Bay Area sports teams are seeing a lot of success. The San Jose Sharks went deep in the Stanley Cup playoffs before being eliminated by the St. Louis Blues. The Golden State Warriors find themselves, once again, in the NBA Finals awaiting the winner out of the East.

San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk made sure to attend some Sharks and Warriors games and was impressed with the fans in each arena. He was exposed to atmospheres he hopes can one day find their way to Levi's Stadium. Juszczyk knows, however, that the 49ers need to start winning for that to happen.

"We've had that exact conversation over and over," Juszczyk said Thursday on 95.7 The Game. "The energy at SAP (Center) and Oracle (Arena), every time I'm like, 'Let's bring this to Levi's (Stadium). This could be huge.' We really feel like if we give these fans a reason to cheer like these teams are, like the Warriors and the Sharks are, it's going to be an electric atmosphere."

And in case you were wondering, Juszczyk says he was not in the same SAP Center suite with the 49ers' offensive linemen when this happened.


Of course, no interview would be complete without an update on Jimmy Garoppolo. Much is riding on the health and success of the 49ers' franchise quarterback.

"Jimmy looks great," Juszczyk said. "You can't tell that he's coming off an injury. It seems like he moves the same, operating the same, the same Jimmy. He's out there slinging it, looking good."

You can listen to the entire conversation with Juszczyk below.

Super Bowl-winning head coach Andy Reid of the Kansas City Chiefs witnessed all he needed from Brock Purdy last season to assure him that the San Francisco 49ers are in capable hands at the quarterback position. Purdy was an MVP nominee in 2023 and had his 49ers just a play or two away from clinching a Super Bowl victory away from the Chiefs. Unfortunately, for Purdy and the 49ers, Reid and his own quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, widely regarded as the best in the game today, dashed their Super Bowl dreams in overtime last month. According to NBC Sports Bay Area, speaking at the NFL owners meetings on Monday, Reid stated, "Yeah, I

Last week, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan ran into his wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk, while on vacation in Cabo San Lucas. "He was randomly at our hotel. I don't think he wanted to be," the coach shared on Tuesday while speaking to reporters at the NFL owners meetings. The 49ers are currently negotiating a long-term extension with Aiyuk to ensure he remains with the team for the foreseeable future. However, with it only being March, it's challenging to predict how everything will unfold. Typically, under the leadership of Shanahan and general manager John Lynch, the 49ers have reached agreements with their star players closer to training camp in July. Lynch stated yesterday that the

He will focus on game plan preparations while offering his experience to the team. Nick Sorensen, the team's defensive pass game specialist, was awarded the defensive coordinator position. Shanahan opted for an internal candidate, valuing Sorensen's familiarity with the staff and the defensive system. When asked what qualities Sorensen demonstrated to prove he's ready to call plays for the defense, Shanahan explained, "He's worked with a lot of people

His opportunity to showcase his ability to play in the NFL came only after the team suffered injuries to two quarterbacks. Purdy flourished, leading the team to the NFC Championship Game during his rookie season and to the Super Bowl last season. His rise underscores the
