SANTA CLARA- The San Francisco 49ers have been accused of leaving out minority-owned firms when they issued big contracts to build Levi’s Stadium a little over a year ago. The contracts that the 49ers gave out were for the construction of the new $1.2 billion stadium.

Since this has been observed, the 49ers are now changing the way that they are doing business. There are now a lot more minority firms that have been hired and are playing roles in building the gorgeous facility. According to the teams top contractors, the minority firms will also be even more involved when the doors open for the facility on August 2, 2014. 

There are some critics that are happy with how the 49ers handled the situation and are pleased that there are now minorities on the project. However, there are also many critics that are believe that the team will not be able to make up for fact that they did not do the right thing until the facility was two-thirds built.

The 49ers are committed to their new way of business and ensure that a situation like this will not happen again.
