The only fans that have braved the sun at Levis in it's history are for the visiting teams....

Of course. Those fans have something to entertain them. Makes sense.

Like I said -- the fans will find the courage to brave the sun once this roster gives them a reason to.

Watch s**tty football in the heat, or watch s**tty football from a shaded area? The fans owe this team nothing. Sell outs are earned.

All our failures to exceed, and prosper are unfortunately intertwined within the debauchery of our past success. Thus is life.

The Yorks could have kept the plan for a new stadium and mall alive but chose to kill it because it was too great of a capital investment in their minds. Eddie was all in and San Francisco was on board with voter approval.
It is the York's fault.

Some revisionist history there.

That plan fell apart partly because the initial cost estimates to build a new stadium on that land were way under estimated.

stop making s**t up. you have been explained idk how many times on this. Why can't you just learn from that instead of ignoring it

SF has voted against it since the early 90s. The 94 SB was actually supposed to be played in SF in the new stadium. but got bumped to SD since we couldn't get one built. Yorks took over in 2000


Easy there, measures D and F both passed.

It seems as if I am not the one making things up.

And yet somehow in the time since the Giants and the Warriors have gotten stadiums built in the city proper...Yorks just didn't want to come to SF because they live in the peninsula.

"June 05, 1997|By Mark Shapiro.

SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco 49ers' threats about leaving town are gone in the thrill of victory.
After pulling out a heart-stopping election-day victory in a drive for a new stadium, the team hurried to renew its vows to the city and looked ahead to building its dream home."

Of course we all know what happened in 97'
what does your post prove?
It disproves this statement:

The ticket prices are just overpriced now. The niners decided to sell to all the techies that have money to burn. When you have money to burn then you have money to not care about using the tickets and going to games.

What percentage of events in Levi's Stadium are NFL games? Like, 10%?

Don't know what motivation the Yorks have to fix the sun issue for events that comprise a distinct minority in that stadium. They already got the PSL money for NFL games. Plus they get crazy TV money.

Why would the Yorks save fans from their own s**t decision making? "Sorry you bought $20k worth of PSLs without thinking it through...here's a $400M canopy." This is a business, that's not how it works.

Why would the Yorks care about empty seats if they get all the money regardless? Because some internet trolls made insulting memes about them?

If fans really want to hurt the Yorks they'll hurt them in the pocket book. Only way to do that is not re-new your tickets and never watch the Niners on TV. Those fans willing to do that?

oh does it , is that why that stadium approval was busted for fraud ?

Eddie trying to rig the votes since SF didn't want a stadium. Like i said, you been been handed all the facts already

leave SF? CHECK. run team into the mud and chase out successful coach/atmosphere? CHECK. overcharge for s**tty product? CHECK. build a stadium in the sun with no canopy to keep fans from melting to their seats? CHECK. its not too hard to figure out why the stadium is empty and will continue to be empty until we dont suck. these are some of the glaring reasons, im sure you can think of some more too.

This is not the mindset of an unconditional fanbase that cares and wants to make a difference.
