‘Hold Jed Accountable’ banner flies over Levi’s Stadium

Dec 20, 2015 at 11:39 AM--


A new banner was flying over Levi's Stadium prior to Sunday's game between the San Francisco 49ers and Cincinnati Bengals.


The banner reads "Hold Jed Accountable," referring to 49ers CEO Jed York.


Earlier this season, a similar banner flew over the stadium prior to the 49ers' matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. It read, "Jed & 49ers Should Mutually Part Ways."

During that earlier anti-York protest, Stadium officials had the plane contacted and requested that they depart, to which the plane said no, citing free speech.

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. That would come a decade after Levi's Stadium last hosted the big game, Super Bowl 50. The NFL is expected to announce the sites for Super Bowl 60 and 61 in May. 49ers CEO Jed York hopes to spruce up Levi's Stadium before either of those events by securing $120 million from the NFL's stadium fund. "Generally, those are approved, and they go through committees, so I feel fairly comfortable that will be approved," York said Tuesday at the NFL owners' meetings in Arizona. Why such a significant investment in a stadium that is only nine years old? Levi's Stadium opened ahead of the 2014

Jed York on 49ers' decision to draft Trey Lance: "I wouldn't change anything"

San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York spoke with reporters on Tuesday at the NFL owners' meetings in Arizona. He was asked about one of his quarterbacks, Trey Lance. In 2021, the team made a blockbuster move, trading significant draft capital to move up to the No. 3 overall pick, where they selected Lance. Two years later, Lance has started only four games and has been surpassed on the depth chart by last year's "Mr. Irrelevant," the No. 262 overall pick, Brock Purdy. Despite the cost of acquiring Lance, York doesn't regret the decision to trade up and still believes in Lance's potential. "I wouldn't change anything that we've made about the decision with Trey," York told reporters.



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
