49ers FSL Numbers Move To 3141
Oct. 8, 2008
Charlotte, N.C. - As of the close of the business, Wednesday, Oct. 8, the 49ers had received reservations for 3141 Forty-Niner Seat Licenses (FSL's). That translates to $3,141,000 worth of support for 49ers football since Chancellor Dr. Phil Dubois' recommendation to add football was made on Thursday, Sept. 18.
At this time, no money has been accepted by the 49ers ticket office. The 49ers will await the UNC Charlotte Board of Trustees' final approval in November before beginning the actual sale of FSL's and football tickets.
The Chancellor's recommendation called for the sale of 5000 FSL's within six months of the Board of Trustees' approval. With 3141 reservations, the 49ers have surpassed 60% of that goal less than three weeks after his announcement.
The current FSL numbers postively reflect the effort to create, among other benefits, stronger ties to the community and alumni base. Sixty-seven percent of the current account holders are not 49er Club members and 70% of the account holders are alumni.
Interested fans and corporations are encouraged to add their names to the growing reservation list by calling the 49ers ticket office at 704/687-4949 or the 49ers Athletic Foundation at 704/687-4950 or by logging on to the 49ers official athletic website, www.charlotte49ers.com.
