The San Francisco 49ers were founded in 1944, played as a charter member of the AAFC starting in 1946, and joined the NFL in 1950 after that league folded. Powered by a golden era in the 1980s and ’90s featuring Joe Montana and Jerry Rice, the club won five Super Bowls in all, becoming the first franchise in NFL history to reach five championships.
The San Francisco 49ers play at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, as an NFC West franchise, one of the greatest dynasties in league history with five Super Bowl titles during the Joe Montana and Jerry Rice era of the 1980s-90s.
Seating Guide
Levi’s Stadium is a state-of-the-art venue in the heart of Silicon Valley — despite the team name, it’s actually located in Santa Clara.
The nickname “The Faithful” emerged during the Joe Montana-led glory years of the 1980s, embracing both longtime supporters and the wave of new fans the era brought in — carrying the pride of a fandom that traces back to the old Kezar Stadium days.

💡 Insider Tips
🚌 Getting There
VTA light rail’s Green/Orange lines connect directly to Great America Station right at the stadium’s front gate. Caltrain riders should transfer to the VTA Orange Line at Mountain View Station.
🏨 Where to Stay
The stadium is actually in Santa Clara, not San Francisco — keep this in mind when booking lodging. The Hilton Santa Clara, across from the Santa Clara Convention Center, is the closest option at under a 5-minute walk.
🎟️ Tickets
Face-value tickets often sell out, so buying through official partner resale platforms like StubHub and SeatGeek is common — prices spike considerably for rivalry games against teams like the Raiders or Seahawks.
🗺️ Nearby Sightseeing
Levi’s Stadium is close to the Stanford University campus, and the free-admission Intel Museum across from the Santa Clara Convention Center is also within walking distance, making for an easy add-on visit.
