The 49ers christened a new home stadium this year, but they’re still waiting for a new home-field advantage.
Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News takes a look at the “relatively tranquil” atmosphere at Levi’s Stadium. And Kawakami makes a great point -- if a home-field advantage doesn’t emerge tonight against the Seahawks, it never will.
The 49ers are 3-2 at home this season, with no convincing victories. Most recently, San Francisco barely beat Washington.
The toughest test comes against the Seahawks. As Kawakami said, if it’s not loud and raucous in Santa Clara tonight, perhaps it never will be.
