If they move to Santa Clara can they still be called the San Francisco 49ers? [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Why not? The Jets and Giants don't play in New York. The Redskins don't play or practice in DC. Dallas doesn't play in the city of Dallas. Tampa Bay plays in the city of Tampa rather than the middle of the waters of Tampa Bay.

I know when the Bears were looking for a new stadium, Mayor Daley wouldn't allow them to use the name Chicago if they chose a site that he didn't approve.

Somehow the Mayor owns the rights to the name "Chicago"?
