What an unbelievable night at the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium! Yesterday, 68,827 fans witnessed the USMNT battle past Bosnia and Herzegovina with a thrilling 2-0 victory to secure a spot in the Round of 16. 🇺🇸⚽️ And while the stadium was buzzing inside, our team & volunteers was making magic happen outside at Gate C!

With yesterday’s epic match, SVBC has officially parked over 1,500 bikes across the World Cup games! From our first matchday kickoff to the final whistle yesterday, Bay Area fans proved why this is the ultimate World Cup stadium to bike to.

THANK YOU for choosing two wheels! You bypassed the gridlock, skipped the parking fees, and helped make this tournament the greenest one yet.
