February 2026 Edition
A football game is more than just a game—it’s a data powerhouse.
Think the action is only on the field? There’s a whole world of tech behind the scenes, ensuring every play, stat, and roar reaches 380M+ fans instantly. From 4K replays to LED displays, data is working overtime to connect fans worldwide with seamless, secure, unforgettable experiences.
In this Super Bowl episode of The STEMINISTS, Phoebe and Mekka talk with Michelle Rosar of the San Francisco 49ers, who says “NetApp is the heartbeat of the 49’ers asset ecosystem.”
As the 49ers prepare to host massive events like the Super Bowl and World Cup, Michelle shares how they’ve upgraded their infrastructure to handle the pressure. From solving storage challenges to improving the fan experience, we dive into the data that keeps Levi's® Stadium running smoothly.
Inside the playbook:
- The 4K Challenge: Managing huge video files without system crashes.
- Scaling Up: Why an outdated storage infrastructure was holding them back, but no more!
- The Fan Experience: How tech shapes game day for fans.
