Golden Nuggets: Stadium Plans.. Finally?

Good morning all, James here with your Nuggets for today. I'm getting this up a bit later than usual but I doubt anyone will notice, so moving on... We've got a new stadium plan, and I couldn't be less excited. Number one, I don't like that its not in San Francisco. Number two, its not football news so much in that I cant see somebody hit somebody else really hard, or even speculate on it when we're talking about something like uniforms and stadiums! That being said though, if I were someone who cared I suppose I'd be glad we finally have a deal in the works and speculation can come to a rather needed close. Not sure how many articles I have today, but we'll find out. Enjoy.

Yes, a new deal is complete (for the most part) for a new stadium. (SFGate.com)

Here's more on what happens and what needs to happen for it here on the official website. (49ers.com)

Are the 49ers urgent and panicky about signing their rookie draft picks, or does Singletary just not like waiting? All I know is Michael Crabtree better not hold out. (SacBee.com)

A Q&A with S Curtis Taylor. (49ers.com)

Catching up with some old 49ers and their charities. (MercuryNews.com)

Only three of the 49ers picks remain unsigned. (PressDemocrat.com)

Gore wants to return to Miami. Well, I hope he gets there, really! (49ers.com)

The rookies are getting a taste of the offseason workouts. (49ers.com)

Can the 49ers get better? I friggin hope so. (SFGate.com)

What it means to me.

State of the art Stadium. Sunny and warm day.Cold weather gear not required. Sun screen lotion necessary.Safer conditions and suroundings. Easier acess in and out. Great America. Nicer Hotels located close by. And most importantly, A City that wants us. Not like the chemical infected Hunter Point in no mans land.

I was at the Season opener last year against the cards....

I got roasted. The funny thing was, I saw people at the airport later that day wearing their Niner stuff and I couldn’t tell if they where grimacing because they where obviously burnt as well, or because the Niners lost and they had flown to SF (like myself) to watch it…

The cake is a lie.

Being a Tech fan it may be hard for you to agree but,

Q: What was it like hearing Jerry Rice (on Wednesday)? What was his message to the team?
MC: He always has basically the same points every time I meet with him – talking about elevating your game and getting better, really powerful points. (Rice visited with Crabtree prior to the draft in the Dallas area).

He didn’t seem all too enthused talking to the greatest WR of all time…He seemed bored with it.

discussions with rice

He did say they were really powerful points. So maybe it just doesn’t translate in print.

Maybe it translates in video

Those of us who know Crabs will say that all this talk of comparing him to the legendary Jerry Rice makes him uneasy. He doesn’t want to his head to get big. He’d rather prove it on the field.

And I’m willing to wager it was Singletary’s phone call to Jerry Rice that sealed the deal for Crabtree’s #1 draft selection.

Crabtree is clutch

Michael Crabtree's Wonderlic Score:

15

One less than Dan Moreno, one more than Darrius Heyward-Bey.

Dan Moreno?

"I'll be honest with you, I love his music, I do, I'm a Michael Bolton fan. For my money, I don't know if it gets any better than when he sings "When a Man Loves a Woman"

+1.

Even more so because of the subtlety.

The cake is a lie.

New Stadium

Why not build a stadium to share with the Raiders? If the Giants and Jets can do it, I think the Niners and Raiders can figure it out.

by swerv on May 30, 2009 10:37 AM PDT reply actions  

It's not that bad if you are a Giants fan

But for the Jets fans, there is a bit of tension there… They want their own stadium, not have to play in Giant’s stadium. Now granted, next year they have “XXXX Stadium”, so it will be easier on the Jets and their fans.

That being said, I have NO problem with the Niners being the classy team, and allowing the Raiders to visit our stadium, use it from time to time, and then have the Niners come in and kick the bums back on the streets when we need it.

Blind devotion.
