Game 3: Evening and Morning After

Also, I just added to the mix with a Flickr Homepage, for higher resolution images of some of the choice images of the bay, the stadium, the wildlife, and the trash.

49ers home season game three took place on Sunday, October 5th, against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Curious to see how things went in the evening hours after a game, I headed over to take some pictures.

The facility looked pretty immaculate, but the morning after revealed some trash still made it to the creek. Much better than the first game, but worse than the second game.

 Here are a number of people cleaning up the parking lots around the stadium.

This is the view of the creek sandwiched between the stadium and the parking lots. From this distance, everything looked really clean. All those orange things to the left of the creek are trash bins, many trash bins.

This is viewing east from the north side of the stadium. Tasman was closed still with many street sweepers running up and down the closed off areas.

A handful of people were still chatting and hanging out by the stadium along with a small number of traffic personnel.

The following morning, the northern end of the creek looks pretty clean. I wonder if it's because it's a straight shot, so nothing stays on this stretch of creek with the ebb and flow of the tide.

A great blue heron seems to reside under the SAP Tower bridge. Unfortunately, a beer bottle and Silicon Valley run-off from that one day of rain surrounds him.

 Someone couldn't hold onto their Bag Check Tag during the event.

Here is the litter from the game day, having blown a bit further upstream toward the Hetch-Hetchy pipes. Much of the litter was nice clear plastic bags that I'm guessing were bags containing event material.

Here is some of that Silicon-Valley run-off that hasn't floated into the bay, yet. There are at least a dozen spray paint cans just in this pile alone.

Here is the repair of the hill below the flood control pipes, replacing a hill of concrete sand bags with a hill of solid concrete and large rocks.

Danger: Ducks and Spray Paint Cans.

Here is a malt liquor bottle (King Cobra brand) south of Agnew, but seemingly event related like last weeks malt liquor bottle south of Agnew.

That concludes game three for the San Tomas Aquino Creek.

I'm still doing some homework to figure out specifically how Santa Clara County and City rank with regard to environmental compliance and what tools they have at their disposal to combat this.

Levi's Stadium: the creek looks much better than the first game, but there is still quite a bit of game related trash that could be picked up.
