SANTA CLARA —The San Francisco 49ers say profits this past fiscal year for Levi’s Stadium events outside of National Football League games will be a projected $750,000 compared to the $5 million they were originally expecting.
The team blames the sharp fall in event profits — which in the past have included concerts, beer festivals and games by other sports leagues — on a 10 p.m. city curfew for weeknight, outdoor non-NFL events. Events on Fridays and Saturdays can go until 11 p.m.
“The Mayor has played politics and refused to correct, or even address, her music ban,” said 49ers Vice President of Public Affairs Rahul Chandhok, referring to Mayor Lisa Gillmor.
