what the state could be doing, next. around the water front and at&t park, we have low clouds and drizzle for you this morning. but some spots in the bay area today making a run at 90 degrees. look at the summer like changes in your forecast, coming up. others making a run at the weekend. so we're hoping for a lighter friday flow. we'll track that traffic though. this is already starting to build. let's take a peek outside, oh, what a lovely start to our friday morning. august 15th. this is "today in the bay." from nbc bay area, this is "today in the bay." and a very good morning to you, thanks for joining us, i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> and i'm kris sanchez. it is going to be a big weekend for the 49ers. >> i would say. they're looking to win their first ever home game at levi stadium. >> bay area transit agencies have a new game plan to deal with the large crowds. its been kind of a mess there so far. >> let's check in with "today in the bay's" bob redell. he joins us live this morning.

they're promising to learn from the first event. that happened a couple of weeks ago. >> reporter: that's what they say they've done, but keep in mind, a couple of weeks ago when the earthquakes opened up levi stadium here, there were only 48,000 fans. come this sunday, when the 49ers have their preseason opener against the broncos at 1:00, they're expecting a sellout crowd of 70,000 fans. you're looking at 22,000 extra people coming in. not only are the people running the show trying to learn from the last game, they're also having to deal with a lot more people. so traffic wise, what the city will be doing is open more lanes on major routes into the stadium. the engineers have tweaked the traffic signals. they have more policemaning the intersections that caused the biggest asks two weekends ago and more portable signs. the parking lots, more lots available including the massive great america lot which wasn't open the last time around. now one thing the team would like fans to do, follow the

customized directions to your parking spot. apparently many people ignored those the last time around. then you have the valley transit authority. the vta. you might recall after the quake's game, there were waits of an hour, if not longer to get on the trains. vta's aware of that. what they have done is they have going to be adding an extra express bus line so they'll have six instead of five this sunday. they'll also be running extrab trains and will have buses running in parallel with the train routes to the stadium. again to hopefully the idea is to avoid the havocs that fans had when the earthquakes played two weekends ago. the city, the police, the vta and the team have met since two weeks ago and they say they are hoping that what they have come together, what they have tweaked will make it much more

palletable. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." ♪ how's that for a fitting way to shut down the stick? sir paul mccartney performing some of the same songs he did nearly 50 years ago in the same spot. candlestick park was the site of the last beatles concert in 1966. and last night, thousands of people returned to the stick to relive that nostalgia and sir paul did not disappoint. >> how was it? >> incredible. >> he surpassed our expectations, really, really good. >> the concert got rave reviews, traffic was a different story. some people said they were stuck in traffic for three hours or more just trying to get a parking spot. starting to listen to the concert in the car. >> yeah, that was a tough one. >> check out nbcbayarea.com for a slide show of the more important moments at candlestick as well. so many memories made over the years. we'd love to see your photos and

or maybe the calls for an end to the violence from the governor and president obama. whatever the case, things are much different here right now. for the first time this week, ferguson was calm overnight. calm. but by no means quiet. hundreds of protesters still spilled out into the streets. and police still stood guard, but this time, it was a march. not the melee that played out the four nights before. >> there is aen different feel -- a different feel. there's not as much tension, afl great positive force that's in the air. there's a lot of hope here. >> reporter: hope it seems for the first time since michael brown was shot and killed during a confrontation with police. the gas mask and riot gear now gone and state troopers walking with angry residents in a show of unity. >> i was extremely excited.

candlestick with that side of the story. we've been hearing from laura, nannette, and folks were really frustrated. >> reporter: oh, very frustrated. many would say that the final event here public ooecht here at candlestick was spoimed by the crazy traffic -- spoiled by the crazy traffic and muni issues. imagine paying hundreds of dollars to see him only to be stuck in long lines. long after the concert started, cars were still backed up for miles trying to get in. you had concert traffic mixed in the with the regular commute traffic. it's easy to see how people misjudge. at least with the 49 game, most are on weekend and fans don't come all in at once. some tailgate and the crowd is in a somewhat metering flow, not last night. the crush happened at once, and leaving the concert was just as messy. >> it is insane, i've been in this crud for over two hours. right here at candlestick.

>> reporter: i looked at the twitter feed for the concert, and i see that people were given a bit of a reprieve with the show starting at least an hour late. others had to abandon cars in a nearby neighborhood and walk the rest of the way. but this is a once in a lifetime event, i heard it was spectacular. so i would doubt that anybody left here disappointed. live at candlestick, nannette miranda for taik. >> once you were in there through a traffic, everything was good. it was worth it. mccartney and the beatles performed their last concert ever together at candlestick park back in 1966. it was one of many memorable events since the venue built for the giants opened in 1960. it was also birthplace of the 49ers dynasty. in the corner of an end zone in january of 1982, dwight clark, yep, he leaped into the air to snag that joe montana pass. touch dwoun less than a minute
