The 49ers moved from San Francisco to Santa Clara in 2014.
Fans tailgate at Levi’s Stadium before an NFL football game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks in Santa Clara. Sweeping views of the Golden Gate bridge, Alcatraz Island and San Francisco’s skyline have dominated aerial shots for 49ers television broadcasts for years — after all, it’s the team’s namesake.
South Bay sports fans immediately took umbrage, flooding social media that night to express their long held frustrations that the networks have long ignored the Mission City, along with its neighbor, and the largest city in the Bay Area, San Jose. “I really think it comes down to the disconnect to the way the outside world looks at the Bay Area and the way the Bay Area looks at the Bay Area,” Purdy said.“If the 49ers wanted to, their president, Al Guido, could walk in and say ‘it’s great you show the bridge, but there’s a lot of things you can show here,'” he said.in 2021, posted last week on social media his own list of South Bay landmarks that NBC could have used during last Sunday’s 49ers vs. Cowboys game.
Santa Clara officials, however, are hoping to change their image — or lack thereof — when it comes to the team. The Dallas Cowboys play roughly 20 miles away in Arlington, and both the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers play 12 miles south in Inglewood. The New York Giants and New York Jets even cross state lines, playing across the Hudson River at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
