The 49ers are hoping for a winning season at Levi’s Stadium, but off the field they continue to get sacked by the home team at Santa Clara City Hall
The latest skirmish is over stadium rent. The team had asked for a $4.25 million-a-year rent reduction for the remainder of its lease.
Instead … an outside arbitrator was brought in, who instead of reducing the rent upped it by $262,000 a year. The ruling amounts to a roughly $180 million rent swing over the 40-year life of the lease.

“I’m going to ask [that] the city is made whole for their contractual obligations,” [Mayor Lisa] Gillmor said Friday. “It needs to be paid.”
Gillmor says she’ll push to ensure any changes to the Niners’ rent or contract are discussed in open session because it’s “public money.”
“It was mentioned they had apparently reset their own rent without our approval,” she said. “But I want every penny accounted for and delivered as per the contract.”
March 19, 2016: Two years into the 49ers’ stay in Santa Clara, there’s a dispute about how much rent the team has to pay.
Santa Clara Mayor Lisa Gillmor said the 49ers need to continue paying the full $24.5 million a year in rent that their lease called for from the time they first moved into the stadium two years ago. But the 49ers aren’t paying that. They say a clause in their lease allows them to reset their rent based on changes in revenue and costs, and the 49ers now want to pay $20.25 million a year.
