Sadly, I have to agree with this.
Believe me, I'm thrilled that the National Title game is being played here, and Levi's Stadium is just as good as any other place to play it.
The problem is that the Bay Area is one of the worst places for College Football. There is no tradition here, and there is no hype for the game itself. California & Stanford have their following, but it's more of a student thing and that's not enough.
There are a lot of transplants from many universities who have their own football clubs in this area, but not enough to fill an entire stadium.
Too bad, because this is such a good area
