49ers Consider Options Amid Super Bowl Practice Field Dispute
TL;DR Summary
The San Francisco 49ers are dissatisfied with the softness of the practice fields at UNLV ahead of the Super Bowl and are considering alternative practice locations due to concerns about player safety and the unfamiliar surface. The team's general manager, John Lynch, personally inspected the fields, which resemble the softness of MetLife Stadium where several players suffered injuries in 2020. The NFL insists that the UNLV fields are playable, but the 49ers are exploring other options, including using the Raiders' facility.
