Why Patriots, Seahawks aren't using 49ers practice facility amid Levi's Stadium electric substation conspiracy theory
The Sporting News ^ | 06/03/26 | Staff

“Typically, players use the facilities of whichever host team is having the game. Although 2026's game is being held in the San Francisco 49ers home field, Levi's Stadium, neither team will be using the 49ers practice facilities. While teams choose different practice facilities for a variety of different reasons, the 49ers' facility's proximity to an electrical substation has fueled conspiracy theories about it causing injuries.“

Niners saying their injuries this season were caused by the evil substation and it weakens their bones. Now I’ve heard everything. The team that loses will probably blame it on the substation!

Losers typically need some kind of excuse... If it wasn’t for that nasty electricity... We could’ve won the Super Bowl.

It might be deduced that a person who clicks on an article’s headline cares, at least somewhat.

Wasn’t it a SuperBowl in the Bay Area which had the mysterious power failure?

What's the difference between a conspiracy theory and reality? About six months.

There is medical evidence that high electromagnetic radiation weakens collagen in tendons and ligaments.

Don't expect the 49ers to use their practice facility at Levi's Stadium next year.

Could Chronic EMF Exposure from a Nearby Substation Be Causing the 49ers' Epidemic of Tendon Ruptures?

Wouldn’t surprise me…… the Niners blaming broken bones and other injuries on an electrical substation is pretty outlandish. Purdy seems like a pussy anyway.

Purdy and the Niners are a good team. As a Lions Fan they have had the 2nd most defensive injuries ranked 1 & 2 over the lat two years. Sh*t happens.

Enjoy the game tomorrow.

Howie’s in the closet as a football fan, doc. He doesn’t want the rest of us to catch on.

LOL!
The game tomorrow should be a good one.
Both teams are pretty evenly matched, but I think the Seahawks defense will outlast the Patriots defense if the pesky electrical grid and all those wild electrons flying around don’t interfere with the game!

*** There is medical evidence that high electromagnetic radiation weakens collagen in tendons and ligaments.***

Do you think it’s HEMR that is causing the tendon and ligament issues? I think they’ve been given drugs that are *approved* right now for beefing them (their muscles) up, but their tendons/ligaments can’t keep up.

The other possibility is that other *approved* supplements they’re taking are making their tendons/ligaments brittle, and prone to snapping/tearing.

JMHO.

Truth be told, I’m having a hard time picking a team to pull for. I don’t have allegiance to either team, but I do have favorite players on both sides, and a coach on one team. Hubby is solidified behind the Patriots, and I’m totally fine with that, but I want a certain player on the Seahawks offense to do well, too. So I will be a happy camper either way.

Glyphosate can damage connective tissues. It’s sprayed on every grain that’s eaten in the US, unless it’s organic.

Covering their bodies with tin foil nullifies the gamma rays. Don’t their trainers know nuthin’?

Levi’s stadium is a disaster for fans. Is the substation going to be the reason given for the 49ers to move and upgrade?

Yeah, that’s what I think. They want a new stadium somewhere else…..
