We're headed in the right direction on the field (Dr. York's hiring of Mike Nolan was spot on) and the organization is on the right track. My sense is that the stadium that will provide the best gameday experience and give us the best chance of winning games will be in Santa Clara. I'm looking forward to the team's presentation to Santa Clara officials this winter.

It's not gonna happen in San Francisco. If it was, it would have been done by now. It's time to move to Santa Clara. The only reason these political figures are involved is because their panties got in a wad when they thought of not having the Olympics in San Francisco. They're more worried about the Olympics than they are of the 49ers. If they were worried about the niners staying here, they would have built a stadium long ago. "Now with no 49ers, there comes no stadium. Now no Olympics. WHAT MUST WE DO?!?!?!" You can't pin this one one man who's doing what he sees best for HIS team. It's not York's fault he wants what's best for the team. York didn't move the 49ers out of San Francisco, San Francisco moved the niners out. It just makes me think, with the Olympics not involved at all from the beginning, I wonder how much longer this city would have let the niners play in worst stadium in all of football, Candlestick. My guess is probably forever. So York's doing the right decision. I haven't said that much since he took over the team, but he's finally doing something right.

I moved to San Diego last year and I am a little mad that I am not suppose to be a niner fan DiFi. I am sure as hell not going to become a charger fan. (baby blue uniforms, how soft is that!?) I would love to see the new stadium stay in SF, southbay you can have the A's but you still have to come to SF to see the niners! For now, let's focuse all this energy on taking down the seattle seahawks and Mike Holmgren! We need this game, B.MOORE were you at! Nice Vin!

And if I lived in SF, I'd be PO'd too. I've been a 49er fan since the 70s. I have no problem with the Niners staying in SF. Alot of Baseball and Football owners want new stadiums! Hey? There's even a new stadium planned for the Yankees! I also understand, saying York might move the 49ers to Santa Clara could be a ploy. The SF Giants tried the same ploy. Santa Clara is probably one of the few cities around that manages it's money well, and can afford (or help pay) to build there. I've lived in either San Jose (Home of the Sharks) or Los Gatos, and now Monterey since 68. I was also a Raider fan until they deserted us for L.A. I don't want the Niners leaving the bay area. So Santa Clara is fine with me. I have a huge sports room at my house filled with Niner stuff. And I'd be devistated if they left. I also crave the days before salary cap when players stayed on the same team for years! But it just doesn't happen that way anymore. Weather they stay in SF or go to Santa Clara. I'm fine with either. And because I LOVE the Forty Niner tradition, I want the name to remain! As long as money greedy York doesn't leave the area..... gmoney, I agree with a lot of what you said.

Having the 49ers in one of the largest cities in the United States would make the 49ers the most lucrative team in all of sports with a ridiculous stadium deal. The NFL will be adding a team in Los Angeles soon. Might as well be us if the team is moving. Imagine the huge amounts of available signing bonus money and great free agents that could be lured to a bigger market.

There is a thing called tradition that is being increasingly lost in modern day sports and this is yet another one of those situations. The catch, the redemption, all of these things happened in San Francisco. The legacy of this team was built in San Francisco and it is one that is collectively ours. As fans we share something that not many other fans share, ownership to a dynasty, 15 years of the greatest franchise in sports. And now some numbskull nitwit who married rich gets to move the team after bringing it to its knees? Sorry. I don't care where all the fans are. This team is from San Francisco and it should stay here. This isn't the Oakland A's or the Philadelphia eagles, its our Niners damnit! They should be where they belong, their home. And if you think York was serious about moving to SC, you are delusional. This was a ploy, a trick, and the fact that you guys rolled over like first time prisoner shows you are either in bed with York, or just confused. I am a Niner fan, I can name you the starters on all the teams from 1981 on, I know where our offense originated, I know the name of Mike Nolan's dad and his previous employer. I am a real, bonafide fan and I agree with Feintstein. Lets Santa Clara have its Sharks, this is a San Francisco team. Have some pride!
