New stadium for 49ers to be built in Santa Clara

The San Francisco 49’ers will say goodbye to Candlestick Park in 2014 when they move into a new stadium in Santa Clara.

An architect’s rendition of the new stadium is show above.

The team will keep the name San Francisco 49’ers even though, beginning in 2014, they will play their home games about an hours drive from San Francisco.

Changing the name of the team would probably drive fans away in droves. Can you imagine calling them the Santa Clara 49’ers? Neither can we.
