the Bay Area.
The local host committee has also committed to helping Santa Clara with game-day security - which is going to be very expensive, because authorities figure the Super Bowl is just the type of high-profile event that terrorists might want to target.
And a quarter of whatever is raised will go to local charities.
None of the private money, however, will help pay San Francisco's hosting expenses - which will probably include hefty amounts of police, firefighter and Muni overtime.
City officials have hardly forgotten the millions of dollars they had to shell out to host the America's Cup, and say this time it will be different - although their logic is the same as it was before the big boating race.
That logic: All the parties and events associated with the game will be an economic boon.
"We know how to staff up and redeploy city resources in a very cost-effective manner," said mayoral spokeswoman
Christine Falvey.
Let's hope so.
