49ers Plan to Relocate Team Away From San Francisco

Thursday, November 09, 2006

SAN FRANCISCO — 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.

Team spokesman Aaron Salkin declined to comment Wednesday night. Phone messages left on the office and cell phone of Lisa Lang, the 49ers vice president for communications, were not immediately returned.

The sides had been talking over the last few months about building a privately financed stadium at Candlestick Point that was going to be part of the city's bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics......http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,228300,00.html

Aaawwww!!!! That is so gay!

Even if they move to GOP Orange County they will still be branded as the 'San Fagisco 69ers'

[UnkHiram]

Call me an old fuddy duddy but I am sick and tired of teams "Relocating" for money. The Colts belong in Baltimore, The Rams belong in Los Angelos, The Cardinals in St Louis, The Real Browns belonged in Cleveland and the Oilers belonged in Houston.

[Republican_Legion]

Wouldnt be much of a change if the 69ers moved to Boston.

[Republican_Legion]

Actually they probally are leaving because of the 'Universal Healthcare' they have to pay for the workers at the stadium.

[DeclinetoState]

My guess is the 49ers will stay in the Bay Area unless there's a new stadium already built in L.A. or Anaheim when their lease at the "Stick" runs out. Al Davis moved the Raiders to L.A. with promises that the Coliseum would only be a temporary home. Thirteen seasons later, with his team still playing in the Coliseum, he'd had enough and brought the Raiders back to the Bay Area.

L.A. 49ers of Anaheim?


Anaheim is in OrangeCounty. People still call the Angels 'Anaheim Angels' for a very good reason...Anaheim is not LA and LA sucks. Too many Liberals in LA.

49ERS ON THE MOVE
Plenty of wobble in the 49ers' stadium spin

The 49ers are at that awkward in-between-stadiums stage.

They outgrew the kozy konfines of Kezar, they're searching for their dream home, and in the meantime they're camping out in an abandoned baseball park at Candlestick Point.

Good news, though. A new football stadium looms. Thursday, the 49ers held a news conference to announce their intention to build in Santa Clara.

No, Santa Clara is not San Francisco. You can tell by the lower skyline. But Santa Clara offers the 49ers something San Francisco doesn't. Right now nobody, not even the 49ers, is sure what that something is, but it must be really cool!

I was at the news conference and I will now take questions, in an attempt to clarify the deal. <hr>
Q: Exactly what's up?

A: The cost to build a stadium. Over the last few years the estimated cost of a new 49ers stadium has gone up nearly $100 million per year. It's a taxi meter on steroids. The 49ers say a new stadium will cost $700-$800 million now, and they won't start building for at least four years.

Somebody has to pay the tab, so get ready for the $37 Candlestick beer.SF Chronicle (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/11/10/SPGVPMA8AI1.DTL)

I already knew the official name was changed to 'Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim' but if you had read my post more clearly you would see that I was pointing out that most fans call them Anaheim Angels instead of the official 'LA Angels'. Yes most of you folks in LA want to steal our team...figures.

However most fans still call them 'Anaheim Angels' or 'California Angels'. You should improve your spelling. First line you messed up on one word. In second line you forgot a period. In the third line 'now days' is missing a 'a' in it and this part 'I think more Angel fans than dodger fans in SO CAL' should be like this 'I think Theres more angels fans then dodger fans in so cal'.

Dont take this the wrong way but are you some 12 year old from Los Angeles ? :rotflmbo:

[SevenofNine]

Traditionally Dodgers were THE LA Sport team in LA since they sucks last few years the sport fan reject them became Angels that what I try to say to you

[SevenofNine]

Hey Best reason how Houston got another football team is because we here in SO CAL was having lots of political problems that reason why you are right or indianopolis Colts that too weird

[Republican_Legion]

I think his name is 'Van Tran'.

Interesting how OC is where Richard Nixon came from and grew up. I guess one could say he invited them over to OC.

Ron Burgundy (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ron_Burgundy&redirect=no) says no to 49ers moving south. Ron Burgundy (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ron_Burgundy&redirect=no) says awsome to Bud Black coaching the Padres :D. I watched Anchorman again tonight hehe.

[SevenofNine]

My bro lives in OC, on Chapman just off I-5.

We're heading down there one of these days to visit the Nixon Prez library. Been to Reagan's a few times. I'd like to see the .45cal pistol that was given to Nixon by ELVIS.

Well, one team kinda returned home, the Houston Texans. The former Dallas Texans are now my beloved Kansas City Chiefs.

Wazup with Trent?

[EveningStar]

The Rams belong in Los Angelos, The Cardinals in St Louis

The Ram-it-up-their-asses actually started in Cleveland and the Cardinals actually started in Chicago, but I get your point. :)

[EveningStar]

You old fuddy duddy.
:rotflmbo:

[SevenofNine]

So in other we never had NFL team of our own LOL! then Cleveland Rams and St Louis cardinals LOL!

Only baseball team we have before 1960s was LA Angels of Pacific league look it up was bought by Gene Aunty move to OC then became California Angels IT IS TRUE

1. Correction http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chargers Chargers started in LA for one season only then moved to San Diego in 1961 and its been that way since. So yes we had a team of our own in california.

2. Correction San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers were in California in 1958

3. They spent only 5 years in LA and moved to Anaheim in 1966.

4.Pacific Coast League was not part of the AL or NL. 1903 there was quite a few teams from california that started that year. So there isnt really a 'First'.

5. The only reason it was renamed to 'Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim' was for pure marketing reasons which boosted the teams income and sales.

6. Currently they only have a world series title as the 'Anaheim Angels'.

Wazup with Trent?
He got knocked out in week#1 with a bad concussion. Although he's OK now, Damon Hourde (sp) has done so well that they have kept him as the starter.
I'm worried about this week's game as the Chiefs historically have a rough time with Miami, no matter how bad they may be.

:unsmile: The Rams started in Cleveland, not Los Angeles. The Cardinals started in Chicago, not St. Louis.

:unsmile: And the Browns are still in Cleveland, they never moved. Officially, the Ravens are an expansion franchise which got the Browns players, & gave their expansion draft to the Browns organization.

OR ST LOUIS LAMBS

:moo: HAHAHA, you southern California LOSERS lost your team, because you jumped on the bandwagon as soon as that other team came to town. Now, they've gone back to being the CHOKELAND HATERS. HAHAHAHAHA. Oh yeah, just like a man who tells his wife he's leaving her for his mistress, then the mistress moves back to CHOKELAND. HAHAHAHAHA.

[Republican_Legion]

Dont forget about the pathetic Oakland Rioters(Raiders) fans that Rioted in 2003:rotflmbo:.

[SevenofNine]

Actually Lambs have following real reason I like Raiders probably Raiders play at LA Coliseum and at that time when they came from Oaktown they were good team dont forget they won last Super Bowl in 1981 when they were Los Angeles Raiders Longhorn

[Longhorn_Platinum]

:moo: Yeah like i said you jump on the bandwagon because they won one big game oh yeah baby rack ITTTTT & don't try to talk smack with me missy OH YEAH I will smack you upside the head HAHAHAHA

:moo: Oh, & in case you missed it, welcome back, girl, I wondered whatever happened to you.

[SevenofNine]

When Raiders move to the town that when I got into football so LA Lambs move to Anaheim that too far from my childhood neighborhood I start going to Raider game when I was 11 year old coolest thing if game sucks

There LAPD breaking up drunken Raider fans fights there was good ones

Those were the days

[Beowulf]

Dolphins 13, Chiefs 10. As usual, the problem continues with that team.:flame:

[UnkHiram]

The Rams were in Los Angelos as I grew Up, That is where they belong. The Cardinals moved to St Louis the year I was born, that is where they belong. You can hang your technicalities, The REAL Browns were hijacked to Baltimore and named after a poem.

I detest moving teams with long traditions. The Colts Belong in Baltimore! The Chiefs were not in Dallas long enough to establish a tradition. The Oilers belong in Houston not in Tennessee playing in USFL uniforms.

[PaulRevere]

It seems appropriate that San Francisco would try and get the Packers to relocate there.

PS: Vietnamese Americans are solidly Republican because they know which party supported them against the communists and which party always prefered the communists and ended up pulling all support from them, signaling the last communist attack.
