[edit] Reassessment

I've reassessed the article as meeting the Start-class guidelines. It is, however, pretty close to a B-class article.

The problems that I saw: The "Stadium Design" section uses an odd mix of tenses, including "was" and "will". It is also very unclear if this was only the design for the new (2006?) San Francisco stadium, or might also be recycled to used for the Santa Clara stadium design. [Also: Was there a different design intended for the 1997 version?]

Also: The "2006 plan" section looks to me if it is really two plans, the initial San Francisco plan, and the later Santa Clara plan.

If these issues are cleared up, the article should be ready for a B-class rating. ^BlankVerse 06:57, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I wanted this article to have an emphasis on the 2006 plan and the current slated stadium design, yet also provide a historical perspective on the 49ers' need for a new stadium by discussing the 1997 initiative. Do you have any ideas on how that could be structured better? -- ßίζ·קּ‼ (talk | contribs) 02:41, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Section "Monster Park is obsolete"

There is some bias and unsourced information in this small section of the article that needs to be addressed.

It is obsolete. It is basically a baseball stadium with a football field. Seatings along what used to be the right foul line are now blocked by the east grandstand for football games as well as steel beams supporting the upper deck obstructing sight lines of seats on the lower deck.

It is also the oldest stadium in the NFL that has not been renovated or replaced. Heck, even Soldier Field and Lambeau Field, stadiums that are older than Monster Park, have been renovated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.246.84.57 (talk) 08:04, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

As of November 2007 this article is completely inaccurate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.180.28.234 (talk) 03:45, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Is the old age of the stadium really the reason why the 49ers are worth half what the Reskins are worth? Somehow, it seems like other factors might have more to do with it. Timothy Horrigan (talk) 17:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
