Levi’s Stadium, the glistening home of the San Francisco 49ers, has gone through its share of controversy. From Great America Theme Park’s long-standing resistance to the fact that it’s an hour outside of San Francisco to difficulty growing grass, things have always been tenuous.
The relationship between the Santa Clara and the 49ers organization has similarly been difficult. Criticism has come from both sides throughout the courting process and eventual marriage between city and team. The fight just got a lot bigger.
After threatening a few weeks ago, the Santa Clara City Council went ahead and declared the 49ers in violation of the Stadium Agreement that governs Levi’s Stadium.
