Rooted in Silicon Valley, both the 49ers and NetApp have a
history of prioritizing technology, data, and innovation. As the
49ers enter the second decade of Levi’s® Stadium, the organization
plans to make major tech enhancements to the venue with the goal of
creating a new seamless and connected fan experience while laying a
technology foundation that supports future growth and innovation
for 49ers operations. Intelligent data infrastructure powered by
NetApp solutions, including the NetApp Keystone
storage-as-a-service offering, will expedite improvements to
ingress and egress, bathroom and concession wait times, mobile app
functionality, and more.
“When Levi’s® Stadium opened in 2014, it was one of the most
technologically advanced stadiums in the country. While we have
remained diligent in making improvements to the fan experience year
over year, NetApp will empower us to make major changes that will
bring the building into the forefront of technology-focused sports
and entertainment venues,” said Costa Kladianos, 49ers EVP and Head
of Technology.
“We are excited to welcome NetApp, a Bay Area brand and global
leader in data infrastructure, as a founding level corporate
partner,” said Brent Schoeb, 49ers Chief Revenue & Marketing
Officer. “We look forward to integrating NetApp’s best-in-class,
innovative technology across the 49ers and Levi’s® Stadium
organization to enhance the fan experience.”
In addition to powering the 49ers’ goal of enhancing Levi’s®
Stadium, NetApp has become the presenting sponsor of the 49ers 2025
NFL Draft, and the Levi’s® Stadium Owners Club, located on the East
side of the building, will be renamed to recognize NetApp’s
sponsorship. Finally, NetApp will be the presenting sponsor for the
49ers’ strategy, data, and analytics conference, Horizon Summit,
returning to Levi’s® stadium in June 2025. Additional details about
the sixth iteration of the event, including dates and confirmed
speakers, will be announced in the coming months.
“By becoming an integral part of the 49ers' operations, NetApp
is demonstrating our deep commitment to innovation, leadership, and
excellence in Silicon Valley,” said George Kurian, CEO, NetApp.
“Intelligent data infrastructure is crucial to the sports fan
experience and team performance. Our support of the 49ers'
ambitious goals for making its home stadium the benchmark for
excellence in fan experience and team performance demonstrates our
strong ties to our San Francisco Bay Area home and our unique
capabilities to make data an asset in leading organizations
achieving their transformation goals.”
