    *“Flexible scheduling” will again be used in Weeks 11-17. In Weeks 11-16, the schedule lists the games tentatively set for Sunday Night Foot-

    ball on NBC. Only Sunday afternoon games are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, in which case the tentatively scheduled Sunday

    night game would be moved to an afternoon start time. A flexible scheduling move would be announced at least 12 days before the game.

    For Week 17, the Sunday night game will be announced no later than six days prior to December 29. The schedule does not list a Sunday

    night game in Week 17, but an afternoon game with playoff implications will be moved to that time slot. Flexible scheduling ensures quality

    matchups in all Sunday time slots in those weeks and gives “surprise” teams a chance to play their way into primetime.

    Flexible scheduling will not be applied to games airing on Thursday or Monday nights.

    *^The dates and start times for Week 16 will be announced no later than following Week 8.

    Denise and John York bring long and distinguished careers in sports and business to their roles as Co-Chairs of the San Fran-cisco 49ers, where they combine their passion for building a championship team with their commitment to being the best possible business partners and community citizens.

    A FORTY-TWO-YEAR LEGACY IN BUSINESS & PRO SPORTS

    Since Denise’s father, Edward J. DeBartolo Sr., purchased the 49ers in 1977, she has been an integral part of four decades of 49ers football, including 44 playoff contests and five Super Bowl victories. Earlier in her career, Denise served as President of the Pittsburgh Penguins hockey team. Under her leadership, the Penguins were revitalized and transformed into a cham-pionship team, winning the organization’s first Stanley Cup in 1991. In doing so, she became just the third woman to have her name engraved on hockey’s famed championship trophy.

    A successful entrepreneur, John spent years as Senior Vice President/Director of Racing Operations for the DeBartolo Cor-poration, instituting programs designed to enhance the fan experience and raise the profile of thoroughbred horse racing. John, a noted pathologist, began his business career in 1982 as Founder of DeYor Laboratories in Youngstown, Ohio. From three employees, he molded the company into a 500-person operation with facilities in three states before selling the com-pany to Corning, Inc., in 1993.

    As Co-Chairs of the 49ers, Denise and John provide the re-sources and guidance to uphold the 49ers celebrated history and oversee the team’s relationship with the Commissioner of the National Football League and other team owners.

    THE YORKS’ GOLDEN NUGGETS• Denise served as President of the Pittsburgh Penguins hock-

    ey team and became just the third woman to have her name engraved on the Stanley Cup.

    • John spent years as Senior Vice President/Director of Racing Operations for the DeBartolo Corporation, instituting pro-grams designed to enhance the fan experience and raise the profile of thoroughbred horse racing.

    • John began his business career in 1982 as Founder of DeYor Laboratories in Youngstown, OH.

    • Denise is an active member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Committee.

    • John is Chairman of the NFL’s Health & Safety Advisory Com-mittee, which was established in 2011. He is also a member of both the League’s Audit and International committees, the latter of which he previously served as Chairman.

    • The 49ers were named the 2017 ESPN Sports Humanitarian Team of the Year and the 2017 Pop Warner Little Scholars Team of the Year. The 49ers and the 49ers Foundation were previously recognized as Beyond Sport’s 2015 Sport Team of the Year for Outstanding Philanthropic Sports Organization and the 2013 winner of the prestigious Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Steve Patterson Award for Sports Philanthropy.

    • For the past 27 years, the 49ers Foundation has educated and empowered Bay Area youth through a host of innovative, community-based strategies. The 49ers Foundation has dis-tributed more than $40 million back into the community.

    • In 2014, the 49ers were among the first professional sports or-ganizations to develop and deliver STEAM learning concepts for youth with the launch of the Denise DeBartolo York Edu-cation Center at Levi’s Stadium.

    • The ongoing commitment to promote education is also dem-onstrated in the 49ers STEM Leadership Institute (SLI), a col-laborative education venture in cooperation with Chevron, the Santa Clara Unified School District and the Silicon Valley Education Foundation. The SLI program provides over 300 hours of rigorous STEM curriculum to cohorts of 60 high-achieving 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders each year from Cabrillo Middle School and Santa Clara High School. Each student selected into SLI gains access to the six-year program, which is meant to strengthen students STEM relat-ed skills to prepare them for eventual entry to top-tier colleg-es. In fall 2016, the program – now serving its full capacity of 360 students – expanded to Santa Clara High School (SCHS) and, in Spring 2020, the inaugural class will graduate from high school.

    TAKING A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN THE NFL

    Denise and John’s dedication to the sport of football extends to the top levels of the NFL.

    Denise is an active member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Committee, where she helps to oversee the League’s ongoing support of the museum that pays tribute to the triumphs of pro-fessional football’s greatest stars, including 28 legendary mem-bers of the San Francisco 49ers.

    John is Chairman of the NFL’s Health & Safety Advisory Com-mittee, which was established in 2011. He is also a member of both the League’s Audit and International committees, the lat-ter of which he previously served as Chairman. Under his lead-ership, the 49ers became the first team to play a regular season game outside the borders of the United States, taking on the Arizona Cardinals in front of 100,000 fans at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. Under his direction, the League expanded its pres-ence abroad with regular season games at Wembley Stadium in London, England. San Francisco has played in London twice, defeating the Denver Broncos in 2010 and the Jacksonville Jag-uars in 2013.

    CELEBRATING THE TEAM’S LEGENDARY HISTORY

    Denise and John have played a pivotal role in fostering tremen-dous relationships with former players and coaches to help celebrate more than seven monumental decades of 49ers foot-ball. Over the past decade, Denise and John have brought back every Hall of Fame enshrinee from the 49ers to be honored for their tremendous contributions to Bay Area sports.

    Levi’s Stadium opened in 2014 with one of the premiere fea-tures of the venue being the 49ers Museum, which houses the Edward J. DeBartolo Sr. 49ers Hall of Fame. The two-level, 20,000 square foot space is dedicated to showcasing the past, present and future of the 49ers organization and its commit-ment to education and innovation.

    Under the guidance of Denise and John, the team hosts its an-nual alumni weekend event to give all players who have donned the red and gold throughout the team’s history a chance to catch up with old friends. They have also worked with players like Joe Montana and the late Dwight Clark, and the members of the 1981 49ers defense to re-enact and commemorate some of the team’s most famous plays such as “The Catch” and the goal line stand that propelled the team to its first Super Bowl victory. As the team said goodbye to Candlestick Park in 2013, the 49ers commemorated many great memories by honoring the Top 10 moments in the storied history of the venue by welcoming back the alumni who helped make them all possible.

    ENHANCING THE FAN EXPERIENCE

    Denise and John are dedicated to embracing the passion of 49ers fans everywhere. They are committed to giving fans an opportunity to experience the excitement of 49ers football year-round, and they have made it their mission to embrace the Faithful as family.

    Levi’s Stadium is the culmination of their vision to create an unparalleled game day experience for 49ers fans. The venue not only provides fans the ultimate place to enjoy 49ers foot-ball, but it also plays host to a number of world-class sports and entertainment events throughout the year. Through the integration of innovative technology, sustainable practices and groundbreaking design elements, Levi’s Stadium accurately re-flects the best of the Bay Area while bringing fans closer to the game.

    Visitors to Levi’s Stadium immediately notice wider, open con-courses that look back into the lower bowl so fans don’t miss a minute of the action while waiting for food. A significant increase in the number of points of sale for concessions and merchandise and in the number of restrooms was done to limit congestion. From their seats, visitors can marvel at more than 19,000 square-feet of video board space, while using the Levi’s Stadium App to order food, beverages and merchandise or to watch replays of the action on the field in real-time. Those who visit the NRG Solar Terrace on the roof of the stadium’s suite tower are treated to unbelievable views, while being shaded by 49 solar panel arrays that helped make the venue the first stadium home to an NFL team to open with LEED Gold certifica-tion. Levi’s Stadium is also the first home of a NFL team to earn dual LEED Gold certifications, achieving its second distinction for operations and maintenance of an existing building in 2016.

    Levi’s Stadium features three signature locations - The 49ers Museum, Michael Mina’s Bourbon Steak and Bourbon Pub res-taurants, and the 49ers Team Store. Packaged with the venue’s special events programs, these elements make Levi’s Stadium a year-round destination.

    Levi’s Stadium garnered international recognition by receiving the prestigious honor of Sports Business Journal’s 2015 Sports Facility of the Year and the 2015 Sports Venue of the Year at the StadiumBusiness Awards in Barcelona, Spain. The venue has also received several recognitions from the sustainability industry - including the 2017 StadiumBusiness Environmental Award - for its environmentally friendly design and operations plan, both of which were mandated by the York family.

    MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF OTHERS

    Under the leadership of Denise and John, the 49ers commu-nity impact and the 49ers Foundation are recognized among the most impactful in all of professional sports. The 49ers were named the 2017 ESPN Sports Humanitarian Team of the Year and the 2017 Pop Warner Little Scholars Team of the Year. The 49ers and the 49ers Foundation were previously recognized as Beyond Sport’s 2015 Sport Team of the Year for Outstanding Philanthropic Sports Organization and the 2013 winner of the prestigious Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Steve Patterson Award for Sports Philanthropy.

    For the past 28 years, the 49ers Foundation has educated and empowered Bay Area youth through a host of innovative, com-munity-based strategies, including direct programming and supporting the 49ers Academy, Fresh Lifelines for Youth, City Year of San Jose, the Center for Youth Wellness, and Tipping Point. The 49ers Foundation has distributed more than $46 mil-lion back into the community. The York family believes that, if a child can learn to learn, they will continue to educate them-selves for the rest of their lives.

    Within the 49ers Foundation’s direct programming, 49ers EDU is a direct reflection of the York family’s passion and commit-ment to providing and improving educational opportunities for young people in the Bay Area. The program provides myriad opportunities to engage learners, teachers and families in stan-dards-aligned and community-building educational program-ming—all free of charge. In 2014, the 49ers were among the first professional sports organizations to develop and deliver STEAM learning concepts for youth with the launch of the Denise De-Bartolo York Education Center at Levi’s Stadium, and the corre-sponding field trip program that runs through it to this day. The program offers free on-site STEAM education programming for students in grades K-8 by integrating innovative concepts that support classroom learning in the community and beyond.

  • SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS2019 MEDIA GUIDE 7

    Since its inception, 49ers EDU has engaged more than 210,000 students in STEAM conversations through its standards-aligned field trip program – at no cost. The mission of 49ers EDU is simple: to show students and teachers in kindergarten through eighth grade that education can go beyond textbooks and tra-ditional lessons, and to light a fire for young people for STEAM concepts, so they have a stronger proclivity to pursue these sub-jects throughout their education. Fortified with a team of dedi-cated educators, 49ers EDU teaches over 360 students a day the principles of STEAM through something they love -- football. The program also hosts a professional development program for teachers and has a family learning series that brings parents and kids together to explore STEAM.

    The ongoing commitment to promote education is also demon-strated in the 49ers STEM Leadership Institute (SLI), a collabora-tive education venture in cooperation with Chevron, the Santa Clara Unified School District and the Silicon Valley Education Foundation. The SLI program provides over 300 hours of rigor-ous STEM curriculum to cohorts of 60 high-achieving 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders each year from Cabrillo Middle School and Santa Clara High School. Each student selected into SLI gains access to the six-year program, which is meant to strengthen students STEM related skills to prepare them for eventual entry to top-tier colleges. In fall 2016, the program – now serving its full capacity of 360 students – expanded to San-ta Clara High School (SCHS) and, in Spring 2020, the inaugural class will graduate from high school.

    Football has been in the York family for over 40 years and 49ers PREP presented by U.S. Bank is the evolution of the fam-ily’s continuing efforts to promote health and wellness through the game of football. 49ers PREP is more than just football, it’s the 49ers Foundation’s boots-on-the-ground approach to serv-ing Bay Area youth through sport. The direct impact of 49ers PREP can be seen in the over 100,000 participants who have engaged in the program since 2014. In 2018 alone, 49ers PREP programming provided more than 170 free, non-contact, co-ed football camps and clinics to more than 30,000 kids of all ages, teaching the importance of health and wellness. 49ers PREP additionally launched last year a free flag football program for girls and boys with over 500 participants on 70 teams, across 7 leagues throughout the Bay Area. New for 2019, 49ers PREP launched additional flag football leagues in the Bay Area and Hawaii. The goal set forth by the York family is to continue to teach more children the importance of teamwork, goal-setting and how to live a healthy lifestyle in a fun, safe and educational environment.

    In recognition of their community involvement, Denise and John have been honored with a number of accolades including the Children Discovery Museum’s Legacy for Children Award, City Year’s Service Leadership Award, Silicon Valley Exemplary Community Leadership Award by Silicon Valley FACES, Out-standing Corporate Philanthropy Award at the Catholic Chari-ties/Catholic Youth Organization’s Loaves and Fishes Dinner, and annual inclusion on the Top Corporate Philanthropists list for the San Jose/Silicon Valley Business Journal.

    Their passion for community involvement extends beyond the Bay Area as well. John has been honored with Loyola Univer-sity’s Stritch Medal – the highest honor awarded by the school – for his ongoing contributions to his alma mater. The couple was honored with the Youngstown Hearing and Speech Cen-ter’s Great Communicators Award in recognition of their phil-anthropic leadership. They continue to support the Boys and Girls Club of Youngstown, Making Kids Count and the Mahoning Valley United Way, while also being intimately involved with the Edward J. DeBartolo Memorial Scholarship Foundation, which awards college scholarships to deserving Youngstown area high school seniors.

    Denise continues to provide mentoring and tuition assistance for at-risk youth throughout all levels of education. This past year, along with her usual contribution, Denise “adopted” Wil-liamson Elementary School in Youngstown through the United Way Success after Six program, and her donation sponsored the after school program. She also works with the local food bank and supports Rescue Mission, Akron Children’s Hospital Mahon-ing Valley, Beatitude House, Youngstown Neighborhood Devel-opment, Angels for Animals, Alchemy Acres, YWCA Scholarship Program, Women in Entrepreneurship Program at Youngstown Business Incubator and made a substantial contribution to the new Youngstown State University Veteran’s Resource Center. Over the last few years, and again this year, Denise has been the sponsor of the Ohio Nonviolence Week in conjunction with the Simeon Booker Courage Award. Denise is also passionate about cancer-related causes, including The Serenity Garden at the Joanie Abdu Comprehensive Breast Care Center.

    PUTTING FAMILY FIRST

    Though Denise and John have accomplished much in their pro-fessional careers, they first define themselves as husband, wife, and parents.

    Their eldest son, Jed, now carries on the family’s legacy -- be-gun by his grandfather Edward J. DeBartolo Sr., his Uncle Ed-die DeBartolo Jr., and his parents -- by serving as CEO of the 49ers. Their twin daughters, Jenna and Mara, have worked in the Napa Valley wine industry for several years and are active participants with the 49ers Foundation and Community Rela-tions efforts. Their son, Tony, was an entrepreneur whose true passion lied in philanthropy, which led him to support a number of non-profit efforts and work closely with incarcerated youth. The York children share their parents’ passion for community service and are very active in the 49ers Foundation. Denise and John, have two grandchildren, Jaxon and Brixton, the sons of Jed and his wife, Danielle.

    BUILDING A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM

    As chief executive officer of the San Francisco 49ers, Jed York oversees all aspects of the organization. Now in his 15th year with the team and 10th as CEO, York has been a driving force behind the 49ers success on and off the field during that time. York rec-ognizes and shares the ongoing passion of the team’s faithful fans.

    During York’s tenure, the team has experienced great success having won two NFC West Division titles, advanced to three con-secutive NFC Championship Games and a Super Bowl. His strong leadership was also instrumental in providing the team and its fans a state-of-the-art new home. On April 19, 2012, the Santa Clara Stadium Authority broke ground on Levi’s Stadium and enlisted the 49ers to manage the construction process, which achieved a ribbon cutting just two years later.

    Designed to set a new standard for the stadium experience, Levi’s Stadium has become known as one of the most iconic sports and entertainment venues in the world. The building has garnered international acclaim having been named 2015 Sports Venue of the Year by the Sports Business Journal and Venue of the Year at the 2015 StadiumBusiness Awards in Barcelona, Spain. Leverag-ing technology and sustainability, Levi’s Stadium has also gener-ated international acclaim for its environmental responsibility. For its green innovation – inclusive of being the first NFL stadium to twice be LEED certified – Levi’s Stadium was named the 2016 Green Sports Alliance Environmental NFL Innovators of the Year and the 2017 StadiumBusiness Awards Environmental Stadium of the Year.

    In its first five years of operation, Levi’s Stadium has already suc-cessfully hosted Super Bowl 50, WrestleMania 31, the Copa Amer-ica Centenario and CONCACAF Gold Cup, the 2015 NHL Stadium Series, the International Championship Cup featuring soccer powers such as Manchester United and FC Barcelona, multiple Pac-12 Football Championship Games, and stadium concert tours headlined by Beyoncé and U2. Most recently, the venue hosted the 2019 College Football Playoff National Championship Game.

    RECOGNIZING THE 49ERS FAITHFUL

    A 49ers fan since birth, York recognizes that the success of the 49ers hinges on the team’s faithful fans, and he is committed to honoring them for their passion and enthusiasm. Most recently, York recognized the unique opportunities Levi’s Stadium pre-sented the team and its fans, and he directed the organization to capitalize.

    From the time Levi’s Stadium was just a concept, creating the ul-timate game day experience for 49ers fans was at the core of the York family’s vision. The unique approach taken to designing the venue and bringing that vision to life incorporated one of the Bay Area’s most notable natural resources – innovative technology. As York has repeatedly stated, Levi’s Stadium may not be the big-gest stadium, but it will be the smartest.

    With technology woven into its backbone, the building not only allows visitors to customize their own individual experience through the use of the Levi’s Stadium App, but it is also able to seamlessly evolve throughout the decades to come. In addition to groundbreaking design elements that bring fans closer to the game, the venue is a showcase for the region’s sustainable efforts and world-class wine and cuisine. Fans have also come to recog-nize Levi’s Stadium as a year-round destination that features a restaurant headlined by an award-winning chef and a museum dedicated to honoring the team’s storied history, while also using football as a means to educate Bay Area youth.

    Under York’s leadership, the team established the Edward J. De-Bartolo, Sr. 49ers Hall of Fame in 2009, to commemorate the significant accomplishments of some of the team’s biggest stars and key contributors. Named for his grandfather and the beloved patriarch of the 49ers, the Hall of Fame automatically inducted those 49ers greats that have either had their jersey numbers re-tired by the team or have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. York, shortly thereafter, announced the Hall of Fame’s inaugural inductee, his uncle, Edward J. DeBartolo, Jr., who was enshrined during the 2009 season. The 49ers Hall of Fame now has a home inside the 49ers Museum at Levi’s Stadium.

  • SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS2019 MEDIA GUIDE 11

    One of the most respected players to ever play the game of football, the six-time finalist for the Pro Foot-ball Hall of Fame and San Fran-cisco 49ers General Manager John Lynch has a longstand-ing appreciation for the United States military.

    As someone whose grand-father and great uncle volun-teered for the Army the day after the deadly attacks on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, Lynch has the utmost respect for our military service men and women and has commit-ted time and resources towards supporting the United States Armed Forces for decades.

    Since 1998, Lynch has frequented various Air Force bases and military hospitals to personally thank those serving in the military, including MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, FL, Walter Reed Hospital in Bethesda, MD, and various visits to Fort Carson and Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado. In 2002, the John Lynch Foundation host-ed the ‘Salute the Stars & Stripes’ fundraiser honoring then United States Army Commander of U.S. Central Command Tommy Franks.

    “Through my foundation, we’ve been involved in military appre-ciation for a long, long time,” said Lynch. “Military appreciation is so important to me, because we understand that the unbelievable freedoms, ideals and realities that make America – in my mind – the greatest country in the world are given to us because a lot of people sacrificed for them. To me, no one does so more than the military.”

    SALUTE TO SERVICE AWARD NOMINEE During his last season playing in the NFL (2007), Lynch hosted troops from Buckley Air Force Base (Aurora, CO) during the Denver Broncos training camp at Dove Valley. He visited with and shared a meal with military personnel who had either recently returned from serving in Iraq or were preparing for overseas deployment.

    Lynch’s military appreciation continues to this day. Every year since 2011, he has hosted military families at the annual Lynch Christmas Party in Colorado and during his inaugural training camp as 49ers general manager, Lynch hosted service men and women during the team’s Military Appreciation Day.

    In addition to his stellar play on the field, Lynch is also a pillar of the community. He and his wife, Linda, formed the John Lynch Foundation, which is committed to inspiring young people to be-come leaders through scholarship, sport participation and com-munity involvement. The Foundation is committed to developing leaders by encouraging dreams, providing programs that assist and motivate, and recognizing achievement and excellence.

    Lynch was the recipient of the 2006 Bart Starr Award, which is voted upon by players throughout the NFL and recognizes a play-er who shows outstanding character and leadership in the home, on the field and in the community. He was also presented with The Byron “Whizzer” White Award, which is given annually to the NFL player who serves his team, community and country in the spirit of Bryon Raymond White. In 2019, Lynch received the prestigious Wender Weis Change Maker Award, which is given annually to a current or former professional athlete who has used their sports platform to improve the lives of underserved youth. Lynch was also the 2019 recipient of the Excellence in Leadership Award from the Positive Coaching Alliance.

    John and his wife, Linda, have four children – Jake, Lindsay, Lilly and Leah.

    Paraag Marathe is in his 19th year with the 49ers, currently serv-ing as both President of 49ers Enterprises & Executive Vice Presi-dent of Football Operations.

    On the team side, Marathe continues in his long-respected role as the team’s chief contract negotiator and salary cap architect, while overseeing the team’s football analytics department, among other football duties. He is responsible for the 49ers compliance with the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement and works along-side general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan on all aspects of the club’s football operations.

    Within 49ers Enterprises, Marathe oversees outside business ventures, advisory efforts, and major investment opportunities for the club. Marathe recently led the effort by 49ers Enterprises to purchase a minority ownership stake in Leeds United Football Club of the English Championship League. Marathe holds a seat on the Leeds United Board of Directors as part of the investment designed to help the historic club earn promotion to the Premier League. Backed by the 49ers in the 2018-19 season, Leeds fell just shy of promotion, advancing to the Championship play-off semi-final.

    While serving as 49ers team president from 2014-16 and COO from 2010-13, Marathe oversaw the development of Levi’s Stadi-um and helped bring to life the vision of an unparalleled fan ex-perience at the venue. Using the Bay Area as inspiration, the club focused on bringing technology, sustainability, and culture to the stadium experience. His leadership was critical during the club’s transition from Candlestick Park to Levi’s Stadium, as he set the vision and hired many of the current executive team members. He also played a critical role on the small team that founded and incubated VenueNext, a technology company that is setting new standards for the live event experience.

    In addition to 49ers games, the venue has hosted a myriad of non-NFL events such as the 2019 College Football Playoff National Championship, Super Bowl 50, WrestleMania 31, the 2015 NHL Sta-dium Series, multiple Pac-12 Championship Games, the Redbox Bowl, concerts, and international soccer. Under Marathe’s lead-ership, the stadium garnered industry acclaim, most notably the prestigious honor of Sports Business Journal 2015 Sports Facility of the Year and Venue of the Year at the 2015 Stadium Business Awards in Barcelona, Spain.

    Marathe has played an integral role in rebuilding the 49ers cur-rent roster, negotiating contract extensions in recent years with a number of key players, including QB Jimmy Garoppolo and T Joe Staley. Additionally, Marathe’s work during free agency has helped to land accomplished veteran players, such as All-Pro CB Richard Sherman, Pro Bowlers DL Dee Ford (trade/extension), FB Kyle Juszczyk and CB Jason Verrett, as well as LB Kwon Alexander.

    Al Guido was named President of the San Francisco 49ers on Feb-ruary 15, 2016. Guido oversees all key business initiatives for the team. Guido also concurrently serves as the CEO and co-manag-ing partner of Elevate Sports Ventures, which – launched in 2018 – works to bring comprehensive business solutions to the sports and entertainment industry that identify new revenue opportuni-ties and bring new, innovative ideas to market.

    Prior to being named President of the 49ers, Guido served as the team’s chief operating officer from 2014-16. Levi’s Stadium has proven itself as a 360-degree entertainment venue in its first four years under Guido’s leadership. The venue has hosted Super Bowl 50, WrestleMania 31, Major League Soccer, multiple Pac-12 Cham-pionship Football games, International Soccer giants Manchester United and Barcelona, Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, Grateful Dead, and NHL Outdoor Classic. In 2017, the stadium played host to the largest soccer tournament on U.S. soil since the World Cup with the Copa America Centenario as well as hosted the prestigious 2019 College Football Playoff National Championship.

    Under his direction, the construction and year-one operations of Levi’s Stadium exceeded all projections – finishing under budget on construction, with lower public debt than expected, delivering $2.8 million to the City of Santa Clara general fund from non-event revenue in just the first eight months of operations, and fully fund-ing reserve cash balances for the Santa Clara Stadium Authority.

    Guido led the sales team that made the stadium a reality, high-lighted by the record-setting Stadium Builders License sales cam-paign for the stadium’s seats and suites. The team has signed more than a dozen partners with record-breaking figures in cor-porate partnership investments, including Levi’s® and SAP.

    Creating a technologically enhanced game day experience that is influencing sports venues across North America and around the world, the strategy for Levi’s Stadium developed by Guido and the 49ers executive management team has garnered inter-national recognition, most notably the Sports Business Journal 2015 Sports Facility of the Year and Venue of the Year at the 2015 Stadium Business Awards in Barcelona, Spain. Leveraging tech-nology with sustainability, Levi’s Stadium has also generated in-ternational acclaim for its green efforts under Guido’s direction. For its green innovation and implementation – inclusive of being the first NFL stadium to be twice LEED certified – Levi’s Stadium was named the 2017 StadiumBusiness Environmental Stadium of the Year and the 2016 Green Sports Alliance Environmental Inno-vators of the Year.

    Prior to being elevated to his former role as chief operating officer in 2014, Guido worked on behalf of the 49ers and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority as the senior vice president of global sales for Legends beginning in 2010. As the firm which led the sales effort for the 49ers and the Stadium Authority during Levi’s Stadium construction, Legends achieved record-setting records for the franchise.

    Before joining Legends, Guido served as sales manager for the Dallas Cowboys. In that role, he managed the sales department for Cowboys Stadium (now AT&T Stadium) that broke industry re-cords for PSL sales totaling over $600 million.

    Guido joined the Cowboys after having served as the senior direc-tor of ticket sales for the Phoenix Coyotes of the National Hockey League. During his term, the Coyotes achieved the first revenue increases in the 10-year history of the franchise and finished in the top five in the NHL for new business sales.

    A native of Washington Township, NJ, Guido began his career in the sports and entertainment industry with Comcast-Spectacor, owner and operator of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers, NHL’s Phila-delphia Flyers, AHL’s Philadelphia Phantoms, Comcast SportsNet and the Wachovia Complex. Guido later served as director of busi-ness development for the Lakewood Blueclaws (a minor-league affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies).

    A Board Member of City Year San Jose/Silicon Valley, a contribu-tor to the Navy Seal Foundation, Board Member of the Coach K/Fuqua School of Business, and serving on the Advisory Board at the San Jose State Institute for Study of Sport, Society & Social Change, and the Advisory Council at the Positive Coaching Alli-ance, Guido received his bachelor of business administration from the College of New Jersey, where he played wide receiver for the school’s football program. In 2016, Guido was named to the Forty Under 40 list by both the SportsBusiness Journal and the San Francisco Business Times, for demonstrating industry excel-lence and innovation early in his career. His leadership has earned the San Francisco 49ers the 2017 ESPN Sports Humanitarian Team of the Year Award for its comprehensive efforts in the community, while Guido was named to the SportsBusiness Journal’s list of “Power Players: Ticketing” in 2018. He was again recognized in 2019 by the SportsBusiness Journal’s Forty Under 40 list for his ongoing impact in professional sports. The franchise continues to be yearly recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in the Bay Area under his guidance.

    Guido and his wife, Thea, have three daughters, Estella, Sloane and Tatum.
