Ed Sheeran at Levi’s Stadium will be bigger than Taylor Swift, Beyonce The buzz surrounding this weekend’s Ed Sheeran concert at Levi’s Stadium has been decidedly smaller than when summer concert queens Taylor Swift and Beyonce came to the venue.The crowd, however, will be substantially larger.In fact, it might wind up being the biggest concert crowd the venue has ever seen.Yes, you read that right. Two of America’s biggest popular music stars in history are about to be out-sold by an unassuming British folk-pop singer who more closely resembles Alfred E.

(Both Swift and Beyonce broke the stadium’s nighttime curfew, which has been a source of controversy at the stadium for...

Is the San Jose Sports Hall of Fame’s 2023 class the best ever? Here are two reasons why SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sports Hall of Fame’s Class of 2023, with Lorrie Fair, Patrick Marleau, Dave Stieb, and Chris Wondolowski distinguishes itself from prior classes in one unique way: those responsible for electing members to the hall tweaked their rules to accommodate two of the inductees.Marleau and Wondolowski were thought to be so synonymous with the city that the San Jose Sports Authority’s board of directors adjusted their bylaws to get both into the hall this year.Normally, individuals must be retired for at least five years or be over the age of 50 before they can be eligible for consideration. But those guidelines were waived for the 44-year-old Marleau, who played 21 seasons for the Sharks, and the 40-year-old Wondolowski, who played 13-plus seasons with the Earthquakes before he retired in 2021. Marleau officially retired last year.“To me. there’s three individuals whose DNA is San Jose, and that’s Patrick Marleau, Chris Wondolowski, and Kerri Walsh,” sai...
