Redbox Bowl Preview: What to do in the Bay Area?

The countdown to the Redbox Bowl kickoff draws near. Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California is not exactly located in San Francisco — strange considering the team that plays its home games at Levi’s Stadium is called the San Francisco 49ers.

As Thumpasaurus has mentioned when talking about Illinois Football heading to California, “We’re going to San Francisco like Kankakee is in Chicago.” There is a significant distance between San Francisco and Santa Clara, 40 miles to be exact.

That said, if you are going to the game, you are likely also going to spend a few days in the area, and the area does indeed include San Francisco.
