In a huge FU to the NFL

[OregonDucks]

Seems more of an FU to their city as opposed to the NFL. This actually helps the NFL as it avoids disastrous scheduling issues and they still get to air 49er games therefore still getting money from them.

If I am the city wherever the niners reside, I may be worried that they could start to look at relocation permanently.

They have a 40-year lease that started in 2014.

My math's not wonderful, but I'm pretty sure they're not going to be leaving anytime soon.

unless there are stipulations in the lease

I mean, I'm sure that this is an acceptable allowance to play out of the stadium, but I don't think that playing two games somewhere else is grounds for breaking over three-quarters of a lease.

have no clue.
Does make me wonder though. With all this covid stuff, what if there is a stipulation on amount of fans in a season or some shit?
Just sayin' there is ways out of a 40 year contract (probably for both sides)

Just throwin' it out there.

SF will probably lose them both anyway.

Potential likelihood that they push the lease back a year and allow the team to not make payments, since there were minimal to no fans allowed in the building, which is a huge part of how they get the money to pay the lease.

A full "get out of jail free" for the team is probably not on the table, though. Unless there was something where everywhere else in the country was allowed to have a full attendance and they were massively restricted. And the league (in addition to the team) would probably sue the shit out of whatever department was mandating the restrictions first, before just bailing on a lease.
