Charlotte, N.C. - As of the close of business, Wednesday, Nov. 12, the 49ers had received reservations for 4167 Forty-Niner Seat Licenses (FSL's). That translates to a projected $4,167,000 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' decision, tomorrow, November 13, before preparing for 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 4167 reservations, the 49ers have passed 80% of that goal prior to Board of Trustees' vote.

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.
