San Francisco 49ers Football Stadium Framed Panoramic Picture

The 49ers were the first major league professional sports franchise to be based in San Francisco. They were part of the All-American Football Conference until merging with the NFL in 1950. The 49ers name was selected in recognition of the pioneering and adventurous spirit of men involved in the 1849 Gold Rush at the Sierra Nevada Mountains, east of San Francisco. Between 1988 and 1990, the 49ers set an amazing league record with 18 consecutive road victories. The 49ers were also the first NFL franchise to win back-to-back Super Bowls under different head coaches.
