h. Honoring a Legend: 49ers Approve Statue for Jerry Rice at Levi’s Stadium

Santa Clara, CA — BREAKING NEWS:
In a move that has electrified the NFL community and reignited fan passions coast to coast, the San Francisco 49ers have officially approved a $2.5 million investment to build a life-size statue of Hall of Famer Jerry Rice outside Levi’s Stadium. The tribute, honoring what many call the greatest wide receiver in football history, has been decades in the making—but its timing is raising just as many eyebrows as it is cheers.

It’s not just a statue. It’s a symbol. A reminder of greatness. Of grit. Of what it means to wear the red and gold,” said 49ers CEO Jed York in an emotional press conference. “We owe this to Jerry—and to the fans who watched him redefine football.”

The statue, set to be unveiled during the 2026 season opener, will stand 20 feet tall and feature a motion-inspired design of Rice mid-route, capturing the athleticism and legacy that made him a household name.

But not everyone is on board.

Some fans are asking: “Why now?” Others say it should’ve happened 10 years ago. And with recent team struggles and debates around player contracts, critics are questioning the “PR timing” of the announcement. Still, the majority of the 49ers Faithful are flooding social media with excitement, tagging it:
#ThankYouJerry and #GOATStatue

Former teammates, including Steve Young and Terrell Owens, have expressed their support—while rivals from the Cowboys and Packers have stayed notably silent.

Whether you think it’s long overdue or perfectly timed, one thing is certain: Jerry Rice is getting a monument as legendary as his career—and the NFL world is watching every move.
