Stadium are underway for the first ever ticketed game at the stadium. And you can see the players are on the field here, but as you mentioned, these are not football players, not the 49ers, these are soccer players, with the san jose earthquakes, as they prepare for tomorrows game when they take on the seattle sounders. Along with practice, plenty of lastminute preps are underway and reps with the earthquakes expect a sellout, around 40,000 tickets sold, which was the cap. But not the stadiums capacity, which is at about 60,000. Reps with the team also say they are excited, but urging everyone to get here with plenty of time. The stadium is impressive. You know, if im a fan getting here this weekend, obviously, theres traffic going to any event, so if im coming to this game, im getting here early. Im going to walk into that stadium a couple of hours before, take a look at what the niners have to offer, all the concession stands, take some pictures is and really enjoy this experience. And of course, it is really crazy to think about. They broke ground here about two years ago and now the stadium is here. These players, i spoke to a couple of them as they walked out on to the field, very excited for tomorrows game, and all of this culminating with a game with the 49ers. Thats coming up on august 17th, but really an exciting time out here, guys, and we are expecting tons of fans to come out and, of course, root for the earthquakes. Thats the latest here in santa clara. Im derek shore, nbc bay area news. Thanks, derek. Make sure you take lots of selfies tout there. Yeah, just walking out on to that is awesome. Bring back a couple of blades of grass. Being in the heart of silicon valley, you would expect the new stadium to be tricked out with technology. The stadium does offer hundreds of wifi access points. Fans can use a Smartphone App to order food straight from their seats, anywhere in the stadium, and there are 1,700 beacons. This is cool. It knows where you are, because it knows where where are cell phone is. So it can give you directions to your seat or the nearest bathroom or the concession stand. Thats all for when you get there, but how do you get there . For that part of the story, we turn to mike inouye. Mike, give us a shortcut. Were trying to. Ill give you the best way, the best for all, the needs of the many outweigh just your needs. We all know yours are very important. Take mass transit, public transit. You can take caltrain to the Mountain View station and hop on vta. Theres a vta station steps away from the stadium, but if you really want to drive, take a look at this. There are four parking areas, each labeled with its own color on its map. You see them there. And within those areas are parking lots labeled with numbers. They do this to disperse the traffic flow. Well talk about that in a second. Thats different than candlestick park, where you had to basically exit off of 101, the same long roadway all the way to that big parking lot. Most people would be in the red parking lots you see here on the maps. Theres option 237, and Great America parkway, a very popular route. 880, take 237 west, and from 101, take 237 east. The exit at Great America parkway, south, down, follow those signs in towards tasmin. There are also other lots. Vip and special access which are green and yellow. Lets skip over to the blue, where i hope i get invited to the rv parking. From 880, take 237 west to lawrence expressway. Thats a little farther west. Take that south. From 101, you take lawrence expressway north. Over to tasmin drive and follow those signs. Theyre routing folks a little bit farther away from the stadium, but theyre hoping that keeps the traffic flow from interfering with the folks heading to the red lots and most of the passenger vehicles. Theyve done big studies and do help that helps. Avoid what your nav says and go with what the app says from levi stadium or with the back of your parking ticket says. Because that will be the best route for everyone involved. Back to you. Im just going to be a backseat driver. What, starting now . Yes 49ers will now play their first game at levi until august 17th. Thats against denver at 1 00. And then the first regular season game next month, september 14th. We are talking southern united football here against the bears.

Nbcbayarea. Com. And turning now to your microclimate forecast, as we give you a live look at san jose, not far from the stadium. Christina loren, opening day should be more comfortable than today, which you have said, is going to be the hottest of the next seven days, right . That is so you know what, thanks to listening to me, first and foremost, but youre right on point. Temperatures right now are already reflecting that heat out in livermore, at 87 degrees. Meanwhile, 78 degrees in concord. So whats the deal here . Well, its that ocean influence. Its getting cut off before the trivalley. And thats why its so hot out there in livermore right now. Were still at 57 degrees. Meanwhile, in half moon bay, i want to show you some really cool shots. After all, you know weve got all your microclimates covered. A lot of live action to show you right now. Taking a live look, tiburon. Mostly cloudy there over the golden gate bridge, but the bay bridge is completely sunny. This is actually coming to you from our at t park camera, pointing out toward that bridge. But on the ocean side, a lot of foot traffic on the golden gate, but a lot of fog as well. This is the only place youre going to find that fog at this point. And it is burning off quickly. Now, it is a spare the air day. Ive got to point that out right off the bat. East bay, south bay, thats where were getting the worst pollution levels. And at this hour, temperatures are still pretty mild. This is where were headed. 90 degrees in the south bay. The peninsula is at 82 degrees. These temperatures really arent that pad. Its the places where you dont get that marine influence where it is going to be dangerously hot. But like i said, not going to last forever. Your full forecast coming up in just a few minutes. A lot going on here this weekend and well take you through the forecast. Back to you for now, scott and kris. New details about a computer Server Program that caused delays this morning at mineta san jose international. It made doors and alarms inoperable. The server prevented crews from Opening Doors with a key kard, so they had to come up a workaround 30 minutes later. Sjc says the airline should straighten themselves out bip this afternoon. Meanwhile, the coast is clear at the dublin b. A. R. T. Station. A suspicious package shut it down for three hours this morning. The bob squad came in and blew it up. Thats standard procedure. The station opened just a couple of minutes ago. At this point, its not entirely clear what was in that package. Just one of the reasons why it was such a rough morning for many people commuting around the bay area, particularly in San Francisco today, muni riders had to reroute in two areas after a power outage, then a fallen tree that took out some lines separately. Nbc bay areas Stephanie Chuang is live in the city. Steph, these two problems happened miles apart, but it turns out almost the same kind of repair, coincidentally. Reporter yeah, thats right. Good morning to you, kris. Where the tree fell in the northeast neighborhood, we just understand now that the streets may still be closed off there. So quite an impact. But the same muni crews had quite a long morning, starting at midnight, when the first problem happened here. A power outage at the junction, which led to many frustrated riders and it didnt stop here for munis problems this morning. Just an hour or two later, and the impacts of this fallen tree in the northeast neighborhood may have been a lot bigger. Thankfully, it fell on columbus street at 5 30 in the morning. No car beneath it, no people around. It did, however, take down part of the muni line. They cut off the power before the Citys Department of public works crew chopped the tree up to take it away. Than began the work to get that muni line back up. You can see theyre working as fast as they can to get this done as soon as possible. It was the same crew that worked to repair the major problem that plagued muni this morning. A pent graph, similar to what you see on this muni bus, failed to work, causing a power outage at the debose junction. It kept trains from going past the Church Street station and forced those headed inbound to downtown to run aboveground to catch shuttles. Frustrating especially those whose work involves the stock market. For them, only 15 minutes can cause a huge setback. You know, every minute that its late, its pushing that farther behind to get ready for the opening. The markets quite active right now. The sfmta says the good news is, they were able to get everything back up before the meat of the morning commute, but does apologize for all the delays that did happen. Meantime, it is looking into a cause the equipment failure that led to the power outage here at the junction, but says it doesnt happen often, the last time was well over a year ago. Stephanie chuang, nbc bay area news. Thanks, steph. New developments in the middle east this morning.

Cal transis facing Harsh Criticism over the new eastern span of the bay bridge. This is a live look at the bridge. The building of this span is subject of a blistering new senate report, following highly publicized construction flaws and delays. The report outlines a pattern of mismanagement and failures in the way problems were reported and tracked. Specifically, it accuses senior officials of brushing off criticisms of materials and procedures. Cal transofficial Malcolm Dougherty responded in part saying, this report rehashes issues that have been investigated, reviewed, and in many cases resolved. Lawyers say it could be another year before a discrimination lawsuit filed by b. A. R. T. Reaches a courtroom. Seven africanamerican men who work in b. A. R. T. s tracks Department Filed the lawsuit in december, claiming they have been dealing with racism at the workplace for years. The men report things from being passed over for promotion and having threats and racist remarks scrawled on their lockers to actual assault. And they say management did not properly respond to their complaints. The first manager approached and told me he was too busy. Soy went to the next manager, and he was very slow reactive of handling the situation. We are in 2014 and it is unspeakable to have to deal with this. Yesterday, b. A. R.

Members of an East Palo Alto church say they have been robbed by the last person they expected, their pastor. And now they are suing him. Members at the born again Christian Center say they allowed pastor andre harris and his wife seen here in the picture from the churchs website to live in a churchowned home rent free since early 2000, but pastor harris abruptly announced his resignation and then put the house and church up for sale. When they pulled the deed, they discovered the properties had been transferred into harris name. Members say he did this by appoinng his own family members to the churchs board of trustees. It dwindled down to just his family being on the trustee board, which he knew wasnt right. The house was recently sold for just under 400,000. Church members are now suing to have that sale rescinded and to prevent the Church Building from being sold. A homeowner in Southern California caught a stray cat prowling his yard, a really big cat. Take a look at this surveillance video. That is a lion walking through the residential neighborhood about 15 miles south of l. A. The homeowner says or reported it as a mountain lion, but on closer examination, it appears to have some kind of mane like a lion, lion. The lion was not captured. City officials are telling residents, you might want to be on the lookout for it. Yeah santa cruz Officials Say it will take days to clean up a ton of anchovies that turned up dead in the harbor. A huge school of fish swam into the harbor wednesday night and there wasnt enough oxygen in the water to keep them all alive. Harbor officials closed the boat launch ramp to clean up the fish yesterday. Now, not only does it stink, but the chemicals left behind are not good for boats. Harbor workers say this is the worst fish kill theyve seen since the 80s. We usually think of river otters as cute, playful little animals, but an otter in Washington State did not take kindly to human contact. The otter attacked an 8yearold boy and his grandmother at a popular beach. The boys mother says she heard screams, then saw the otter attacking his face. She rushed to pull her son and her mom to safety. It followed us all the way up the river. It was biting her as i was dragging her, as her legs were dragging in the river. Both the boy and his grandmother are expected to be okay. Fish and wildlife set up a trap to catch the river otter, see what is going on there, but they have not been successful in catching it yet.

You just going to leave me hanging . Good morning to you just moving in this heat is a little bit difficult. 59 in half moon bay. 67, San Francisco. 75, san jose. To be honest, i needed this little magical friend of mine. We call it the clicker, but it does all the dirty work for me out here. Its definitely important. Coastal fog, warm everything else. This is what were working with for today. Hottest day of the week. But even when we talk about the hottest day of the week, were talking about triple digits and low 100s at that. Last summer, we are sparing the air. We had a heavy stray on the power grip for the entire state of california. Overall, this summer hasnt been that bad. This is going to be the peak of it. And were taking your temperatures down just a touch for the weekend. 90 in the south bay area. 82 for the peninsula if east shore is at 81. East bay valleys, meanwhile, at 101. 66 degrees for San Francisco and 89 degrees, sizzling conditions out there in the north bay. So, if you want to beat the heat, you may want to head out of town. If you are going to head up to wine country, good conditions on saturday and sunday. A little hot out there today, close to 100 degrees. Looking good for the 17mile drive. Temperatures in the low 80s here. And were also looking really good for the boardwalk, upper 80s. In the water, youre still at 63 degrees in santa cruz. So let me give you a little preview of where were headed. Mid80s, all the way from sunday through tuesday in the south bay.

The drought could change the taste of your favorite beer. Well explain why, coming up next. The usc announced new rules for poultry inspections, the first changes in more than 50 years.

Dionne warwick is finding her way back to the city that inspired that grammy awardwinning tune. Do you know the way to san jose ive been away so long warwick will be back tonight to sing her biggest hit at the center for the performs arts in san jose. She recorded it in the 1986. One of the songs writers had fond memories of san jose while serving during the Second World War and her song became an international hit. Warwick says she, quote, cried her way all the way to the bank. Breweries around the bay area are waiting to hear if Water Company restrictions will impose further restrictions that could change the taste of your favorite brewski. Dan gordon is the cofounder of gordon beers and he says the lack of water can tweak the taste. His brewery uses 2. 5 gallons of water to make 1 gallon of beer. Many breweries use 4 to 7 for the same amount. But if Water Companies impose mandatory restrictions, production could drop. If we were put into a position where we had to go into a 20 restriction on the water usage, i have no idea how we would be able to cope with that. The concern is statewide, the California Craft Brewers Association says the drought extends another two or three years, prices would jump. My favorite beer is mexican beer, lucky for me.
