San Francisco has a population of 815K. San Jose, which is at the other end of the Bay, has a population of 983K. All of Santa Clara county has a population of ~2 million. People in the bay area are heavily concentrated around the south and south east. The city of SF is very sparse in comparison.

Plus, until recently you had the Raiders just across in Oakland which further made a downtown SF team redundant.
