Levi’s Stadium is officially sold out for 49ers-Vikings

SANTA CLARA — The 49ers’ first playoff game at Levi’s Stadium is sold out, team officials announced late Monday night.

The NFL divisional game Saturday at 1:35 p.m. featuring San Francisco (13-3) against the Minnesota Vikings (11-6) also is expected to attract the largest home crowd in the 73-year history of the team, officials added.

“We’re taking it to another level on Saturday,” said Alex Chang, the 49ers’ chief marketing officer. “Our players are ready for it, our fans are ready for it. You are going to see it and feel it.”

Levi’s Stadium’s capacity is listed at 68,500, about 1,200 fewer than that of Candlestick Park, but it can expand to about 75,000 people for large events. The 49ers attracted 70,000 or more fans five times this season. They recorded the largest crowd in Levi’s history on Nov. 24 against the Green Bay Packers with 71,500 fans.

The highest attendance figure in the brief history of Levi’s Stadium belongs to WrestleMania 31, which drew 76,976 fans in 2015.

But Levi’s has played host to an NFL playoff game: Super Bowl 50 in February 2016 saw the Denver Broncos defeat the Carolina Panthers, plus a halftime show from Beyonce, Bruno Mars and Coldplay. The Super Bowl attracted a crowd of 71,088 fans.

The second-ever NFL postseason game at Levi’s Stadium should bring more intensity than the first, with 49ers fans lining the seats. If San Francisco wins, Levi’s would play host to the NFC Championship game Jan. 19 as the 49ers have home-field advantage through the playoffs.

49ers officials said fans interested in buying tickets for Saturday’s game would need to explore the resale market at Ticketmaster.com/49ers or 49ers.com/tickets.
