Save the Stick!!!

The team can't move...i realize the Stick is old, ugly and needs repairs but a new stadium means higher ticket prices, PSL's (which is bulls**t!) Can't they just pump a few million into the stadium? Candlestick has given me some of the best memories of my life and i hate to see it go...Saturday's game was just another great memory that makes me want to save our stadium! thoughts?

SF is run by a bunch of weenies that dont care about football. Plus the Yorkies want to be in Silicon Valley and the goofs in SF have provided perfect cover....

Listen man, the 'Stick has been great. But don't be an old man and cling to something that isn't there.

This is a new era. A new team. New everything. Let's get to Santa Clara and build that into a legendary park.

No.

You can't renovate it. Time for a new stadium. Hopefully the old girl can give us a few more Superbowls before she is retired.

I will definitely miss it, but I think Candlestick will shake apart after this Sundays game.

When the new stadium is built, given our resurgence, the NFL will want to have a Super Bowl in the new stadium

There never was and never will be a Super Bowl in the old girl

But I'll take 2 more (after Sunday) NFC Championships

I used to think it'd be cool if they completely renovated and updated it like Lambeau field. But it's way too late for that now, everything is set for the new stadium to be built.
