While the 49ers' miserable 1-6 record this season probably isn't helping bring in the fans, team President Jed York is miffed that he hasn't been able to get some face time the mayor in two years. According to Matier & Ross at the Chronicle, York is mostly concerned with getting Candlestick to "the highest quality that our fans deserve," (read: adding flat screens in the luxury boxes).
The city, on the other hand has put in $25 million to the stadium since 2004, and is understandably wary of spending additional taxpayer money without a longer term commitment from the team (or, you know, maybe just a better quarterback?) and so, the standoff continues.
