First I've heard of this....

I hope they don't move, that team has so much tradition it would be a shame for it to leave. Damn, move arizona or houston before san fran. I understand it is over money but still its just wrong. Think of all the great players, (Rice, Montana, Young) three of the best to play the game and you want to move the team. This is like moving the cowboys to san antonio, its just wrong.

Interesting, yesterday the A's annouce they are going to move to Fremont on the border with San Jose and now the 49er's are thinking about the same thing. I imagine it is just a negotiating ploy though.

While I agree with everyone in saying that it would be a shame moving one of the most storied franchises in the history of the sport i can't help but I agree with you here, "better them then us", that way those MOD EDIT: No Veiled Profanity will have there little NFL franchise and won't try to steal ours....I actually some guy from LA talking about they want 2 teams!!! they don't even have one yet...

Eye Opening Sports news (49ers About to move out of SF)

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- The San Francisco 49ers ended negotiations with the city about building a new stadium and plan to move to either Santa Clara or somewhere else in California, The Associated Press learned Wednesday night.

Owner John York notified Mayor Gavin Newsom of the team's decision earlier Wednesday, a city official close to the negotiations told The AP on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made.

Wow, the 49ers of all teams. That'd be akin to the Cowgirls moving down to Waco. Never thought I'd see the 49ers in this conversation.

 

[Kramer26]

wow, that almost sounds like a done deal

 

[hardhead233]

I've talked to a friend of mine who lives in the Oakland area and he's said there quite a bit of talk all the time of them(Oakland) moving somewhere.....

 

[Abita Bengal]

if they're located in the suburbs they can still use the san fran name i believe.
