Worker at 49ers Stadium Dies

At the new $1.2 billion San Francisco 49ers stadium a truck driver's death was considered a workplace accident and not a crime by police. This was the second worker death at the construction site. Apparently the story was that a delivery truck driver was crushed early Monday October 14th, 2013 by a bundle of rebar being unloaded from his truck. The new stadium called Levi Stadium is replacing Candlestick Park and plans to be done by this July. Officials say they are working hard to get the stadium finished on time and to avoid delays. The open stadium is supposed to have the largest lower bowl in the league, ensuring the 68,500 fans are close to the action. The construction costs are being paid by $800 million in seat and luxury box sales, along with a 20-year, $220 million naming rights agreement with Levi Strauss and Co. announced in May.
