What you’re seeing is Levi’s Stadium’s programmable LED field lighting, which they often use when the stadium isn’t hosting a game.

The pink color specifically is most commonly used for breast cancer awareness (Susan G. Komen / Breast Cancer Awareness Month), and Levi’s has lit the field and exterior pink many times for that reason. Even outside October, the stadium will sometimes keep preset awareness or “show” lighting running at night.

A couple of additional details that fit what you photographed:
* The lighting is inside the bowl, not game lights, so it can run late at night without an event.
* The bright blocks you see are the field-level LEDs arranged in patterns or letters—they often spell short messages (“HI,” “SF,” “49,” etc.) depending on the preset.
* Concerts or private events can also trigger pink lighting, but those usually involve exterior facade lighting as well; your image looks like a standard awareness/display preset.

So the short answer: it’s decorative/awareness lighting, most likely breast cancer awareness, not a game or emergency signal.

Pretty great aerial catch, by the way—Levi’s looks especially dramatic from above at night.
