49ers
"SPEAK OUT AGAINST S.B. 49
Recently, a bill was introduced in the California state legislature designed to prohibit the team from partnering with a Bay Area city other than San Francisco to build a new stadium. The bill, entitled S.B. 49, would essentially create a “no-49ers-stadium zone” throughout the region and make it virtually impossible for the team to stay in the Bay Area. " (courtesy http://www.supportourniners.com/speak_out_sb49.php)
This bill was passed by the california state legislature about stopping the San Francisco 49ers to re-locate to the Santa Clara Area. This bill would force the 49ers to stay in San Francisco and not to leave. This bill has outraged a few of the 49er faithful around the bay area. Most of the faithful support the 49ers moving to Santa Clara even though the driving time would be alot longer most of all of them would travel the distance to go to the games. This bill was passed because of what i think that the city of San Francisco doesnt want the 49ers to leave the area near hunters point. Also this would enclude a decreace in the local economy. Probally thats why they do not want them to go. Also personally i think it is Mayor Newsom's fault for letting the 49ers go beacsue way before he came into office former SF Mayor Willie Brown knew of this possibility of the 49ers moving away and for Newsom to take immediate action to prevent the 49ers from leaving. Newsom took no action what so ever in tring to attempt to keep the 49ers in Monster Park. He only decided to take action when it was too late and now the state is tring to prevent the relocation of the SF 49ers.
I think that yes the 49ers should move away from SF becasue if the 49ers do remodel Monster Park and put a mall over there it would create more problems with all the parking and such. Many fans that i know from my uncle talked all the time about the ideas about remodeling "Candlestick". No one liked the idea of a parking garage because well it wouldn't be to much fun to tailgate anymore. My uncle being a Season ticket holder for about 15 years now told me that the 49ers should move away becasue it gets really cold at Monster Park at night and in Santa Clara it would be a bit warmer and really virtually no FOG! This bill should be stopped becasue if it isnt we lose the 49ers and they wont be in our state anymore.
