Turf issue already at 49ers new field???

Building turf over a landfill doesn't sound a great idea. As the landfill ages it gives off gasses and the ground moves slightly under it - causing lumps and discrepancies above. You might never get a really good surface if that's the case. In any event it does take turf quite a long time to really bed down.

different deal. Candlestick had issues because it was below sea level. Levi was built on a former landfill. Much like Shoreline amphitheater. It will take a couple years. Then be an extraordinary venue for decades.

Candledump is not below sea level. Clearly visible when driving up 101. Levi Stadium was not built on a landfill. The nearby golf course was built on a landfill.

Aww come on! Why do you have to ruin this for me? The fake story is so much better!

Candlestick is most definitely below sea level. And Levi was part of that landfill
