San Francisco 49ers Tickets : Later Selections Included Back Chris Culliver In The Third Round
The San Francisco 49ers are a professional American football team based in the San Francisco Bay Area
. They are currently members of the Western Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The team plays its home games in Candlestick Park in San Francisco, California, while the club's headquarters and practice facility are located in nearby Santa Clara.
The 49ers were established in 1946 as a charter member of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) and joined the NFL in 1950 after the two leagues merged together. The team was the first NFL franchise to win five Super Bowls, and is second only to the Pittsburgh Steelers in total Super Bowl wins (6), tied with the Dallas Cowboys at 5.
The team's five league (or currently, Conference) titles (whichinclude the pre-NFL and pre-Super Bowl periods) place them in a four-way tie for fifth all-time, behind the Green Bay Packers (13), the Chicago Bears (9), the New York Giants (7), and the Steelers (6). The 49ers remain the only team in NFL history, of those who have won more than one, to have an undefeated record in the Super Bowl.
The 49ers teams of the 1980s and early 1990s were a great dynasty given their five Super Bowl triumphs in that span, including four in the 1980s. The Niners won 10 or more games for 16 straight seasons.Particularly notable seasons are the 1984 and 1989 teams. Three-time Super Bowl MVP Joe Montana, perennial Pro Bowler Ronnie Lott, all-time highest career quarterback rating holder Steve Young, and career touchdown leader Jerry Rice played for the 49ers during this period.
Additionally, some of the most memorable plays (including "The Catch") and games were played by this team.On January 4, 2011 Jed York promoted Interim General Manager Trent Baalke to be the General Manager,Baalke took over the General Manager role after former GM Scot McCloughan was relieved of his duties the year before. 2 days later, former head coach of Stanford University Jim Harbaugh was hired to become the new head coach.
In the 2011 NFL Draft, the 49ers selected pass rusher Aldon Smith from the University of Missouri with the seventh pick of the first round. In the second round they traded up nine spots to select Nevada Wolf Pack Quarterback Colin Kaepernick, giving three picks to the Denver Broncos in exchange for the 36th overall pick.
Later selections included defensive back Chris Culliver in the third round, running back Kendall Hunter in the fourth round, offensive lineman Daniel Kilgore in round five, and wide receiver Ronald Johnson in round six. The 49ers did not draft any players from Stanford, despite the recent hiring of Jim Harbaugh.On November 8, 2006, reports surfaced that the 49ers ended negotiations with the city of San Francisco about building a new stadium and plan to move to Santa Clara, 30 miles south of San Francisco; Santa Clara already hosts the team's administrative headquarters and training facility.
The Yorks and then-San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom 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. The 49ers' decision ended the Olympic bid. San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago were the three cities competing to be the U.S. Olympic Committee's choice to bid on the 2016 games, with Chicago emerging as the eventual victor.
The team's current lease at Candlestick Park could extend through 2013.The 49ers sponsored Measure J, which appeared on the June 8, 2010 Santa Clara, California ballot, to build a new stadium as home for 49ers in that city. The measure passed with 58.2% of the total vote. This is seen as the first step for the 49ers relocation to a new venue to be built in Santa Clara.
On the 49ers website, owner and business man John York had a letter stating that after a move to Santa Clara, the team would retain its name "San Francisco".Yet, York, who is a businessman/owner will use the S.F Brand in order to help the keep the team marketable. In the history of the NFL, Teams who have relocated have embraced the city/community support for its stadium and name change.
Diane Feinstein and other leaders will attempt to keep the name "San Francisco ".York later confirmed in a press conference on November 9 that the team would move to Santa Clara with plans to build a state of the art stadium without a shopping mall in time for the 2015 season.
