Super Bowl 50 is in less than two weeks, and one can already see significant impacts here in San Francisco.

Traffic is gridlocked downtown by a series of road closures (which will be in force through February 12^th) as they build Super Bowl City, a giant promotional complex for the game at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara – which is nearly 50 miles away. And hotel prices are climbing rapidly – to the point where a three star downtown hotel will likely start at $300 a night for Super Bowl 50 weekend.
