They deserve the spoils. If the Raiders were anything more than a tenant or had a 50% share in the stadium you'd have a good argument. The Raiders don't appear to be signing on right now, and if they do it may be at best short-term. <br> All of the threats by major politicians only resulted in one bill, SB 49 by Carole Migden (now out of office), which had everything to do with public funding and nothing to do with team names. That bill died and nothing has happened since. Legally, the City of San Francisco has little to stand on. <br> The Giants/Jets hosting Super Bowl XLVIII is an interesting corner case in that they share the stadium 50/50. The AFC and NFC alternate years hosting the game, with an AFC city in Indianapolis hosting this year. Next year it's an NFC city in New Orleans, and in 2014 it'll be the AFC again. @Groshawn – The 49ers have done all of the legwork to get the Santa Clara stadium built. They deserve the spoils.

ML I have a question. I've heard reports of both that the 49ers would have to change their name to santa clara and reports that they would keep the SF name. what will the name be? I've heard that I think it is was Barbara Boxer or Dianne Feinstein that says the name will HAVE to change if they move.

Oakland will be rewarded if they get their own stadium deal done. @Groshawn – As long as it’s the 49ers’ Super Bowl, the team and the NFL gets to choose where the events go.

Economically and logistically, that's exactly what it will be. I think the South Bay will do very well economically with it, which is great. But the way it will be presented nationally (by both the national media and the NFL in marketing it) will be San Francisco. I wouldn't take offense to that. SF is a great draw. Positioning the event globally that way will only make it more appealing and successful. And at the end of the day, the cities of the South Bay will be cashing plenty of checks. Just don't expect silicon wafers (or whatever) as the main element in the logo or other materials. . TonyD - that's a really great point about Diridon. The Super Bowl would be a perfect opportunity to showcase that area if it's in place by then (with or without ESPN). There will be plenty of need for party and event space for all the various sponsors and whatnot, and I would love to see some of them placed there.
