The Golden Gate Bridge took a little over 3 years to build, from January 1934 to April 1937 and was then opened in May 1937. Measuring 4200 ft between the two towers, it was the longest main span suspension bridge in the world at that time and held that record until 1964, but still is the 2nd longest suspension bridge in the United States. 

This coming weekend (February 7, 2016) the Denver Broncos take on the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50, which will be played at the new San Francisco 49'ers home in Levi's Stadium located in Santa Clara, California. Kickoff is slated for 6:30 p.m. on CBS.

 The Official Super Bowl 50 Media Guide,  claims that it will be "the biggest Super Bowl the NFL has ever celebrated,.." and will be "big: load, proud, inclusive and authentic, just like the Bay Area itself."1
