The San Francisco 49ers' payroll department is going to have a lot of expense reports to go through after Super Bowl LIV. Of course, it might actually be there in Miami for the game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Cam Inman of Bay Area News Group reports that the 49ers are flying over 1,500 staff members and their spouses to Miami on multiple charter planes for Super Bowl LIV. Team CEO Jed York confirmed that on Friday.
"We're taking a lot of people," York told Inman. "We wanted to make sure that our entire staff had the opportunity to go — everybody from Kyle (Shanahan) and John (Lynch), all the way down to interns.
"Everyone's been a part of this, and we wanted to make sure they're there to help and also celebrate the moment that hopefully gets us over the hump."
This is the 49ers' seventh trip to a Super Bowl and the first since the 2012 season, and it would appear the team is opening up its wallet for the experience. 49ers players will board a Miami-bound plane on Sunday, a week before kicking off Super Bowl LIV against the Chiefs.

There is a good level is skepticism surrounding the possibility of a 2020 NFL season kicking off. The COVID-19 pandemic remains and nearly a third of NFL teams have reported at least one case among their players and staff, temporarily shutting down operations for some. That includes one 49ers player testing positive for the virus last week.
What happens when players are officially allowed back into team facilities? That remains to be seen.

Several San Francisco 49ers players took part in this week's State of the Franchise event. The team came just short of achieving its goal last season and hopes to finish the job during the 2020 season.
Players were asked about the goal for the upcoming season. While he understands the journey will be difficult, head coach Kyle Shanahan has already stated that his expectations are to get back to the point where the team stumbled, and right that wrong.
"We've got to get right back to that fourth quarter, and get to have a lead, and we've got to finish the job," Shanahan said this week.
