The graphic shows a soccer field in the background with trees and goal posts. Eight wifi icons in hot pink neon are spread out. At the top, there is a green banner with a speakerphone and a yellow wifi icon with the text that says 'We just upgraded #SFWiFi at Crocker Amazon Soccer Fields!'. On the bottom center is another banner with various icons of a palm tree, a beach ball, a suitcase, and a sign that reads Free WiFi. The banner with a white background reads "Just in time for Spring Break". Next to the banner, in the right corner, is the logo for the SF Department of Technology with the hashtag #SFWiFi below the logo, encased in a white square.
