‘The House That Harbaugh Built’ banner flies over Levi’s Stadium

Jan 1, 2017 at 11:55 AM--


Fans are frustrated with San Francisco 49ers ownership and it has shown up yet again prior to the team's finale against the Seattle Seahawks at Levi's Stadium today. Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that a small plane was flying over the 49ers' home stadium with a banner that read, "Levi's Stadium – The House That Harbaugh Built."


No word on whether or not Jim Harbaugh, the former 49ers head coach who is now at the University of Michigan, was the pilot. Probably not though.

Harbaugh's four-year tenure with the 49ers is seen as instrumental in getting the stadium built. After years of losing, Harbaugh helped to make the 49ers relevant again. The coach was fired following the team's inaugural season there.

Levi's Stadium is slated to host 2026 World Cup events. In addition, the San Francisco 49ers hope their home venue can host a second NFL title game—Super Bowl 60.

Why such a significant investment in a stadium that is only nine years old? Levi's Stadium opened ahead of the 2014



49ers considered trading Mike McGlinchey last year

Mike McGlinchey received a life-changing payday, signing a five-year, $87.5 million deal with the Denver Broncos. The offensive tackle has known for a while that he would not return to the San Francisco 49ers, the only NFL team he has played for and the one that made him the No. 9 overall pick in 2018. General manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan made it clear to McGlinchey that he was likely playing his final months for the team. There was too much money invested in other spots, and the 49ers knew they couldn't compete with other interested teams. Behind the scenes, Lynch and Shanahan kept McGlinchey in the loop of what the team was thinking, and everything pointed to the tackle playing elsewhere in 2023 … maybe even

Purdy is recovering from surgery to repair the tear of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow, an injury sustained in the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles. He hasn't been seen since the surgery, with his last public appearance taking place In Arizona, during the week leading to the Super Bowl.
