The 49ers play in fucking Santa Clara now (I grew up in Philly area but live in sf now). It's like 45 miles away from the closest part of the city and takes an hour to get there in very moderate traffic. It'd be like if the eagles played in Allentown (almost)

That's wild but at least it's the same state and I guess paying the same taxes.

North Jersey's New York identity is so pathetic in my opinion.

Well sf has its own taxes for city and county, so only kinda. But yeah, if there was another state an hour away they might have gone ahead and moved it there. Different state is too much, I agree

when I was a kid and would play Madden on Sega, they were listed as the NJ Jets.

As they should be 😂 The Bills are the only true NY NFL team.
