Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett
may be a fan of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, but that doesn't mean everything he has to say about his team's division rival is positive.
The announced paid attendance for Sunday's game between the Seahawks and 49ers at Levi's Stadium was 70,134. However, from the looks of the nearly empty venue from week to week, it would appear that most fans would rather stay at home than venture out to watch a one-win team.
"There might not be any fans in the stadium, which there wasn't a lot of fans in the stadium," Bennett said via Gregg Bell of The News Tribune. "I looked online you could've gotten a ticket for $17, and you can't get a ticket for $17 to my house. But, that's a really good team. They're a really good team. We played against them, and so is Arizona. Every time we play, it's a hard game."
Bennett isn't wrong about the ticket prices. Third-party tickets to 49ers games remain among the most inexpensive in the NFL. Tickets for their next home game, a December 17 matchup against the Tennessee Titans,
can be had for as low as $21 via our ticket partner, SeatGeek. Are you looking to watch the 49ers' December 24 home matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars?
Tickets for that game are as low as $16.

PFF mock draft has 49ers adding cornerback with 'unique fluidity and size'
Analyst Steve Palazzolo unveiled a first-round mock draft for Pro Football Focus, attempting to forecast the selections for each NFL team within the top 32 picks. While the San Francisco 49ers concentrated on strengthening the defensive line in free agency, Palazzolo envisions the team continuing to fortify that side of the ball.
In his mock draft, Palazzolo predicts that the 49ers will select former Iowa State cornerback T.J. Tampa with the No. 31 overall pick.
"Tampa's unique fluidity and size for a cornerback make him worthy of a top-75 pick," reads the analysis from Pro Football Focus' big board. "If he can clean up his footwork, he can
Deebo Samuel and Brock Purdy are why the 49ers can afford to pay Brandon Aiyuk
It's evident that the San Francisco 49ers engaged in long-term financial planning. Much discussion has centered around the feasibility of the team committing significant financial resources to two wide receivers, Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel. Some skeptics question the wisdom of such heavy investment in a single position, especially considering that the 49ers handed Samuel a substantial three-year extension merely two years ago.
Adding complexity to this debate is the impending contract extension for quarterback Brock Purdy, positioning him to become the highest-paid player on the team. He will likely even become one of the NFL's highest-paid players. Where he ranks in average salary will depend upon whether he can replicate the stellar performance of his Pro Bowl 2023
