The New 49ers Stadium, and how it might've Destroyed a Franchise

[FAH1223]

City taxpayers didn't want to foot the bill for a new stadium. Plus, developers/the team etc wanted to get up out of Hunters Point/bayview.

If you know where Candlestick is, it's smack dab in the hood, right across the street from the jects. They wanted to build a mega stadium with restaurants, shops etc and surrounding bars. But that area isn't really a match for fans to venture out because it's in the hood.

Basically they wanted white folks to be safe and have a better fan experience

i thought gentrifying the whole area woulda been done

Yep, let's blame an inanimate object and not Kaeptain One-Read's severe regression or Harbaugh's grating personality wearing on players after nearly a half-decade in charge.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

I'm surprised they didn't ruthlessly gentrify the whole area.

They have been slowly doin that the past 10 years

They are slowly doin it. But they can't just flat out bulldoze all the public housing. The city would get so much shyt if they abruptly left thousands of low income families in the street.

Can someone provide a map showing the difference in location? I've never been to Cali, so it's all the same to me.

Me too. Candlestick is on the bay, thats good real-estate. The bay is so crazy. They got San Quentin sitting on some of the most expensive real-estate. They should move those thugs to the dessert and build something there.

Lose Patrick Willis, Bowman, Aldon Smith for the majority of the season on defense, have your QB regress, have your coach quit on the team and have your offensive coordinator continue to shoot himself in the foot and blame it all on the new stadium brehs.

We had mike f'ucktoni as coach and currently have the likes of jeremy lin and carlos loozer playing alongside Kobe. It's no such thing as a bandwagon Laker fan to even put up with that shyt.

A lot of bandwagon fans haven't put up with that shyt. Most of LWO is on milk cartons these days.

Damn

They're doing it in DC as we speak

About to bulldoze public housing in Southeast and leave people in the cold

this stadium is

It looks unfinished, the pillars/the beams just look like they're unfinished. and there's literally NOTHING in the area. My friend took me by there. There's no restaurants, no stores, no nothing nearby. It's literally in the middle of nowhere next to a few small businesses. Just has a weird vibe to it.

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

That Vikings stadium gonna be the shyt though

It looks and feels like a college stadium from the outside and just walking around it. Their club area under the stands are pretty impressive, but you gotta come out of them pockets or know someone to get inside there.

People can't say owners shouldn't ask for public funds to build a billion dollar stadium then get mad when they try to recoup on their investment.

Yeah it looks weird, can't believe it's hosting a Super Bowl. Super Bowl 50 at the Rose Bowl would've been though
