Paying Your Way Around the Bay – The Road to the Big Game
 
Drawing inspiration from Silicon Valley’s tech giants, Levi’s Stadium® boasts some seriously lust-worthy innovation. From ordering brews to your seat (literally – you don’t even have to move!) to watching instant replays on your phone, fans can rely on their mobile devices to enhance the game. As the leader in digital payments, we’re upping the ante on this mobile-first approach and giving you ways to make it to and from the Big Game with nothing but PayPal in your pocket (and your ID. and probably a foam finger while you’re at it).
 
So skip the struggle and use PayPal to avoid these obvious fouls:
 
  • Personal Foul
It’s a new year and there’s new swag to be had – only excuse for no new gear is superstition (we just hope you’ve been washing that lucky jersey). Check-out with PayPal in-store or online with Macy's to score team apparel and limited edition Big Game styles ahead of the game.
 
Apparel: First Down
 
  • Tripping
Racing to secure overhead space on the plane is no reason for unsportsmanlike conduct. We’re here to help you get hooked up with a flight and reduce some travel stress. From United to Southwest to JetBlueand beyond, use PayPal to pay for airfare to the Big Game.
 
Travel: Second Down
 
  • Encroachment
You could call your sister-in-law’s coworker’s mom to see if you can crash at her place in Santa Clara Big Game weekend… OR you could save that awkward conversation for another day and reserve a room using Expedia, Hotels.com or bookit.com. Prefer to get a taste for true California living instead? Use PayPal to quickly book a Bay Area home, apartment or room with Airbnb. You’ll be squared away with your own spot to stay and on to more important things, like figuring out how to get around our fair city.
 
Accommodations: Third Down
 
  • Delay of Game
Don’t miss a minute of the action trying to coordinate transportation. Call for a ride with Lyft or use the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency MuniMobile ticketing app to get around town. With payment on lock, you’ll cruise the Bay with ease and can head straight to the game (or the security line...).
 
Transportation: Fourth Down
 
You’ve avoided the fouls and crossed the goal line - now it’s time for the much deserved reward. Peruse our “Destination, Inspiration” Pinterest board and find the perfect Bay break to satisfy your hunger (and your sweet tooth, obviously). Seriously, you’ve earned it, you savvy Bay Area traveler you!
