San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch, along with Good Morning Football host Peter Schrager, announced on Wednesday that the team will hold another State of the Franchise event on Wednesday, May 23 at 7 p.m. PT. Schrager will join 49ers radio play-by-play announcer Ted Robinson as the hosts for the event.
"We know we're getting big time when they're bringing the Schrags out to work with Ted Robinson on this," Lynch joked. "That's awesome."
The event will be held at the California Theatre in San Jose with tickets costing $5. All proceeds will benefit the 49ers Foundation. Ticket information can be found here.
"It's a great opportunity for us," Lynch continued. "Last year was our first year, obviously, but a great opportunity for us. Our leadership team and some of our players, Joe Staley last year stole the show as he often does. But a great opportunity for our fans, The Faithful, to kind of get a behind-the-scenes look and see the personalities, my leadership group in terms of the front office – (vice president of player personnel) Adam Peters and (senior personnel executive) Martin Mayhew will be there, (EVP of football operations) Paraag Marathe. Kyle (Shanahan) is there, a lot of our top players.
"We also get to see some of the behind-the-scenes in terms of what people are going to see in the fan experience in our stadium this year. So it's a great event. We've got a great fanbase. It's just an opportunity to share an evening with them. It will be lots of fun."
Last year's two-hour town-hall-style event took place at the Santa Clara Convention Center and was streamed live from the 49ers' official website, app, Facebook page, and Twitter.
