Not all of the booths will have all of the quarter-zips and sweaters you want, so make sure to check what’s on display before you get in line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/levisstadium/status/1684294010016342023?s=21&t=QuxV6WV363bDls3p8Z9G5Q\">a pop-up merchandise booth\u003c/a> open on Red Lot 1, Thursday, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday beginning at 2 p.m. Levi’s Stadium says it will not allow fans to start lining up before 8 a.m. There is limited parking, so the stadium’s post encourages fans to take public transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Levi’s Stadium’s Twitter account, show day merchandise sales will begin at 2:00 p.m. and will continue until the end of the show. Merchandise will be located in Red Lot 1 (and also inside the stadium.) However you can’t park in Red Lot 1 if you don’t have a ticket. Levi’s Stadium wrote that fans will not be allowed to line up earlier than 2:00 p.m. (\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/reel/CvNphh4rn3l/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\">If you brave the lines\u003c/a>, bring water.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may want to be careful when trying to wash your new merchandise, however.

What follows is a quick rundown of some of the highlights of these new traditions at the concert that are almost certainly in store for you at the Eras shows at Levi’s Stadium — and to ensure you enjoy yourself as much as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing that becomes evident during the Eras concert is Swift’s penchant to mythologize herself, with references and clues — and she loves clues — weaved seamlessly into her performances. She is, you could say, like the Marvel Cinematic Universe in one person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some things you may see from fans, whose excitement will be dazzlingly infectious. (As \u003ca href=\"https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/look-what-taylor-made-us-do\">my favorite write-up of The Eras Tour, from \u003cem>The New Yorker\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, states, “Every person I spoke with at the show was the nicest person I’d ever met. The security guards, the hot dog salesmen, the bartenders, the audience. They were all so nice that I found myself manufacturing excuses for interaction … .”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A primer on the friendship bracelets\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You might have seen talk that friendship bracelets were banned from Levi’s Stadium, after a July 20 tweet from the Levi’s Stadium account that bracelets were \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LevisStadium/status/1682175302481453057?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1682175302481453057%7Ctwgr%5E798a98cfa7397e67f7655321f1bea3896af02a8a%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sfchronicle.com%2Fbayarea%2Farticle%2Ftaylor-swift-eras-tour-levis-stadium-tailgate-18253861.php\">“not permitted in the stadium.”\u003c/a> However, Levi’s Stadium appears to have reversed this position as of Friday morning, tweeting that \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LevisStadium/status/1682436231060389889?s=20\">friendship bracelets were permitted after all\u003c/a> — which the stadium’s spokesperson then confirmed in an email to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The backstory: Inspired by her song “You’re on Your Own Kid,” fans have been donning hand-made friendship bracelets with lyrics and deep cuts scribed on them — not just for wearing at home, but for bringing along to Swift’s shows. So at the Eras concert, you’ll likely be trading bracelets with other Swifties while you are waiting for the show to start or in the concessions line. Make as many as you are comfortable with, but a handful would be good so you have enough to give out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the bag policy at Levi’s Stadium, you’ll probably need to either wear your bracelets or put them in a clear bag (it can be a Ziploc, too).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Children’s bracelet kits are likely your more cost-effective way to make a bunch of bracelets.

There will be road closures on Tasman Drive on Friday morning, the 28th, and enforced through the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levi’s Stadium’s security information confirms that “Fans without event tickets will not be permitted to congregate in parking areas or on the streets,” and that stadium staff will be working closely with local police “ensure orderly access for ticketed fans, emergency vehicles, and to provide a safe environment for fans and event staff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/taylor-swift-eras-tour-levis-stadium-rules/3280510/\">Santa Clara Councilmember Kathy Watanabe told NBC Bay Area\u003c/a> and the\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/entertainment/article/taylor-swift-santa-clara-tailgate-18262219.php\">\u003cem> San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em>\u003c/a> that she believes the stadium doesn’t have control over public streets in the way, and that \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/newsdamian/status/1682516492192190465\">fans \u003cem>should\u003c/em> be able to tailgate outside Levi’s Stadium\u003c/a> to hear the music. But on Thursday morning, KQED’s email to Watanabe’s office requesting more information on what fans should do around tailgating was met with a reply stating that her office had “been asked to forward all requests to stadium management as the[y] are responsible for replying to questions like yours.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever you do, please remember: If you are drinking, please don’t get behind the wheel, and establish a designated sober driver instead. \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/26/us/taylor-swift-fan-died-car-crash-gofundme/index.html\">One fan tragically lost his life after the Eras concert in Houston\u003c/a> when he was struck by a drunk driver.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"taylorswifttickets\">\u003c/a>Can I still get a ticket for The Eras Tour at Levi’s Stadium?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Godspeed!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may try your luck on services like Facebook marketplace resales, Eventbrite, or even Ticketmaster itself. \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/taylor-swift-scams-concert-tickets-better-business-bureau/13474055/\">The Better Businesses Bureau issued a warning about resale scams\u003c/a>, with many people discovering after sending the money through apps like Venmo or Zelle that these “tickets” never existed.

But again — be careful. (Also good rule of thumb: Some tickets aren’t transferable until a week or so before the concert — meaning that you can’t transfer a ticket far ahead of time.)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What should I know about buying Eras merchandise in the stadium?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://store.taylorswift.com/collections/taylor-swift-the-eras-tour-collection\">You can check out all of The Eras Tour merch ahead of time.\u003c/a> There are pros and cons of getting the merch online vs. in person. Cons: If you buy online, shipping can take a while. If buying in person, you’ll be waiting in long lines. Pros: When you buy online, there is a 15%-off code, often with the city’s name included. In person, there are some exclusive to the concert, like the beloved blue crewneck.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"singleTwitterStatus","attributes":{"named":{"id":"1639341427401412609"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\n\u003cp>There will be several merchandise booths open in the stadium — and the lines will be mind-numbingly long, so expect wait times close to an hour. You will have a lot of downtime in the beginning of the concert, although you might be reluctant to miss HAIM’s opening set to go buy your merch. Not all of the booths will have all of the quarter-zips and sweaters you want, so make sure to check what’s on display before you get in line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/levisstadium/status/1684294010016342023?s=21&t=QuxV6WV363bDls3p8Z9G5Q\">a pop-up merchandise booth\u003c/a> open on Red Lot 1, Thursday, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday beginning at 2 p.m. Levi’s Stadium says it will not allow fans to start lining up before 8 a.m. There is limited parking, so the stadium’s post encourages fans to take public transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Levi’s Stadium’s Twitter account, show day merchandise sales will begin at 2:00 p.m. and will continue until the end of the show. Merchandise will be located in Red Lot 1 (and also inside the stadium.) However you can’t park in Red Lot 1 if you don’t have a ticket. Levi’s Stadium wrote that fans will not be allowed to line up earlier than 2:00 p.m. (\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/reel/CvNphh4rn3l/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\">If you brave the lines\u003c/a>, bring water.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may want to be careful when trying to wash your new merchandise, however. After many fan complaints of ink fading or bleeding after one wash, \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2023-04-04/taylor-swift-eras-tour-merch-faded-wash-statement\">Swift’s website released a care notice and called the T-shirt’s look “distressed, vintage”\u003c/a> — although in extreme cases, \u003ca href=\"https://store.taylorswift.com/pages/tour-collection-merchandise\">the Swift team say they’ll consider sending a replacement\u003c/a> if you bought it within 30 days. This has led to \u003ca href=\"https://www.scarymommy.com/lifestyle/how-wash-taylor-swift-merch#:~:text=After%20removing%20the%20parchment%20paper,you're%20still%20paranoid).\">many fans ironing on parchment paper on their T-shirts\u003c/a>, letting it cool before putting it in the washing machine inside out, alone, on delicate cold water to protect the ink.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"taylorswiftfriendshipbracelets\">\u003c/a>How to prepare for The Eras Tour — especially if you are not online\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Swift and her fans are incredibly online — and as a result, the in-jokes warp and evolve into Easter Eggs and Taylor-lore embedded in her songs, music videos, posts, and live performances. What follows is a quick rundown of some of the highlights of these new traditions at the concert that are almost certainly in store for you at the Eras shows at Levi’s Stadium — and to ensure you enjoy yourself as much as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing that becomes evident during the Eras concert is Swift’s penchant to mythologize herself, with references and clues — and she loves clues — weaved seamlessly into her performances. She is, you could say, like the Marvel Cinematic Universe in one person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some things you may see from fans, whose excitement will be dazzlingly infectious. (As \u003ca href=\"https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/look-what-taylor-made-us-do\">my favorite write-up of The Eras Tour, from \u003cem>The New Yorker\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, states, “Every person I spoke with at the show was the nicest person I’d ever met. The security guards, the hot dog salesmen, the bartenders, the audience. They were all so nice that I found myself manufacturing excuses for interaction … .”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A primer on the friendship bracelets\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You might have seen talk that friendship bracelets were banned from Levi’s Stadium, after a July 20 tweet from the Levi’s Stadium account that bracelets were \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LevisStadium/status/1682175302481453057?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1682175302481453057%7Ctwgr%5E798a98cfa7397e67f7655321f1bea3896af02a8a%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sfchronicle.com%2Fbayarea%2Farticle%2Ftaylor-swift-eras-tour-levis-stadium-tailgate-18253861.php\">“not permitted in the stadium.”\u003c/a> However, Levi’s Stadium appears to have reversed this position as of Friday morning, tweeting that \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LevisStadium/status/1682436231060389889?s=20\">friendship bracelets were permitted after all\u003c/a> — which the stadium’s spokesperson then confirmed in an email to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The backstory: Inspired by her song “You’re on Your Own Kid,” fans have been donning hand-made friendship bracelets with lyrics and deep cuts scribed on them — not just for wearing at home, but for bringing along to Swift’s shows. So at the Eras concert, you’ll likely be trading bracelets with other Swifties while you are waiting for the show to start or in the concessions line. Make as many as you are comfortable with, but a handful would be good so you have enough to give out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the bag policy at Levi’s Stadium, you’ll probably need to either wear your bracelets or put them in a clear bag (it can be a Ziploc, too).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Children’s bracelet kits are likely your more cost-effective way to make a bunch of bracelets. There’s also a pricier option on Fillmore Street in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights district called \u003ca href=\"https://www.littlewordsproject.com/\">Little Words Project\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11956136\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11956136\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/230719-TAYLOR-SWIFT-BRACELETS-NK-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"A composite image of four photos showing friendship bracelets of different colors.\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1266\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/230719-TAYLOR-SWIFT-BRACELETS-NK-KQED.jpg 1900w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/230719-TAYLOR-SWIFT-BRACELETS-NK-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/230719-TAYLOR-SWIFT-BRACELETS-NK-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/230719-TAYLOR-SWIFT-BRACELETS-NK-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/230719-TAYLOR-SWIFT-BRACELETS-NK-KQED-1536x1023.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bracelets Audience Engagement Reporter Nisa Khan made with her sister, Tajwar Mazhar, ahead of their concert day. \u003ccite>(Nisa Khan/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are some popular chants?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traditions have quickly grown during The Eras Tour, with fans yelling out lines that riff on her lyrics in a Rocky Horror Show-esque way.

Trump asserted that poor forest management was to blame and that the weather would get cooler. But Trump’s denial of climate change is at odds with public opinion. According to the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, more than 70% of Americans believe that climate change is happening, and nearly 60% believe that it is mostly due to human activities. Meanwhile, California remains a leader on fighting greenhouse gas emissions, with more than 30% of its energy coming from renewables like solar and wind, a figure that is mandated to double in a decade.
