San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York announced that the team will cover the expenses to fly its entire organization to Las Vegas, Nevada, for Super Bowl 58. This gesture mirrors a similar move made four years ago when 1,500 49ers staffers traveled to Miami for Super Bowl 54, also against the Kansas City Chiefs.
York and the 49ers are receiving praise on social media for this classy move. Even interns will enjoy an expenses-paid trip to Sin City.
"We're going to make sure that all staff and interns and everybody, they get to go," York informed reporters. "And we're doing multiple team charters that are going. I mean, I couldn't tell you all the details off the top of my head, but there's a lot of alumni that are going. People are fired up."
Having faced a loss in the previous Super Bowl against the Chiefs, the 49ers aim for a different outcome this time. York wants to ensure that the entire organization is present to experience the festivities surrounding Super Bowl 58 and the game itself.
The clash between the 49ers and Chiefs will take place at Allegiant Stadium on February 11, with oddsmakers currently favoring San Francisco by two points.
