No it wouldn't make sense...but I've driven from the Meadowlands to the Bronx (NY City Borough) and they're NOT close.
We know team names don't have to make sense...
LA Lakers (show me the lakes in LA)
Utah Jazz (Mormans are not big jazz fans)
Seattle Seahawks (not even a real bird!)
Tampa Bay Devil Rays (what, did Dr. Suess name the team?)

True but San Fran and LA, is like having a team in Orlando and calling them Miami

Or having a team in Anaheim (state capital, no small city) and calling them Los Angeles. The stupid precedent has been set and we know that the Californians like to do stupid things with naming their teams.
Mighty Ducks of Anaheim
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
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.
It would be a really bad PR move to do that. The 49ers are one of their most popular franchises and York has basically stated under no circumstances would the team change the name.

Speaking of San Fran, thoughts and prayers with Bill Walsh as he battles leukemia
