49ers’ GM Has Electrical Substation Tested And Surprise Results Announced (Breaking)

The San Francisco 49ers have an electrical substation right next to their stadium that has started to garner a lot of attention over the last few years. The astounding amount of injuries that the 49ers have each year has led fans to think that there is a connection between the two.

Specifically, many fans think that the exposure to low-frequency electromagnetic waves were causing players to have more soft-tissue injuries more than any other team. The rumors picked up enough steam to have San Francisco’s general manger look into it.

49ers’ GM John Lynch Has Electrical Substation Tested Outside Of Stadium

According to Jordan Dajani of CBS Sports, the results are in regarding the substation:

On Sunday, Lynch revealed that the 49ers hired an independent expert to investigate the substation and if it presented any concerns. After reviewing the results of the investigation, Lynch called them a “nothing burger,” and that whatever levels the expert looked at did not present a concern, per The Athletic.

Furthermore, Lynch also said that none of the free agents that signed with the 49ers this offseason asked about the substation theory. It was never an issue.

Prior to the 49ers’ own investigation, the substation theory was rejected by several scientists and medical professionals, according to ESPN. But football fans struggled to explain why the 49ers were forced to place 20 players on reserve lists in 2025.

It appears San Francisco’s brass is prepared to put the viral conspiracy theories to bed, but there’s no denying that the 49ers’ strength and conditioning staff will be under pressure to improve in 2026.

John Lynch said the substation was never a topic during 49ers’ free agency. Based on the bargains SF secured, it doesn’t seem he’s lying.

“We did hire an independent scientist and it was basically a big nothing burger. We’re safe.”
