Nah, sell tickets and merchandise and get a new stadium -- San Fran does both of those.
For these owners, winning means jack shit when it comes to stadium negotiations. What talks is the money that a stadium pulls in to the city and local economy. Im shocked san fran didnt work harder to keep them.

As long as it stays "San Fransisco 49ers" I dont care in the slightest.

kinda silly, but we all saw the DC council refuse JKC when he offered to pay the full stadium costs, so i'm not totally surprised to hear about something like this.
If san fran was the dominate team they once were this wouldnt even be an issue...they would get their stadium without a doubt...want a new stadium then win games
If winning games has so much to do with getting a new stadium then how did the freaking Cardinals get a new one? I would rethink that hypothesis if I were you...

he is just saying you should earn your stadium by being a good team, which the 49ers aren't. but i have little room to talk since our defense is worse than the 49ers d

Just because their team sucks shouldn't mean they have to sit in a crappy stadium, they still paid to watch the games and support the team.

would'nt it also be in the best interest in the leagues for the 49ers to get a new stadium?i think it would.every fan that pays300
dollars to take his wife and kids to the game,deserves a nice stadium to see his team play in good or bad.

I wonder if the NFL will try to get them to adopt the name "Los Angeles 49ers" since they technically won't be in SF anymore. The NFL is pathetically desperate to have an LA team.

Wouldn't make sense. They're still in the SF Bay Area even if they move to Santa Clara. I think the NFL just likes to use LA as leverage for other cities to build new stadium more than they want a team in LA.
