According to a report by The Mercury News, the city of Santa Clara and the San Francisco 49ers are butting heads over Levi's Stadium again — and there's a whole bunch of money on the line.
This tiff is about rent: The NFL cancelled the preseason in its entirety, so the 49ers lost out on two home preseason games. For that reason, the team says it isn't obligated to pay roughly $2.7 million in rent for those two contests, a dollar amount The Mercury News says will be closer to $5 million by the end of the month.
